Acne on the forehead, especially near the hairline, is quite common and can be frustrating. Since you’ve ruled out hair oil and makeup as triggers, other factors like sweating under your hat or cap, stress, or hormonal influences might play a role. One approach to manage the acne and help them dry out faster is by keeping a consistent skincare routine. Use a gentle cleanser twice daily to wash your face; anything harsh can irritate the skin further. Consider incorporating products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide spot treatments. These can help target and reduce acne. Another option is a retinoid cream, which increases cell turnover and aids in reducing oil production, though it should be used cautiously to avoid excessive dryness. Remember to moisturize even if your skin feels oily, but choose a non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturizer to prevent clogging pores. Avoid touching your face unnecessarily, and be mindful of any helmets or headgear that can trap sweat and dirt along the forehead. Since you’re a cabin crew member and frequent travel is part of your job, ensuring you stay hydrated and maintain a regular skincare routine despite time zone changes is key. If over-the-counter products aren’t effective, consulting a dermatologist would be a wise next step to explore prescription options or identify any underlying issues. Ensuring a balanced diet with low sugar and dairy intake might also offer benefits, as diet sometimes impacts skin health. Though it’s important to remember that skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all, adapting these strategies within your daily life may help reduce the frequency and severity of your forehead acne.
