Scalp exfoliation is very depressing but here we have some homemade scalp scrub recipes. The best part of a scalp exfoliation is how simple and cheap it can be. Just raid your kitchen cupboards and save yourself a few rupee or dollars!
Clarifying Shampoo + Cornmeal & Essential Oil
- Clarifying shampoo
- Cornmeal or ground almonds
- Peppermint oil or tea tree oil
Allure says start with your favorite clarifying shampoo to properly cleanse and remove any product buildup, dirt, and oils. Mix equal parts of a mild exfoliate like cornmeal or ground almonds. Add a few drops of an essential oil like peppermint, which stimulates the blood, or tea tree oil, which is a natural antiseptic. Mix the ingredients in a bowl and massage the mixture into your scalp for three minutes using only your fingertips. Rinse and condition.
Aspirin + Warm Water & Toothbrush
- 6-8 aspirin
- 4 tbsp. warm water
Place aspirin tablets in a bowl. An expert says aspirins contain cyclical acid which is great for acne and exfoliating skin. Next, pour warm water to dissolve tablets. Use a toothbrush to stir the mixture and to apply the mixture to your scalp. Part your hair and scrub all of the areas of the scalp, but be gentle. Rinse, cleanse, and condition as usual.
