Got Bangs? Here’s How to Avoid Unwanted Forehead Acne
The forehead is part of the T-zone, and thus, it has the tendency to become oilier than other parts of the face. Besides, the excess oils and bacteria are trapped underneath, causing pores to clog and pimples to pop up. Here’s how you can keep the bangs and prevent the zits.
Having a hairstyle with bangs can be both chic and stressful. The latter would be courtesy of dirt and oil that leads to zits on the forehead. Apart from the oil, the hair products you use to keep the bangs in top shape can be a recipe for breakouts. But the fear of breakouts should not stop you from trying new hairstyles. The key is to take the necessary precautions like cleansing often and making sure to wash hair regularly to avoid the possibility of any issues. Here are a few tips.
Follow a Proper Skin Care Regime
You can battle the breakouts by properly cleansing your face every night. Stick to using salicylic acid as it can dissolve the oils and fats that accumulate in the pores. Also, never exfoliate your forehead as it can cause your skin to break out further. Instead, use a gentle formula and give your skin some TLC by using an exfoliating serum. Use activated charcoal for glowing skin and healthy hair.
Let Your Skin Breathe
We are not asking you to ditch the bangs but you can surely be smart about it. When you are home and there is no one around, you can simply tuck your bangs to let your skin breathe. Simple tricks like wearing a scarf at night, a headband while sweating in the gym, or a shower cap during deep-conditioning treatments can really make a difference. This way, you will be able to rock a bang at the party without those ugly blemishes. Try these 10 natural remedies to cure pimples for good.
Be Smart With Using Hair Products
The products like the setting spray or serum can sometimes cause acne. Making a few simple twists can minimise oil accumulation. Instead of spraying the hair formula directly on the hair apply it on the comb, to avoid getting the product on the skin neighbouring your hairline. Also, rather than using products on the hairline and directly on the scalp, apply from middle of the shaft to the end to prevent acne. Here are 5 worst acne-causing staple as well as junk food that you must avoid.
Keep Hands off The Hair
Sure, you can freshly wash your hair in the morning and feel like a million dollars, but when you start running your fingers through your bangs throughout the day, you can make your bangs look greasy. So when you are at work, keep blotting sheets in your bag as a quick way to dab away unwanted oils.
It is also important that you treat dandruff so that the flakes do not fall on your forehead and clog pores.
