So ever since I got side bangs (2 years ago), I've struggled with acne underneath them. There are times where it gets pretty clear but then I have a new pimple the next morning. That's my only problem area. I'm very hygienic, take a shower everyday, wash my face twice a day, etc. I have scars too and it looks terrible, so I'm too embarrassed to pin up my bangs. And this isn't good at all, considering I'm a model and I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to have to pin my bangs up for a shoot. Please help!
I have a pic up of me with my bangs.
Thank you XoxO <3

Its probably products you put on your hair are getting on your face and the acne is flaring from the fact that your bangs are touching your face or it could be that you touch your bangs with your hands and since they are close to your face any dirt on your hands is getting on your face so try to be conscience of everytime you touch your bangs that your hands are clean and try not to put too much product on your bangs as well... that's all I can think of but honestly I'm guessing if you lose the bangs probably those pimples will go away.

Try pinning your bangs back at night, so they aren't rubbing on your skin all night.

Is the oil from your hair (bangs) on your face..you should probably pin them up for a little bit see if there's any difference..that or maybe use other products on your hair.

Try using dry shampoo on the underside of your bangs, it'll suck up the oil from your hair that's causing the pimples. Also, I find making a paste of crushed aspirin and water and applying it to the pimples overnight really helps clear them up. Good luck!

I used to have the same problem... Oily hair, skin and bangs don't mix. I've finally learned to manage my skin for the most part... But I suggest (like other girls said ) wearing them back at night so the oil from you hair isn't sitting on your forehead. Goodluck girl

Try to keep your bangs out of your face whenever possible at home, etc.
