DIY Itchy Scalp & Dandruff Treatment

As Spring approaches my skin has been very irritable especially my scalp. I have found two natural remedies that really help.

What you will need for Remedy #1:
Mini Spray bottle
Tea tree oil
Saline

In a clean spray bottle drip 10 drops of tea tree oil. Add 100 mL of saline. Shake well and spray on affected scalp areas and massage. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse.

You can also use tea tree oil in your daily shampoo. 1 tbsp of shampoo to 5 drops of tea tree oil. Work up a lather and massage scalp for at least 10 minutes.

What you need for Remedy #2:
Mini spray bottle
Apple cider vinegar

In a clean spray bottle place 50 mL of apple cider vinegar. Spray on affected scalp area. Massage scalp for 5-10 minutes. Leave in hair for 30 minutes and rinse with water.

I hope these remedies work for you too.

Happy Blogging and Stay Chic :)

Beauty Review: Alba Botanica Natural Acnedote Face & Body Scrub

Maximum strength, oil free, fights breakouts even after you rinse, has 2% salicylic acid acne medication naturally formulated with willow bark extract.

I use this scrub every other day to treat my acne, this scrub smells fabulous, it has a minty feeling when applied. The 227g or 8oz tube was a steal at $6.99 and this product is comparable to some expensive brands, but less expensive, less drying and it smells better too.

It helps buff away the dead skin formed over my dried up spots that create dry patches if not exfoliated. At first my skin broke out with some mini whiteheads as it wasn't used to the scrubbing and boosting of circulation in the facial area.

After a week, my skin is brighter and more dewy than oily, I can get away with just wearing tinted moisturizer and minimal concealer to cover up my hyper pigmentation scars from acne. I find this scrub does help fade my scars slowly but effectively used in conjunction with my Lush Grease Lightning tea tree cleanser as a spot treatment.

Overall I rate this product 4 out of 5. And I will definitely repurchase this item when it runs out.
