Why adding a scalp scrub is essential to your haircare routine

You already know the benefits of using a body scrub once or twice a week to remove dead skin calls and build-up of impurities, but here’s why you should also add a scalp scrub to your weekly haircare routine.

Just like the body scrubs you use to exfoliate your arms and legs, scalp scrubs remove excess oil, product build-up, dirt and dead skin cells that inevitably can be found at the root of your hair.

When oil and sebum production, which maintains the health of your hair and skin, builds up to excess, shampoo may not be enough to clean it all away. That’s where a gentle exfoliant comes in.

Used regularly scrubs can help reduce potential irritation and dandruff caused by excess oil and a healthy scalp means healthy hair.

But your scalp calls for extra special care, using products that are specifically chosen for this delicate area and won’t leave your skin feeling red and inflamed.

Try these from Natura Siberica, a natural beauty brand that uses herb and flower extracts from Siberia to create gorgeous products that look great in your bathroom.

And they couldnt be easier to use – simply apply a small amount to your hand and gently massage in. Then use your favourite shampoo and conditioner as normal.
