yeah firstly straight across bangs? not a good look imo and ALSO probably the main cause of your zits, my advice is wear your hair back a while, STOP the spray products and use some face products, i throughly recommend the following:
1. ORIGINS Clay Mask - simple, apply after shower, leave to dry and then wash off
2. Exfoliate
3. Wash - 2x a day
4. apply benzoyl peroxide before bed after cleaning face on affected spots
5. Change bedsheets often (1x week)

Hairspray (and other styling products) are often a cause of acne on the forehead and hairline. Sleep with your bangs pulled off your face and everything else in a ponytail. Try to use as little styling product as possible, and lift your bangs off your face while spraying them to minimize contact.
As far as actually treating the problem areas, wash with a cleanser containing either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid (the most common acne fighters). After washing, moisturize well with a non-comodegenic (won't clog pores) moisturizer, and spot-treat the pimples with a topical cream containing benzoyl peroxide (I like Clearasil Ultra Vanishing Cream... it's been a miracle for my skin).
If after a reasonable period of time your skin doesn't clear up, go see a dermatologist. It's better than letting your acne worsen while trying a lot of over-the-counter products (and acne treatment is usually covered by insurance).

Okay, I agree that the bangs and hairspray are probably the cause, especially if you are sweating a lot. And yes proactiv is great. However, it's also about 40-50 bucks a month.
Two things you can use, first is a scrub by st ives, it's called apricot scrub. It's awesome. Or you can put toothpaste on your head, not the gel, the paste, leave it on overnight or a few hours, this reduces the swelling and will make them less noticeable.
Hope this helps :)

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Well, the oil that you hair makes is probably the reason you have zits on your forehead. Try cliping your hair up 2-4 times a week and wash your face everyday twice a day.

Use proactive, eat greens and fruits for a while, and stop using chemicals such as hairspray, mouses, hand and face cremes with artificial chemicals dumped in them. Also dont use chemical shamposs', conditioners and bpdy scrubs and soaps. Stick to all natural stuff. If you can find it in the stores, look online. It will be there!
gOOD lUCK!
