Imenov, the scalp of the hair is born, where he receives all the necessary and nutritious substances, and of course depends on her condition, how the hair will look.
Hence it follows that the scalp is the primary source of health and beauty of our hair. It is for this very reason that the skin of the head needs the same careful care as the face and body.
Sensitivity. What is it?
According to statistics, about 80% of representatives of low-lobe face such problem as hypersensitivity of the skin, in need of delicate care. Such skin is especially susceptible to the effects of any irritating factors - both external and internal.
Changes in temperature, wind, adverse environmental conditions, dry air from air conditioners - all this can cause dehydration, discomfort and poor skin condition. Thus, we notice that it is the loss of moisture that leads to the stratification of particles of the epidermis and, as a result, there is a feeling of dryness, irritation and peeling. And the scalp is not an exception.
Careful care for the sensitive skin of the head
