I don't play much in the natural face-care world – my skin's on the sensitive side and tends to sting with some formulas, so I'm careful. But I do have a some synthetic-free favourites that I enjoy enough to re-purchase time and again. ✨ 🍃 @consonantlife #HydrExtreme is a staple in my regimen, especially in colder months. A powerful humectant blend, it’s just two plant-based ingredients, glycerin and polysaccharides, that attract and hold onto water. 🍃 This @lanolips All-Over salve is a #prsample, but I've been through several (purchased) tubes of #Lano's Original 101 Ointment Multipurpose #Superbalm, a simple formula of lanolin (attracts and holds onto water as well) and lanolin oil. Love it on lips, but mostly as a moisturizer topper, even under makeup, in icy weather. #winterskinsaver 🍃 @burtsbees #AntiBlemish Spot Treatment is all about the willow bark, a natural source of salicylic acid. It gently speeds the eviction of my occasional breakouts without ravaging skin. 🍃 @BiteBeauty’s 99% natural #AgaveLipMask is my holy-grail lip-balm texture, probably because it's mostly lanolin. My favourite is the Champagne shade, but I use and purchase the original the most. 🍃 Had to include #BiteBeauty’s limited-edition #AmuseBouche #Virgo lipstick, my favourite in the brand's Astrology series. This "grapey-red" is amaaaaazing, and my #zodiacsign too. #prsample 🍃 @RMSBeauty's #LivingLuminizer is my faaaaaaave highlighter because it looks so wonderfully natural on skin. I'm also in love with this beautiful #Lip2Cheek in Beloved; it delivers a youthful, healthy flush on cheeks and pretty sheen on lips. ✨ More somewhere recent at imabeautygeek.com.

Dry Scalp Treatment - Superbalm Scalp Treatment by Lush

My husband suffers from a dry, itchy and flaky scalp so we're always on the lookout for serums or balms that may help alleviate it. We went to LUSH yesterday and I spotted their Superbalm Scalp Treatment and decided to splurge for it (it costs $19.95 for 1.5oz). LUSH is notoriously expensive so we only buy things that we think may be unique products. 

Dandruff can cause your scalp to be itchy and if you continuously scratch it vigorously, you can cause damage to your skin and follicles, so it's important to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated. Although this product seems small, it actually is quite a large amount considering how thick and richly moisturizing it is. You only need an extremely small, less than pea-sized amount to cover your whole scalp. You are meant to rub it into your scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes before showering, I presume this is because your hair can get greasy and it has a strong peppermint scent. This product seems to produce the best results when used daily.

The rationale for the ingredients used in this product, according to the website are as follows:

Chamomile blue oil: soothes irritated scalp, causes the blue tint of the balm

Lavender oil: has relaxing, soothing and cleansing qualities

Salicylic acid: active ingredient that treats skin/scalp and psoriasis to shed dead cells from the top layer by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that makes the cells clump together, thereby decreasing scaling and dryness

Rose wax & essential oils: has natural and soothing properties which soothe very dry skin, it is very lipid rich and hydrates skin cells

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: can reduce symptoms associated with psoriasis, eczema and helps restore natural balance to the skin - has softening properties due to the extra virgin oil used as a binder

Candelilla wax: substitute to beeswax, acts as a moisture barrier and enhance formula texture

Other ingredients are used for fragrance

So far my husband really likes this product, I think the smell can be considered strong but as long as you're using it at night, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I'm happy that this is a mostly-natural product with salicylic acid being the active treatment ingredient. If you suffer from a dry scalp you should give this product a try, it has a very high positive response from customers and one container should last you 2-3 months (so if you break it down, it doesn't seem that expensive). 

Let me know if you have any other experiences with this or similar products.

Would you say lullaby is particularly moisturizing? I have really dry hair but also a very dry, itchy scalp that gets eczema patches. I'm also vegan so the only conditioners I can use are hhjj or jungle, so I need a pretty rich shampoo

I just started using it and I personally don’t find it as moisturizing as I thought it would be.  I’d look into Brazilliant, and Superbalm as a treatment for your eczema
