Dandruff is an annoying, itchy and embarrassing skin condition that causes skin on the scalp to flake and shed, leaving tracts of white flakes on the person’s clothing and hairline. It is often caused by seborrheic dermatitis, an overproduction of oil that becomes an irritant to the body’s own skin, setting off an adverse reaction. CBD is a hot new ingredient in skincare because it targets inflammation, excess oil build up and dryness – all key problems with dandruff.
Recent studies have also shown that CBD has powerful antibacterial properties which may help break the cycle associated with the over production of oil and subsequent secondary skin problems like pimples and sores from scratching. Dandruff is also thought to be caused by stress, poor nutritional health and obesity – conditions which CBD is increasingly being used to intervene in. Sufferers of dandruff could try topical care CBD shampoos but may also benefit from rubbing pure CBD oil directly onto the scalp and ingesting it to balance the skin from within.
