Dandruff is a common issue caused by irritated, oily, dry skin and malassezia, a yeast-like fungus. Scalp health expert Selsun Blue suggests incorporating zinc into your diet, which promotes hair tissue growth and repair, regulates scalp bacteria growth, and reduces oil consumption. Modifying your shower routine, such as avoiding hot water, can help prevent inflammation and hair loss. These measures can help keep locks soft and healthy while reducing the hassle and embarrassment of dandruff.
Even massaging your scalp using a circular motion helps reduce dandruff. Shampooing with a circular scalp massage distributes shampoo evenly across the scalp, ensuring a thorough cleanse. The gentle circular motion helps exfoliate the scalp, removing dead skin cells and any dirt and oil buildup.
However, many dandruff shampoos leave your hair looking dry and lifeless, especially if it’s colored or chemically treated. It’s best to find a shampoo that is also kind to your hair—and Selsun Blue has the answer with its Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. Best used at least twice a week, this Selsun Blue offering is formulated to get rid of dandruff while protecting and retaining the moisture in the scalp and the hair for clean, soft, and revitalized locks.
Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing’s secret is its active ingredients. First is 1% Selenium Sulfide, a US FDA-approved anti-infective and anti-fungal agent used to address the root cause of dandruff. It reduces scalp itching, irritation, and redness by inhibiting the growth of the yeast responsible for the infection.
Honey Extract moisturizes hair follicles, smoothing the hair shaft and bringing back shine and luster to dry and dull hair. Its natural humectant nature also locks in moisture, preventing future moisture loss. It also includes other ingredients, such as Arginine HCL and Lysine HCL, that add to the shampoo’s conditioning properties to leave hair clean and conditioned.
Selsun Blue Pro Extra Moisturizing Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is now available in 120mL bottles and 6mL sachets at Watsons and Mercury Drug branches and online through the Mentholatum store on Lazada and Shopee.
