Many of us love to try new hair products, including sprays and gels. But she warned that products used for styling contain pomades (waxes or oils) that can clog the pores and lead to whiteheads and blackheads on the temple and forehead.

not only make our face oily but will also aggravate dandruff, which is another
triggering factor for acne on the face,” she wrote on Instagram. She added that
the same oil usually gets soaked in the pillow making it a breeding ground for
germs. This can lead to acne breakouts as well. “As such, overnight oiling is
not of much help for the scalp or hair. So just keep it for 1-2 hours before
shampooing; that’s sufficient,” she suggested. mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">

color:#3E3E3E">With bangs being in trend, more and more youngsters are opting
for it. But know that they can cause ‘bang breakouts’, which are essentially
the breakouts on your forehead due to “front bangs”. “The reason for which is
very simple - First, oil and hair products that accumulate on the hair itself
can rub against the skin and block pores. Second, hair over the forehead may
trap oil produced in the skin, along with dirt and sweat, causing breakouts.
Even if you are not yet ready to give up your fringe look at least keep them
tucked away in a hairband whenever possible and let the skin breathe,” she
suggested. color:#222222">
