tiny bumps on forehead and chin

The tiny bumps on your skin could be closed comedones, which are clogged pores. They may not be red or itchy, indicating they're not fungal acne. The shiny appearance on your forehead could be due to excess sebum production. To address this, follow a skincare routine: cleanse with a gentle cleanser twice a day, use a chemical exfoliant (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid) a few times a week to unclog pores, moisturize with an oil-free product, and apply sunscreen daily. Keep your face clean and dry, especially after sweating, and be patient as results may take time.

definitely looks like closed comedones although i could be wrong. a simple routine and exfoliating 2 - 3x a week. for me retinol also worked very well, but with retinol you also purge. if you are using a cleansing oil/balm id suggest looking at the ingredients as some may be clogging your pores. also changing pillow cases more frequently can also help with closed comedones. products i recommend: 1. innisfree retinol cica repaire serum, it has very little retinol so it minimises irritation to the skin. 2. cosrx bha blackhead power liquid, a very gentle and moisturising exfoliator. 3. cerave sa cleanser with salycilic acid really helps with cleaning the skin and doesn’t strip the skin but enough to clean excess oil. hope this helps!

As for the shiny appearance on your forehead, oil-absorbing sheets can be a game-changer. They help to remove excess oil and reduce the shine throughout the day. Just a quick dab, and you're good to go! And it's actually a common issue, especially for people with oily skin like us. When the weather gets hot, our skin tends to produce more sebum, which can lead to clogged pores and those pesky bumps 💖

Advice from someone who used to suffer with closed comedomes and now no longer has it. Everyone’s tips on your comment section is extremely correct and helpful but I just wanted to mention that lifestyle and diet was the biggest factor I had to change to get rid of the closed comedomes. So make sure your diet does not contain too much sugar or saturated fats as that leads to inflammation and hence can lead to closed comedomes. Also make sure to get enough sleep and don’t be too stressed out. Take it from someone who’s skin went from the first pic to now (the 4th pic) :)With ilhame’s tips you’ll have clear skin in no time.🫶
