How to get rid of dandruff naturally with a natural anti-dandruff shampoo

 

Dandruff is a troublesome and often embarrassing condition suffered by millions of people. However although treatment may appear straightforward in the form of anti-dandruff shampoos – in fact the causes of dandruff are more complex and may require different treatments depending on the cause. In this blog we will give you tips on how to get rid of dandruff naturally with Skin Shop’s Hydrosil Dry Scalp Shampoo.

 

What causes dandruff?

 

Some dandruff is caused by fungus, in which case most OTC anti-dandruff shampoos contain an antifungal agent and so should be effective. However some dandruff is caused by a dry scalp and using anti-dandruff shampoo could actually make the dandruff worse! So if dandruff does not respond to normal anti dandruff shampoos –it is highly likely to be dry scalp dandruff – in which case alternative treatments need to be sought.

Skin Shop’s Hydrosil Dry Scalp Shampoo

 

Our Hydrosil Dry Scalp Shampoo has been formulated by one of the UK’s leading trichologists and is designed specifically to help people with dry scalp dandruff. The new shampoo contains three ingredients designed to cleanse the scalp and clear skin flakes much like normal anti-dandruff shampoos without causing additional drying to the scalp caused by ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) which is a harsh foaming agent present in most OTC anti-dandruff shampoos and resorcinol, which can cause inflammation to already highly sensitive dry scalps. 

 

What are the Natural Key Ingredients in Hydrosil Dry Scalp Shampoo?

 

Hydrosil dry scalp shampoo contains three ingredients designed to cleanse and restore moisture to the scalp and clear skin flakes without causing additional drying to the scalp.

 

Pure Honey

 

Pure honey has been used as this is a natural moisturiser for the hair and scalp tissues. Moisturisation is important as the composition of sebum (the skin’s natural oil and moisturising agent) can be affected resulting in a drying of the scalp, the honey will help to counter this dryness without the danger of an adverse reaction. 

 

Sugar Beet

 

Sugar beet is used as a mild natural foaming agent. Unlike the foaming agents in conventional anti-dandruff shampoos, this ingredient will not cause irritation on sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. In addition to the anti-flaking ingredients in the shampoo, the shampoo’s Ph balance is 6, which is very close to the skin’s natural Ph of 5. Most OTC anti-dandruff dry scalp shampoos have a very high Ph to help kill the dandruff fungus, but this high Ph is too harsh for dry scalp dandruff and can actually make the flaking worse. 

 

Cardiospermum 

 

Cardiospermum (botanical term Cardiospermum halicacabum), has been used due to its widespread reputation for its anti-inflammatory and dermatological effect. This vine extract from Sri Lanka is also known to help relieve dry, itchy skin including eczema and dermatitis.
