Here’s why scalp care is touted as the new skincare

L’Oreal Professional’s Scalp Advanced range addresses a host of scalp issues, making it a must-have addition to your hair care routine.

Skincare has taken centre stage in most of our lives in the past couple of years. We go to great lengths to keep it looking plump and youthful—from following a 12-step skincare routine to masking, exfoliating, and jade-rolling, we do it all. But the skin is not just the face; it goes beyond it and extends up to the scalp. 

And this fact changes the way we should treat our scalp, which has more sweat glands and hair follicles compared to the layer of skin on the rest of the body. It only makes sense then that we give our scalp a similar, if not the same, TLC that we give our skin and go beyond the regular washing and conditioning.

Understanding the scalp

Your scalp is all the area between the hairlines, starting from the forehead and going back to the end of the head. The average human scalp has around 100,000 hair follicles. It produces sebum to lubricate the follicles and prevent dryness and irritation. The scalp is also a physical barrier to protect the skull from trauma and infection. And if not cared for, it will cause a slew of hair concerns like dry hair, greasy roots, hair thinning, and hair loss, among others.

To address these and other scalp concerns, L’Oreal Professional Paris has introduced its first professional scalp care range with the expertise of pros and dermatologists. The range consists of six scalp care products that target specific concerns like scalp discomfort, oiliness, dandruff, and hair thinning.

Skinifying the scalp

If you wish to have a healthy scalp and lustrous hair, then it is about time to skinify the scalp. And these L’Oreal Professional products will help you achieve just that. For instance, the 2-in-1 shampoo and mask deep purifier will cleanse the build-up(sweat, shampoo residue, excess sebum particles, dirt and grime, etc.)without stripping off the natural oils. The Dermo-regulator shampoo, packed with niacinamide, gently cleanses, soothes, and relaxes sensitive scalp. Lastly, the Lipid Shield will help with protecting the scalp, reducing scalp discomfort, itching, stinging and burning sensations.

L’Oreal has revolutionised scalp care with these 4 treatments:

1.    Anti-Discomfort: You are bound to witness +83% soothing in one use. The Lipid shield soothes the scalp by forming a thick layer of lipids. 
2.    Anti-Oiliness: It offers -78% less sebum in one use. It takes away the buildup of oil, sweat, and residue, resulting in a refreshed scalp.
