If you were an adult who survived the teenage acne phase unscathed, consider yourself lucky! The number one enemy of teenagers and young adults – along with acne – everyone knows that it is during this time of life that we are introduced to them.

Although the possibility of pimples appearing is something that accompanies us throughout our lives, it is during adolescence that they usually appear for the first time.

That said, if you follow Trechos da Vida, you must have already noticed that we always value health and well-being. And through our various types of content, we seek to give tips on the most diverse topics, always for the benefit of our readers.

Throughout the content you are about to read, we will understand together why they appear and what to do to get rid of these annoying 'visitors' every time they appear!

What are the main reasons that cause forehead pimples?

It is difficult to define a reason X or Y that is responsible for the appearance of pimples on the forehead and face. This is because each organism works in a different way.

But, generally speaking, there are 3 reasons that directly contribute to the appearance of the dreaded pimples:

Stress

The 'disease of the century' also interferes with the appearance of pimples. When we are experiencing stressful situations, the chances of pimples appearing on our face – and other reactions on our skin – are quite high.

Poor nutrition

You are what you eat! And if your diet is rich in sugar and other foods with low nutritional value, it is likely that you will have more problems with acne.

Not having a skin hygiene routine

Not prioritizing the health of your skin is also a factor that greatly influences the appearance of pimples on the forehead and face.

And if you are someone who wears makeup, you should be extra careful. This is because, when you sleep with your skin covered in makeup, the chances of pimples appearing are even greater!

In this topic, we have put together 5 great tips for those who want to avoid and get rid of these pimples when they appear!

A regular cleaning routine

A good skincare routine makes all the difference when it comes to fighting the appearance of pimples!

This way, you keep your skin clean and hydrated, which greatly reduces the appearance of those annoying pimples.

A good water-based moisturizer

Hydrate yourself! In every way!

As you may already know, staying hydrated is a great way to prevent pimples from appearing.

And this applies both to our body – through drinking the correct amount of water per day – and to the products we apply to our face!

So, when choosing a moisturizer to do the famous skincare, prioritize a water-based moisturizer! Your skin will thank you very much!

Sunscreen with oil-free formula

As we have already mentioned here, oiliness is one of the main factors that contribute to the appearance of pimples.

Therefore, it is important to choose the products you apply to your face carefully. When it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, it is recommended to opt for a sunscreen with an oil-free formula.

Recommended for oilier skin, these products are drier. This means that this formula helps protect your skin without leaving it oily!

Drying and localized products for pimples

Have you had acne? Don't despair!

The way you deal with the appearance of these pimples makes all the difference in how long they will remain on your face. 

Therefore, the best way to deal with those annoying pimples after they appear is to use drying products.

Sold in cosmetics stores and websites specializing in skin care, these products are usually applied directly to pimples and, as the name suggests, help in the drying process, shortening their 'life cycle'.

And of course: never squeeze pimples from your forehead or the rest of your face.

And last but not least: never squeeze your pimples!

In addition to running the risk of leaving marks on your face while trying, the simple act of squeezing a pimple can put your health at risk.

This is because, when you squeeze a pimple with your fingers or dirty nails, you can end up contracting a series of bacteria, which can easily enter your body through the pimple. And this can cause a huge problem for your health!
