Why Your Scalp Needs a Facial

 


We take care of our complexion when it feels a little unhealthy, so why do we so often ignore our scalp, which is just an extension of the skin on our face?  

If your scalp is displaying any of the below issues and symptoms, it could be in serious need of a little TLC. Luckily, we’ve got some perfect products that can help to soothe and treat your scalp, to help it feel happier and healthier.

 

 

Irritation

Can’t stop touching or scratching your scalp? An irritated scalp is not uncommon. It is often your scalp trying to tell you that something – usually a product - is aggravating it, so it might be worth mixing your hair care routine up. We recommend trying out our scalp solutions balancing shampoo and our scalp solutions replenishing conditioner, which are expertly designed to improve the health of your scalp. 

If your irritation has lasted for more than three months or is still lingering when you have changed your hair care products, it could be a scalp condition (anything from dandruff to psoriasis) in which case it is important to seek help from a professional.

Sunburn

We all know that sunburn is incredibly bad for our skin, however we often neglect protecting our scalp from UV rays. When the scalp gets sunburned, the protective oils and cellular structure of the scalp is damaged, which could cause the hair follicles to switch from the growth stage to the shedding stage and can increase the chances of hair loss. To stop this, remember to use SPF on your scalp and/or shield it from the sun with a hat. You can also try our sun care protective hair veil – a water-resistant UV defense hair mist that forms an invisible screen to help protect hair from sun exposure to minimise damage and dryness.

 

Redness

 

Redness on your scalp can be caused by more than sunburn. Redness can be caused by a reaction to a product or ingredient, trauma from excessive heat styling, or a hairstyle that is causing too much tension at the hair follicle. Try laying off the styling for a while and being gentler with your hair and, if necessary, change your hair care products to identify the problem. Our scalp solutions overnight renewal serum soothes your scalp to reduce redness and irritation. 

If redness on the scalp is accompanied by inflammation and other visible symptoms (such as scaly skin) then it could be due to a skin condition, so talk to a medical professional to get further guidance.

 

Hair Loss

 

Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. But if you notice trails of hair around your home, your workstation, in your car, then it might be something that needs addressing. Hair loss can be caused by a wide range of things, such as genetics, stress, ageing, nutrient deficiency, illness, sun damage, and more. If you believe your hair loss and thinning to be caused by breakage and damage, then we have the perfect solution. Our invati advanced system instantly thickens the look of hair and helps you keep the hair you have for longer. 

If you are consistently struggling with hair thinning or are noticing a pattern of hair loss, consult with a dermatologist or doctor.

Oiliness

Having an oily scalp every now and again isn’t a real issue. A little bit of oil is actually a good thing – sebum helps to protect and support healthy hair. However, too much oil can leave your hair feeling greasy and dirty. Luckily, we have the ideal solution. Introducing the scalp solutions exfoliating scalp treatment, which instantly removes oil, product buildup and surface pollution, without disrupting the scalp barrier.

An oily scalp accompanied by other unusual symptoms could be a sign of a skin disorder, so contact your doctor if you are concerned.

Dryness

If you are struggling with a dry scalp and need a scalp hydration boost, it could be due to things such as over-washing your hair, extreme or cold weather, washing hair with very hot water or using the wrong hair products. We recommend trying our scalp solutions replenishing conditioner – this dry scalp treatment hydrates and replenishes dry hair and scalp for a refreshed feeling. 

A consistently dry scalp may be due to conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. In this case, it’s best to see your doctor to ask for appropriate treatments.
