The Skin Nerd: Dandruff? Itchy scalp? Get yourself a hair care routine
Skin Nerd: The beauty sector is going to great lengths to help us take care of our hair and scalp.
The intersection between hair care and skincare, depending on how you look at it, has either become much murkier or much more defined in the last few years. Our scalp is made up of skin – it has the same layers as the rest of our skin: a protective stratum corneum, all of the other four layers of the epidermis, and the underlying dermis and hypodermis.Â
It produces sebum – too much, in the case of some of us – and it sheds skin cells. Unlike each hair, our scalp is very much alive and what we apply topically and feed ourselves internally defines the health of our scalp and the health of our hair.
