Hi, I'm new to this community and I must say I feel kind of relieved to know that there's a place on the internet where I can be more open about my acne condition. This said, lets get to the point of the topic.
I work daily on my motorcycle, as a 'delivery-boy' so to speak but sadly, in my country, it's illegal to drive your motorcycle without a helmet (which in my opinion is pretty dumb.. because the only one you're putting at risk by driving without a helmet is yourself.)
So, I inherited from my parents an pretty oily skin, which with the prolonged hours of being under a helmet and intense heat, it becomes the perfect growing spot for acne.
I'm out of ideas on how to fix this. I can't quit my job, and I can't stop wearing that %#!@&#!!$@&! helmet. Hopefully there's someone in this fine community who has been through this and can give me a good piece of advice.
Thanks a lot !
Yea I hear you man. I played baseball and football, among other sports, for at least 15 years of my life. Wearing hats and helmets always gave me problems, and there's not a ton you can do about it because the contact and heat is kind of unavoidable.
A few things can help though. I don't know how you have your hair, but if you take your hand and push your bangs back off your forehard before you put on the helmet it will help a little. Also, after work you should take a dry cloth and wipe down the inside of the helmet, this will make it dry quicker and take away any excess moisture in the helmet, which over time can make it dirty/moist and more apt to give you acne.
And I'd carry a hankerchief or towel in your bag/pocket when you got work. That way every now and then you can dab/blot/wipe/wash your face if you have the time or feel the need to.
Too much moisture and heat is the enemy here lol, so if you can air out you helmet and head and keep your forehead moderatly dry, it should help a little.

Thanks for the reply! My helmet can be "striped out" of its interior cover, so I try to take it out and clean it with a glycerin soap as many times as I can, though it wears it out. Good idea to carry a hankerchief in my pocket, it's extremely annoying when I have to put my helmet on with my face all sweaty. Hopefuly that'll make a change.
Thanks again.
