Dandruff Vs. Dry Scalp

Dandruff and dry scalp may share similar symptoms like flaking and itchiness, but they stem from different causes. Dry scalp results from skin irritation, leading to the shedding of light, fluffy white flakes. In contrast, dandruff is triggered by excessive oil production on the scalp, causing skin cells to accumulate and shed thicker flakes.

Both conditions are uncomfortable, but there's a solution: Revive Scalp and Body Oil. It's designed to restore balance to your scalp, whether it's dry or oily.

For a dry scalp, the key is soothing moisture. Meadowfoam, safflower, and Argan oils provide deep hydration with anti-inflammatory properties. Essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, cedarwood, and peppermint help rebalance and calm the skin.

Surprisingly, if you have an oily scalp, the best approach is not to strip it of oil but to use a clarifying shampoo and then apply oil. Yes, you read that right! Adding oil to an oily scalp helps signal the sebum glands to slow down their oil production. This process takes about 4-6 weeks, so patience is essential.

In both cases, apply a few drops evenly on the scalp and massage it in at night. Consider wearing a silk head wrap or using an old pillowcase to protect your bedding. Wash your hair in the morning to avoid looking overly slick for the day. Start with 2-3 applications per week for the first two weeks, and then reduce to 1-2 times per week for the following 4 weeks. You should notice a significant difference, with your dry scalp feeling relieved and your oily scalp gradually becoming less oily.
