There are many solutions for scaly and flaking scalp. The common "turn to" solutions are anti-flake shampoos, medicines, ointments and creams to name a few. But what do you do when you do not like those options? Perhaps you may not like them because they dry the hair out, or they seem a tad bit too toxic or you are just not in the mood to run out and buy some more. Never fear, the blogger hair junkie is here!
The easiest and quickest solution is directly across from you living room by way of your kitchen! Yep, all you have to do is open the fridge, grab a lemon, walk over to your cabinet and pull out that bag of brown sugar. Yes, that one. The one you haven't used since last Thanksgiving to make those cookies! You can also add a dash of olive oil to make the application process a lot easier.

I know; nothing taste better that lemon drizzled humans topped with a little sugar! While tasting good is not the objective; looking good is! If your skin , like your scalp, has a tendency to be dry, scaly, discolored, blemished or just plain ol' dull looking, a "lemon sugar scrub" is the answer as well. If you find that the chemical solution of fancy facial cleansers, scrubs and automatic brushes are too abrasive; again, the "lemon sugar scrub is a great alternative!"
How can the "lemon sugar scrub" be good for both your scalp and your face/skin. Easy. There is this naturally occurring acid in sugar called "glycolic acid." In lemons, the active ingredients are vitamin c and salicylic acid. Vitamin C is known for it's super anti-oxidant properties. Anti-oxidants are all about anti aging. Glycolic and salicylic acid are about exfoliating and moisturizing. Exfoliating helps to clean skin of blemishes. It also prevents the skin from clogging which promotes unwanted acne. Lastly glycolic and salicylic acid helps keep the scalp and skin looking young by sloughing off dead skin cells thus helping to regenerate new skin cells that results in glowing younger looking skin.

Understand that your skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin is part of your excretory system. Your body rids itself of toxins through the skin by way of sweating, scaling at the scalp and so on. Therefore, keeping it cleaned is imperative. The skin and scalp naturally sloughs off old skin cells as the body naturally generates new skin. The old skin needs to be removed. Regular cleansing with a face cloth and your hands does not have the ability to remove scaly skin and flaking scalps that may have become thick, sticky and difficult to wash off.
The goal in skin and scalp care is rejuvenation, protection and moisturizing. Instead of going to the local pharmacy and skin care counter to address your scalp and skin problems; walk out your living room right into your kitchen and get to mixing. This solution is safe and great for the entire family. Be careful not to get the lemon juice into your eyes or if you have a cut on your skin somewhere it will tingle.
Cleanse scalp, body and face first to ensure dirt, make up and other environmental debris are off the scalp, face, feet and the rest of your body. To make the lemon scalp & body scrub, you will need a small bow. Next, roll the lemon around on a hard surface a few times to make it soft. Afterwards, cut the lemon in half and squeeze it. Next add the brown sugar until you get the consistency of a loose paste. Scoop with your fingers and in a circular motion, firmly massage your scalp, face, feet, legs, arms or entire body. Add one lemon as you go along as to not make too much. You DO NOT need to follow up with soapy wash. Simply rinse in warm water and slather on your favorite oil.
The lemons and sugar scrub provide a natural, safe and effective solution at an affordable cost that is easy to make and effective.
Now stand back and lick ya-self!
