But as Rubin notes in the episode, lots of folks could benefit from finding sensitive-safe hair care formulas. “Everything you put on your hair gets on your skin. When you use shampoo or conditioner, even if you’re careful to only apply it to the hair, it’s gonna rinse down your scalp, your face, your chest, your back. And it turns out that many people actually have a thin film of hair care residue on our skin, even after they rinse,” she says. “And residue isn’t always a bad thing. Face lotions are residue. But you just need to make sure that whatever is in that residue is friendly to the skin.” And this is especially true for those who are prone to acne, eczema, dryness, and other irritations.
