6 skincare ingredients that are good for your hair
It's true – the ingredients that make your skin glow can also benefit your hair. There is a new focus on the scalp , and hero ingredients such as collagen, peptides, aloe, caffeine, and vitamin C can help promote scalp health and overall hair hydration.
Most shampoos have started adding shea butter and various oils to their products, to ensure optimum nourishment of your hair and scalp.You know vitamin C as the brightening ingredient that gives you radiant skin. Used on hair, it protects against environmental factors. That’s right: this superstar ingredient isn’t just for your skin.
How does it work? Tiny balls of oil called micelles are suspended in water, and these help to absorb dirt and oils. Benefits of micellar water include deep cleansing without over-drying, plus purifying the scalp and promoting hair health. Collagen is the key to youthful skin, and is also an important part of our hair structure. It has excellent moisturising benefits that are helpful for dry scalp, as well as strengthening and softening brittle hair. Free-radical damage to colour-producing cells may fast-track greying to some extent, but collagen can act as an antioxidant, fighting this damage and slowing down the greying process.
Chemical exfoliants such as AHA and BHA are beneficial when it comes to reducing flakes and preventing clogged follicles. Good exfoliants to look out for include citric and salicylic acids.For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
