How can I get rid of my forehead acne?

To get rid of forehead acne you need to combine treatment and prevention. Start with an effective anti-acne treatment. The best are gels with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

1. Avoid hair gels (Hair gels clog your forehead skin pores and cause forehead pimples).
2. Wash your hair every day. Oily unwashed hair that is in contact with your forehead skin will make your forehead and temples acne worse.
3. Avoid helmets, baseball caps or headbands. These rub on your skin and cause more acne breakouts and more forehead pimples.
