Pre-Shampoo Deep Scalp Cleansing Step
A scalp scrub is a specialized exfoliating treatment designed for use before shampooing. It physically buffs away stubborn buildup and pore-clogging residue that regular shampoo can't reach, using mineral salt particles. By clearing the scalp's surface, it helps your shampoo and tonic absorb more effectively.
Once or Twice a Week in Your Evening Routine
Rather than daily use, we recommend incorporating this into your evening cleansing routine 1–2 times per week. If your scalp tends to be oily or shows visible flaking, use it twice weekly. For dry or sensitive scalps, once a week is ideal. Evening application gives your scalp time to settle and recover overnight.
Direct Application with the Precision Tip
Thoroughly wet your scalp and hair with lukewarm water, then use the pointed tube tip to apply the scrub directly onto your scalp in sections. Gently massage with your fingertips in circular motions—the Andean lake salt particles will lift away dead skin cells as you work. Cover your crown, sides, and back of the head, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Tailored Routines by Scalp Concern
- Flaky, oily scalp: Follow up with a clarifying shampoo for a double-cleanse that leaves pores truly clear
- Scalp showing signs of thinning: After cleansing, apply a scalp tonic to nourish the roots
- Dry, sensitive scalp: Pair the scrub with a gentle shampoo, and apply conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends
Precautions
Avoid use if you have cuts, irritation, or inflammation on your scalp. This formula contains BHA, which helps dissolve pore buildup, so over-scrubbing may cause sensitivity—keep your touch light and gentle. If itching or redness persists after use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight after opening.
