Never Use These 4 Hair Products On Your Face

4 Hair Products You Should Never Put on Your Face

They might make you break out...or worse.

1. Hairspray

You may have heard an old runway secret that a few spritz of hairspray on your face will help set your makeup. However, hairspray contains lacquers and alcohol that will dry out your skin. Hairspray also contains repellents that could irritate your face, leaving your skin red and bumpy.

2. Hair Dye

If you regularly color your hair and want your brows to match, skip your at-home box color. Instead, use a vegetable-based colorant or tinted brow mascara on your arches. The formulas are less harsh than box dyes, which can be too irritating for the sensitive skin around your eyes. Or apply a matching Moonstruck Mineral Pigment wet to brows and it will last all day until you remove it with facial cleanser.

3. Hair Serum

If you accidentally grab a bottle of serum for your hair instead of your skin, think twice before using it on your face. The formula in hair serum is filled with ingredients that you shouldn't use to treat fine lines or other skin woes. Plus, many of them contain fragrances that can irritate your facial skin. But you can use Glorious Facial & Eye Primer as a hair serum.

4. Shampoo

The same surfactants that clean your hair — stripping it of excess oil and dirt — are not the same ones that you should use on your skin. Shampoos are manufactured to clean and do things to the hair shaft, which are not designed to deal with the delicate molecules of skin. If you tried to wash your face with shampoo, it would leave your face dry and flaky.
