Statistically, almost 50% of the population faces the phenomenon of dry skin or dandruff.

In the professional hair care industry, there are many companies that have designed specialized scalp care products with the aim of combating these phenomena. The important thing is to understand the problem and find the right products that will meet our needs, to improve the condition of our scalp and hair.

To achieve this, we have gathered important information to effectively treat dry skin and dandruff!

What are their differences?

These are two diseases, which have common characteristics but differ in their causes and symptoms. According to research, during the months of spring and autumn, there is a sharp increase in both phenomena.

In particular, during these seasons, changes in temperature and an increase in the variety of allergens in the environment can worsen the skin condition in some people. This can lead to irritation and an increase in the production of respected cells on the scalp, causing the appearance of dry skin or dandruff.

General:

In the appearance of dry skin white flakes, dryness, itching or redness of the scalp are observed. Dry skin is distinguished by the smaller size of the flakes, the irritation of the scalp, while the oiliness is absent. Its causes include heredity, hormonal imbalances, air pollution and severe stress.

In the appearance of dandruff white flakes are observed, which are comparatively large in size, greasy and often accompanied by itching. These flakes represent dead cells from the scalp, which are shed earlier than the normal 28-day period due to an acceleration of the exfoliation process. The main reason this happens is the overproduction of the microorganism Malassezia, a yeast that is part of the skin's normal flora.

Which types are more susceptible?

Those of you who belong to the category of sensitive scalp, with a reduced ph index are more likely to manifest the symptoms of dry skin than dandruff, as it is usually associated with reduced skin hydration and a weakened hydrolipidic film.

The ph index is an important factor, so when it is disturbed and not at normal levels, dry skin can be even more evident. This is because the skin cannot retain its normal moisture, making it more vulnerable to irritation.

How can we deal with these phenomena?

To treat dry skin:

1. Enrich your hair care routine with care products that are friendly to the scalp. Experts recommend shampoos that do not contain harsh cleaning agents, such as Sodium Laureth (SLS) or Ammonium Laureth, and of course the use of a moisturizing conditioner that will maintain the hair's natural moisture.

In addition, you can also try the scalp massage with natural oils, for greater nourishment and

boosting hair health.

2. Avoid daily bathing and create a consistent schedule so that there is balance and you don't resort to excesses. When bathing, use lukewarm water instead of very hot water so that the natural oils are not removed.

3. Limit the use of heat styling tools that can dry out the skin and hair.

4. Pay the necessary attention to the nutrition part, consuming fresh fruits and vegetables that contain carbohydrates and vitamins that strengthen the health of the skin, while of course you will be fully hydrated.

To treat dandruff :

1. Use specialized shampoos that contain ingredients that can help fight it, such as zinc, ketoconazole or selenium.

2. Make sure you rinse your hair thoroughly. Product residue can irritate the scalp and make it worse.

3. A diet rich in zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins B and E can contribute to skin health and help reduce symptoms.

In the event that you are unable to treat dry skin and dandruff with the products available on the market or with the above tips, then it would be a good idea to visit a dermatologist.

He will examine you to check if there is any deeper underlying cause and then offer you specialist advice and appropriate treatment.
