God, I wish this was me. I have skin issues, so I had to switch to the expensive women's shampoo, conditioner, face wash & moisturizer. I still have mild dandruff and dry skin like 5 days a week, but at least I literally do not leave patches of skin flakes everywhere I walk.
Try Mane & Tail shampoo. Pretty amazing stuff.
have you tried just like, not using anything? not saying it'll work but i figure it's always worth trying to see if the product is actually the cause of the issue
Using shampoo less is part of my routine (every 4th day or so), but I do have to wash my hair sometimes, and outside that window it gets really gross really fast.
As for my face, the dead skin and oil buildup is a big yikes even at once a day. Granted, more gentle cleanser might help, but I don't know of one that still does the job.
yeah at least in my experience you kinda have to just not use shampoo for a month before the scalp realizes and stops pumping out grease, after that period the need for shampoo is basically nil
as for the "less" bit, i more meant using a smaller amount every time, in my experience just a little goes a long way and i think the thing that causes the scalp to overreact with all the grease is that you periodically nuke all the oils completely, if you leave at least a little oil the scalp will probably calm down.
