How to Get Rid of Winter Dandruff - 3-Step Solution
Are you one of the 1 in 5 people who experience dandruff in winter? Ever wondered why it worsens in colder months?
The combination of dry air and warm indoor conditions often leads to dry scalp flaking. Add excess oils and this can cause dead cell buildup on the scalp. Enter Malassezia fungus - a healthy scalp organism that feeds on this buildup. As the buildup increases, this can lead to a Malassezia fungal overgrowth commonly known as dandruff.
Step 1: Avoid Scalp Dryness
With dry skin cells being the precursor for dandruff, tackling flaking is essential. To reduce dead cell matter, shampooing the scalp regularly is fundamental. By creating a thick foamy lather, a thorough cleanser can effectively reduce flaking and remove excess skin cells with just two washes per week. Look for natural cleansing ingredients rather than chemical-based products which can cause and worsen further dry scalp conditions.
Step 2: Reduce Excess Oil
An abundance of excess sebum on the scalp combined with dead cell matter is what makes dandruff stick to the scalp. It essentially creates a paste-like surface which leads to accumulation, discoloration and resistance to removal methods.
A PH balanced shampoo with a gentle yet effective natural formula can isolate dead cell matter from the scalp. Ingredients such as Sodium PCA will target buildup and dissolve the connection between dandruff and scalp without causing dryness and irritation.
Step 3: Tackle Malassezia Fungus
Malassezia fungus must be treated at the source. The good news is this can be achieved with natural ingredients like Climbazole, a natural anti-fungal agent which can be used daily without compromising the scalp or hair shaft.
Anti-fungal agents suppress fungal cells from multiplying and keep overgrowth from recurring when used as a maintenance treatment. Natural anti-fungal based shampoos are a gentle alternative to commercial chemical-based treatments.
Nourish Your Scalp
Once you've treated the issue at the source, it's important to create the ideal environment for your hair and scalp to thrive. Ingredients such as Sodium PCA act as hydrating agents to replenish moisture and hydrate the deeper layers of the scalp. To encourage overall hair health, ingredients such as Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein support hair strength and improve its ability to absorb and maintain moisture.
Containing a blend of Climbazole, Sodium PCA and Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Neutriderm Anti Dandruff Shampoo naturally balances excess oils and removes dead cell matter from the scalp while soothing the scalp from Malassezia overgrowth - all while nourishing the scalp and hair with hydrating and strengthening ingredients.
