To prevent and/or alleviate dry skin/scalp and banish flakes simply... A) Scoop out a few spoonfuls of the coconut oil and place in a small heat safe bowl B) Heat until it returns to oil form C) WAIT for it to cool for at least a few minutes (test with finger first) D) Apply to skin or directly to scalp and massage in, and E) Leave in for at least a half an hour or for best results keep in overnight (Don't forget to wash it out of your hair before you leave the house in the morning though, as it does tend to look really greasy!)
If you're having a severe dandruff issue and the coconut oil alone isn't strong enough for you, you can try adding tea tree oil and olive oil to the mix, and if that doesn't work try taking a zinc supplement as it is very likely that the problem you're experiencing may be caused by a vitamin deficiency. Whatever you do, DO NOT use chemical products on your hair or scalp anymore, including Head & Shoulders and like dandruff shampoos, not only do they contain phthalates, but they can actually create MORE flakes once you stop using them!
Unrefined coconut oil is proven to be the best relief for dry skin and scalp. Among many other health benefits, it also protects against free radicals and diminishes wrinkles better than any lotion can! So beat the itchy wintry skin this year, and from now on with this natural home-made solution and may snow be the only flakes you see!
