Is that possible? I have the suspicion that whenever I use shampoos which contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate, I get zits/pimples on my back and forehead. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Nope. But a lot of shampoos (like Toni & Guy's ) make my scalp itch like crazy. They're made of chemicals, innit, not buttercups and rosehips, it's not suprising that they bring people out in nasty reactions. Why don't you try a more natural shampoo...like from the health food shop or Lush (I don't know if they have stores in Deutschland, but you'll be able to buy online and have it posted over).

As for the spots, Clinique Anti-Blemish solutions do a soap and a spray for spots on your body. I've never used either, but I do their three-step facial cleanse/tone/moisturise and it's really, really good - worth every penny and mild enough even for skin as mad-sensitive as mine.

Well, I'm currently using organic shampoo which doesn't contain sodium laureth sulfate (it's similar to Dr. Hauschka's shampoos), but it's getting a little boring, if you know what I mean - I desperately wanna try something new!

I have never heard of shampoos causing blemishes but I've heard of conditioners causing them. I think you can buy hair products without sulfites from higher priced salon brands. I'd never get hair products from the health food store.. I don't think their beauty products are very good.
