SCALP EXFOLIATION

Is it for everyone, why is it worth doing, and how does it work? 

Every day we use face and body exfoliators, which are an essential part of skincare. Fortunately, scalp exfoliation is becoming increasingly popular too. Fortunately, because it is truly essential for keeping both skin and hair healthy.

Highly recommended for everyone who cares about mindful skincare.

Scalp exfoliation is designed to cleanse the skin of impurities and leftover cosmetic residue and to remove dead skin from the outer, horny layer. An essential part of it is a gentle massage, which improves blood circulation, oxygenates the hair follicles and makes it easier for them to absorb nourishing ingredients.

What else does regular exfoliation give you?

• lifts the hair at the roots
• soothes irritation
• speeds up hair growth
• makes hair grease up more slowly
• strengthens hair and increases its shine
• helps fight dandruff

However, for it to deliver the expected results, it should be done regularly and gently. Ideally once a week, but as with any skincare routine, the key is observation and adjusting the frequency to your needs.

There are already quite a few exfoliators on the market, of which we can distinguish three basic types:

• mechanical – remove dead skin by rubbing with tiny granules
• enzymatic – don’t require rubbing and are excellent at removing dead skin
• acid-based – contain no granules and instead use the action of acids.

To sum up, when using face and body exfoliators, don’t skip your scalp. Cosmetic residue that builds up on it disrupts its normal functioning, which can ultimately lead to hair and skin problems.
