It only took 6 months...

...to figure out that I am allergic to Paul Mitchell products!!!!

So the last 6 months I have been breaking out uncontrollably around my chin, jaw, chest, shoulders, back, and even my neck! I was SO confused to what was going on because naturally I have never been a really "zitty" person. I would occasionally get a zit on my face, but I dont think I ever had a single zit on my neck?

The other day, I was talking to Scott, discussing my complete confusion about what was going on with my skin, and that's when I realized it. Its my shampoo and conditioner. I have been using Paul Mitchell products since the day I started school, and it was about 6 months ago that I started noticing a change in my skin. I have a special body wash that I use to keep my skin disease at bay (a non-contagious skin disease where my hair follicle gets infected) and I know for a fact that that body soap works, I have been using it for 4 years, and at 10 dollars a bar...it better work. But I noticed the last couple months, my back always felt a little waxy, a little "dirty" even though I washed it every day.



I also noticed that everytime I washed my hair with PM products, it always left my hair feeling a little waxy as well, but I never put 2 and 2 together till I realized that it was was not washing all the way off since it's waxy, and since the waxiness was staying in my hair, it was getting in my pillow when I sleep, and then I smash my face and neck into my waxy pillow all night. AH HA! it all fits together! So once I had this little epiphany I text my good old friend Kendra (who is an incredible master cosmtologist) about this situtation, and she said %100 without a doubt im allergic to the shampoo and conditioner, and one of the main symptoms is cystic acne in all the places I described.

So I immediently went out and got some new shampoo. After much consideration and studying, and talking to professionals about what is best for my sensitve skin, I bought my new best friend Pureology. I have tried it before, and loved it, just never felt like I wanted to fork out the ridiculous cash for freaking shampoo. But to say the least, I have been very very impressed and happy with Pureology (I got the purple hydrating colour care one)and I am SOOOOOO glad I invested in this product. My hair is so soft, so clean, so shiny, and my skin actually feels and looks normal again.



Now this is not to say I don't like Paul Mitchell products, I think they are wonderful, worth the money, and most people do not have issues with them like I did, but for me, they just don't work well with my body. BOOOOOO. I love Paul Mitchell. I had 4 bottles in my shower that I can't use.


Anyone want them? Free to a good home lol

(I just realized this is a pointless post...but hey, sometimes I like to talk about pointless stuff!)
