Dry Scalp Treatment - Superbalm Scalp Treatment by Lush

My husband suffers from a dry, itchy and flaky scalp so we're always on the lookout for serums or balms that may help alleviate it. We went to LUSH yesterday and I spotted their Superbalm Scalp Treatment and decided to splurge for it (it costs $19.95 for 1.5oz). LUSH is notoriously expensive so we only buy things that we think may be unique products. 

Dandruff can cause your scalp to be itchy and if you continuously scratch it vigorously, you can cause damage to your skin and follicles, so it's important to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated. Although this product seems small, it actually is quite a large amount considering how thick and richly moisturizing it is. You only need an extremely small, less than pea-sized amount to cover your whole scalp. You are meant to rub it into your scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes before showering, I presume this is because your hair can get greasy and it has a strong peppermint scent. This product seems to produce the best results when used daily.



The rationale for the ingredients used in this product, according to the website are as follows:

Chamomile blue oil: soothes irritated scalp, causes the blue tint of the balm
Lavender oil: has relaxing, soothing and cleansing qualities
Salicylic acid: active ingredient that treats skin/scalp and psoriasis to shed dead cells from the top layer by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that makes the cells clump together, thereby decreasing scaling and dryness
Rose wax & essential oils: has natural and soothing properties which soothe very dry skin, it is very lipid rich and hydrates skin cells
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: can reduce symptoms associated with psoriasis, eczema and helps restore natural balance to the skin - has softening properties due to the extra virgin oil used as a binder
Candelilla wax: substitute to beeswax, acts as a moisture barrier and enhance formula texture

Other ingredients are used for fragrance

So far my husband really likes this product, I think the smell can be considered strong but as long as you're using it at night, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I'm happy that this is a mostly-natural product with salicylic acid being the active treatment ingredient. If you suffer from a dry scalp you should give this product a try, it has a very high positive response from customers and one container should last you 2-3 months (so if you break it down, it doesn't seem that expensive). 

Let me know if you have any other experiences with this or similar products.

Yes to Carrots is having a $2 on EVERYTHING Sale! Get your code here!

Yes To Carrots Logo

If you've never tried a product from the Yes to... brand, I really urge you to go to their website (http://www.yestocarrots.com/) and have a look-see at their goodies! Their products are totally natural and I know most of us are all about being beautiful and healthy at the same time. This is a wonderful opportunity to give this brand a whirl since they've decided to re-do their Cyber Monday sale because the website traffic was so insane many people didn't manage to put their orders through.

To get your $2 on ANY PRODUCTS (max. 2 of each product can be ordered) click here

My absolute favorite line is their Yes to blueberries line which is actually for mature skin but I figure you can never really start early enough trying to prevent wrinkles, so even though I'm in my late 20's, I use it! I also absolutely LOVE the scent!


Here is a handy chart to find out which of their product line (or lines) is best suited for your skin beautifying needs! Though I do have to tell you that the wipes that they make in every line are phenomenal so you can't go wrong with any of them!
