Could Wiping The Forehead Skin With Isopropyl Alcohol Be Proaging?

To keep the hairline undetectable one has to often clean the dirt with isopropyl alcohol or reattach the front only (
). While doing that the forehead skin also gets a lot isopropyl alcohol on it. Could that cause premature aging of the forehead skin due to the dryness it causes and skin cell death?

What do you think of this study saying that alcohol induces cell death in skin cells?

Also when you Google "isopropyl alcohol on skin" you will only see results that say it's very bad and pro-aging, but they are all about acne which is not our case.

Has anyone noticed any abnormal changes in the character of their forehead skin, any more wrinkles and lines, compared to skin in other parts of the face? Aging that shouldn't have happened that quick?

I've started using hand disinfectant with aloe to prevent this, but unfortunately it's not effective enough. I would like to continue using isopropyl alcohol.

Thank you!
