Dandruff: A Revealer of Our Lifestyle
Hello everybody
I am Julie Pernet, a doctor of pharmacy and certified trichologist. Today, I would like to address a topic that affects many people: dandruff. Have you ever wondered why it suddenly appears or seems to get worse at certain times? The answer often lies in our lifestyle.
Stress: A Major Trigger
Stress, omnipresent in our modern lives, can cause a series of bodily reactions, including on the scalp. When you are stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol, which disrupt the balance of the scalp and increase sebum production. This imbalance promotes the proliferation of certain yeasts responsible for dandruff, leading to an irritated scalp and unwanted white flakes.
Tobacco and alcohol: hidden enemies
Tobacco and alcohol, while they may seem unrelated to your scalp, also play a role in causing dandruff. Tobacco reduces blood circulation, preventing your scalp from receiving the nutrients it needs to stay healthy. Toxins in cigarette smoke can also exacerbate skin inflammation.
Alcohol, on the other hand, dehydrates the body and scalp, creating a breeding ground for dandruff. Excessive alcohol consumption can also disrupt hormonal balance, which, like stress, disrupts sebum production.
Diet and nutritional deficiencies
Your diet plays a crucial role. An unbalanced diet high in sugars and saturated fats can make dandruff worse. On the other hand, deficiencies in B vitamins, zinc, and essential fatty acids can deprive the scalp of the nutrients it needs to maintain its natural balance.
What to do to get a healthy scalp?
To combat dandruff, it is essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Reducing stress through relaxation techniques, quitting smoking, limiting your alcohol consumption, and adopting a balanced diet can make a real difference.
In addition to these good habits, I highly recommend thea Tricho-Pure Mud. This natural treatment eliminates impurities without attacking the scalp, while providing a pleasant sensation of freshness. Ideal for dry and oily dandruff, it works in just one month to eliminate dandruff, prevent its reappearance and soothe itching. Formulated to purify and comfort the scalp, the Tricho-Pure Mud is particularly suitable for those facing problems such as dandruff, itching, eczema, psoriasis or atopic dermatitis.
Dandruff is not just a scalp issue, it is often a reflection of our lifestyle. By taking care of your overall health and using the right treatments like Tricho-Pure Mud, you can improve not only the condition of your scalp, but also your overall well-being.
Take care of your hair,
