Anti-itch

| The soothing effects of anti-itch products

The causes of itching are not always easy to identify. One of the causes is the alteration of the balance of the scalp: seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or inflammation such as folliculitis can cause flaking and lead to tension, redness and itching. Overly aggressive hair products or chemical treatments can also irritate the scalp, making it sensitive. An inflammation of the scalp can anticipate or accelerate hair loss. Other causes can be:

• lice
• stress
• sunburn
• food allergies and intolerances
• dry skin
• fungal or bacterial infections
• nutrition

Itchy scalp can be easily alleviated with the right treatments. In fact, when choosing shampoos and conditioners the aesthetic function is too often considered more important than the care, cleaning and hygiene of the scalp. As a result, it happens to choose too aggressive shampoos which cause irritation.

It is therefore advisable to pay more attention to scalp care and hygiene.
The soothing products do not act on the many causes that can lead to itching, but offer an immediate feeling of relief to the irritated scalp.
