WASH YOUR HAIR

WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TILT YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HAIR

Why this helps prevent bacne.

Tilting the head mainly to the side helps take water directly to the drain, preventing contact with your back skin. Did you know that the back’s skin is thick, thus having a higher possibility of blocked pores? That suggests that letting shampoo or soapy water run down your back increases the chance of clogging your pores, resulting in bacne. It worsens if your skin already has a lot of oil buildup and dead skin cells that increase proneness to spots. Such skin has a great breeding ground for bacteria-triggering inflammation, which causes pus-filled acne and thick red bumps. Can you imagine this happening to your back? For safety, always tilt your head when washing your hair.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
