is it true that hair in your face causes acne?

Question

if so then should i avoid bangs cause i have oily skin?

Answer 1

Hair retains oil - so while your hair is near your skin, it retains the oil your skin produces and keeps it against your skin. This can encourage the clogging of pores, which leads to acne.

I ALWAYS sleep with my hair pulled back in a pony tail, just for this reason, and I have been doing this since I was 17 on my dermatologists recommendation (along with not wearing foundation, stopping the use of hair spray, and washing my face with a gentle cleanser every morning and night - followed by a gentle moisturizer with SPF protection)

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 3

Yes, it is true because hair has oil in it no matter how clean it is.

I have very oily skin and bangs but I havent really had major acne problems.

If you want bangs go for it.
But try using products for oily skin and you wont have as many problems.
I also saw a really good solution to acne problems.

Use a hot compress, then use cold water to close your pores.
Repeat five or six times.
USe soap to wash the area and then use a alcohol soaked cotton ball and it should heal to five or six hours.

I think I got that right.

Hope I helped.

Answer 4

oily skin is the basic cause of acne, and the hair in your face and become oily and add to your oily skin, but if you keep your hair and face clean then there should be no reason for you not to get bangs.

Answer 5

it can, but as long as you keep your bangs clean and your face clean, you should be fine. Also, you might want to avoid putting products in your bangs like gel, because it might get close to your skin and irritate it. You might want to clip your bangs back at night and when acne is really bad. and remember, you can just wash your bangs by themselves with water, shampoo and a sink without having to wash your whole head, and look and feel fresh in minutes!
