Dandruff is not limited to hair alone; you can find its side effects on your skin as well. Since your face is next to the scalp, it gets affected a lot. You get dandruff spread across your eyebrows and eyelashes as well in the form of flakes. These dry skin flakes are said to be facial dandruff, as it is just the extension of hair dandruff. People who have dandruff are more likely to have pimples on their face especially in the forehead area.
