The Dandruff Solution

Dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis, is a common inflammatory skin condition resulting in flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp.

Causes and Risk Factors
Dandruff is thought to be mainly caused by over production of oils in the skin, sever moisture loss, dead skin layer build up and inflammation from yeast called malassezia. In comparison, dry scalp is mainly caused by sever moisture loss, and inflammation.

Oily skin invites microbial growth in skin pores leading to an immune response. Inflammation develops when the immune system response cascades out of control. Chronic inflammation is very detrimental to health as a whole and shows first and foremost on the skin. 

Stress, fatigue, weather extremes and lotions containing alcohol, hot water, and over-washing can increase the risk of developing dandruff or dry scalp. 

Treatment

The treatment of dandruff and dry scalp is very simple - Reduce inflammation, fight microbial infection, reduce oil production, return the skin's natural moisture balance, and remove the dead skin layer. 

Personal Story
I was suffering from dandruff and began experimenting with TreSkinRX products. I thought to myself, "If these products are so good for the skin, why wouldn't they work on dandruff?" As it turns out, I was right. My dandruff cleared up rather quickly. I treated dandruff as any other skin condition - I started using the Purifying Cleanser as a shampoo / conditioner (which is fantastic by the way); I exfoliated the area with EX3; I moisturized with the body moisturizer. Once my dandruff subsided I switched to using the EX3 and the moisturizer as needed, but continue to use the Purifying Cleanser as a shampoo / conditioner. 

Follow these easy steps to clear up dandruff or dry scalp once and for all:

1. Cleanse the scalp with the Purifying Cleanser (Used as a shampoo / conditioner)

• Reduces inflammation
• Fights microbes
• Rejuvenates the skin
• Improves hair health
• Improves hair follicle moisture retention
• Removes dirt and debris from the scalp

2. Exfoliate with EX3

• Removes dead skin layer (Flaky skin is a big problem with dandruff)
• Fights microbes
• Reduces oil production
• Reduces inflammation
• Activates production of new skin cells
• Increases collagen and elastin production

3. Moisturize (Wait 10 minutes after exfoliating to apply)

• Reduces inflammation

By using TreSkinRX products in this way, a complete assault on dandruff or dry scalp can be made by fighting the main causes of the skin condition.
