What is the best Shampoo for a sensitive scalp?
An itchy scalp can be annoying and persistent. Our Skins Experts will help you find the right Shampoo for a sensitive scalp. In this Short Story, you’ll discover which ingredients have a soothing effect and which Shampoos are effective against itching. This will help you choose the best care for your scalp with confidence.
What causes an itchy scalp?
Scalp problems can have various causes and are often triggered by an imbalance in the skin. One of the most common reasons is dryness, which leads to itching, flaking and a tight, tight feeling. This can be caused by cold weather, harsh Shampoos or a lack of moisturising ingredients.
On the other hand, overproduction of sebum can make the scalp feel greasy quickly. This may be the result of hormonal fluctuations, an unsuitable hair care routine or insufficient exfoliation, leading to a build-up of sebum and dead skin cells.
Whether you suffer from a dry or oily scalp, the right hair care routine can help to restore balance to your scalp and reduce itching.
Which shampoo is best for an itchy scalp?
If you have an itchy scalp, it’s important to choose a mild, nourishing Shampoo that restores the scalp’s balance. Avoid harsh cleansers such as sulphates and opt instead for formulas containing soothing ingredients such as oat extract, chamomile and niacinamide.
According to Skins Expert Daphne, Oribe’s Serene Scalp range is a perfect choice for anyone suffering from a sensitive scalp. Oribe’s Serene Scalp Exfoliating Scrub gently removes built-up impurities and excess sebum, whilst keeping the scalp soothed. This provides a fresh and healthy base for your hair care routine.
In addition, the Virtue Refresh range offers effective products for an oilier scalp. This range helps regulate excess sebum production, keeping your hair fresh and light for longer without drying out the scalp.

What soothes an itchy scalp?
As well as choosing the right shampoo, a complete hair care routine can help to soothe and restore the scalp. Skins Experts Daphne recommends the Ceremonia routine for this – a three-step treatment that deeply nourishes and soothes the scalp.
Step 1: Aceite de Moska – This nourishing oil deeply soothes and moisturises the scalp. Apply it for an hour or even leave it on overnight for an intensive restorative effect. This helps combat dryness, flakiness and irritation.
Step 2: Papaya Scalp Scrub – This gentle scrub, containing papaya enzymes and pink sea salt, gently removes dead skin cells and excess sebum, leaving the scalp feeling refreshed and soothed.
Step 3: Mascarilla de Guava – Finish with this intensely hydrating mask that nourishes the scalp and hair, keeping them healthy and shiny.
By following this routine regularly, you’ll keep your scalp balanced and reduce itching and irritation in an effective and natural way.Get advice from our Skins Experts, online and in our boutiques.
