Clean Hair for Clean Skin
Have you ever noticed how acne can be effected by your haircut or how you comb your bangs? Some people with longer hair occasionally try to comb their hair down over their forehead in attempt to hide acne, but this can have unintended consequences, as that hair can leave your skin even more oily than it would normally be. Many guys who try this technique find that acne actually decreases on their forehead after getting their hair clipped shorter.
Likewise, many acne sufferers discover that the skin around their hairline is more prone to blemishes than elsewhere. It comes down to the excess oil that is secreted onto your hair. If you’re washing your face, but ignoring the task of keeping your hair clean, it’s going to come back to bite you. Gently washing - or at least rinsing - your hair each day can be just as important as washing your face in the morning.
Just as your body keeps a protective layer of oil on your skin, it naturally keeps your hair somewhat oily. Hair that is too dry becomes brittle and frizzy, forming loose ends and looking generally bad. You don’t have to get extreme in your hair washing, but neither should you go too long without giving your hair a good rinse, especially if that hair is frequently in contact with your face. Cleanse your hair regularly and try not to use it as a mask to hide forehead acne. Chances are, you’ll only be encouraging more acne to form in the same place.
