Intensive Treatment for a Dry Scalp and Expert Tips

Moisture Sandwich Method for Intensive Treatment of a Dry Scalp

The moisture sandwich is an intensive moisturizing treatment method for dry skin. The idea is to apply moisturizing products immediately after cleansing, before the skin has a chance to dry. Moist skin is more receptive to cosmetic products, allowing you to get the most out of your skincare routine. Follow the 3-second rule with the moisture sandwich technique for maximum effectiveness.

Steps:

  1. Exfoliation: Use a scalp exfoliating serum or clay mask once a week.
  2. Moisturizing Shampoo: Apply a moisturizing shampoo after the exfoliation and rinse it out.
  3. Mask and Treatment Serum: Use a moisturizing hair mask in the sauna or apply a scalp treatment serum immediately after washing.

Step 1: Start with Scalp Exfoliation

Choose an exfoliating product that suits your scalp type:

  • Clay Mask: Ideal for scalp exfoliation for those with psoriasis, flaky, or oily scalps, as it absorbs excess oil and impurities.
  • Enzyme Exfoliating Serum: Excellent for normal and dry scalps, providing gentle exfoliation without drying the skin.
  • Mechanical Exfoliating Mask: A great choice for maintaining the health of a normal scalp through regular use.

Step 3: Apply a Moisturizing Mask

After shampooing, apply the Nutriactive Mask to the hair and scalp. Leave it on for 5–10 minutes, or use it in the sauna with a damp towel to enhance moisture and soothe the scalp.

Step 4: Finish with a Scalp Treatment Serum

After the shower, while the scalp is still damp, apply a scalp treatment serum, such as Balancer or a soothing treatment.

  • Balancer: A hydrating and balancing serum.
  • Soothing Treatment: Ideal for very dry scalps, it reduces irritation and helps maintain moisture balance.
