Q: I seem to experience a lot of acne breakouts on my forehead, in the area where my hair touches my skin. Why is this?

A:The oils from the hair can cause inflammation in the skin, which can clog the pores. Certain hair treatments only exacerbate this tendency. It is critical that you keep your hair clean and avoid the use of pomades, gels, etc. if you wish to reduce the probability of acne.

Try to keep the hair pulled back off of your face, forehead, and back of the neck. To treat breakouts, try using toner pads that are saturated with DMAE three times per day.
