My forehead is breaking out!! Is it because of my hairspray??!
Question: Ok so I just gave myself side sweeped bangs and I have been using hairspray to hold and train my hair to be the way I want it. I noticed yesterday that my forehead had some bumps on it, they are my regular skin tone but they are bumps and you can feel them
My question is: Could I be allergic to the hairspray that I am using?(Hebal Essances, Shimmery Nights)
Should I switch to a hairspray that won't make my forehead break out?
P.S.- It is only happening on my forehead (the area where my bangs hang over my face, and where my bangs don't touch my face is clear that's how I came with the guess that it was my hair spray)

Its most likely the hair spray. You should switch up to a lighter brand/hold or clean your face after you spray your bangs. Good luck!
If your skin is unable to breath it will break out. The hairspray is preventing oxygen from getting to your skin. Also, when you have your bangs in your face, it does the same thing and you tend to sweat where your bangs hang down.
stop using it 4 a couple days and c what happens it could be ur allergic or your skin is just sensitive against hair products
Test it to see if you are correct
1) stop using that particular hairspray - there are several out on the market that are fragrance free.
2) Don't hold the hairspray so close to your hair and forehead
3) Have you been using a different shampoo and/or conditioner? If you continue to have the bumps after changing your hairspray, it could be your shampoo and make sure you rinse very well.
4)Any other styling product that could be in contact with your skin.
To effectively decide what is causing the breakouts - you need to test or eliminate one product at a time, so you know what is causing the breakouts. Stay away from "protein" enhanced hairsprays - you might have a reaction to collagen - that is in Protein Hairsprays.
Hope it works out for you. If nothing cures your bumps - then seek out medical advise from a Dermatologist.
Its probably just clogged pores, not an allergy. do your hair the way you like it, then gently lift your bangs up and wipe your forehead with a wet cloth to get the hairspray off your skin.
Good luck!
You could in fact have sensitive skin, and your skin could be having an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the hairspray. Instead of switching to a new hairspray, I would recommend giving yourself a break from the hairspray for a few days to a week. I would recommend using hydro cortisone on the broken out area and washing with a gentle cleanser such as cetaphil. Hydro cortisone will decrease inflammation and allergic reaction to the area affected. Since, you said the bumps are the color of your skin, I don't think it is acne blemishes. If, however, the area develops redness and appears to develop whiteheads, this is in fact a breakout. Either way, your hairspray is causing irritation to the area. If the area clears after taking a break from the hairspray, you could try another hairspray Be careful when spraying, ensuring that the spray doesn't touch the skin. If after time the area is still not clear, I would see a physician or specifically a dermatologist, so he or she can prescribe a prescription topical.
P.S. When applying hydro cortisone, use caution. Wash your hands after use, so you don't get it into mucus membranes such as the eye, mouth, or nose.
Good luck and Take Care!
