All the same, conditioner can help moisturize your scalp and ease some of the uncomfortable dryness and itching. Just like you do if you have dry skin on your face and body, look for gentle products and soothing ingredients. “Think of your scalp as an extension to the skin on your face and look for ingredients that you would use on your body or face if you had dry skin.” Specific ingredients Dr Khorana says to prioritise are essential fatty acids like omega-3, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, colloidal oatmeal, panthenol (vitamin B5), glycerin and ceramides. This is completely different to dandruff, which requires ingredients like selenium sulphide, sulphur, zinc, piroctone olamine and salicylic acid to treat.
