Suffering with dandruff can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. These days there are many products on the market which claim to clear up dandruff and for some people, they work. But for the majority, it clears up for a short time, then quickly returns, sometimes worse than ever! The main reason for this recurrance is because the main problem (bacteria) is not being dealt with the dandruff problem effectively.At this time of the year, while we are moving into winter, dandruff seems to worsen. One of the most effective products that I've found to help with dandruff is Nioxin's Cleanser and ScalpTherapy. The cleanser works at exfoliating off the build up of skin cells (flakes) and clearing the scalp of any other build-up ingredients that could be in regular shampoo products or styling products. After cleansing, you then apply Scalp Therapy in much the same way as a conditioner but also working it through to the scalp. Leave this on for one to three minutes and then rinse off. While the Scalp Therapy is on the scalp, you will feel a hot/cold, tingling sensation. This is due to the peppermint oil and balm mint found in this product. Why are these products so effective? It is because the Scalp Therapy is antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant. Bacteria, fungi and toxins are found on the skin and scalp daily. If there is a build-up on the scalp, these nasties are usually present and are adding to the problem. Simply by countering this situation the scalp has a better chance to perform in a healthier way. One thing to be aware of however, is to acknowledge that the dandruff problem in most cases will get worse before it gets better. The reason for this is simple. Scalp Therapy is working to "evict" the bacteria from their "home" and they are working hard to stay. If this is the case for you, I suggest that you use the Scalp Therapy as an ointment, outside of the times that you are using it in the showering process. Scalp Therapy is very soothing and helps to reduce the itching and redness cuased by dandruff . Both the Cleanser and the Scalp Therapy are totally natural, plant sourced products that are safe to use on any age group.
