Even with unlimited resources, multiple dermatologists, and her mom's skincare line GOOP, Apple Martin still has acne.
She thinks it's from stress, but I think it's from her hair products - here's why:
Breakouts on the forehead and temples, but nowhere else on the face, almost always mean there's something in your hair products causing it.
Another clue? The pores on the forehead "shut down" after about the age of 18, when acne typically starts migrating down your face to the cheeks and jawline.
When I see forehead breakouts on someone older than 18 or 19, it's caused by something topical. In Apple's case though, if it were from her skincare or makeup, she'd be breaking out all over her face, not just her forehead.
