Using Zinc to Control Your Dandruff
One of the more embarrassing things that can happen to us is for us to have a bad case of dandruff. Dandruff can happen for a number of different reasons but some of the most common are because we are dealing with a dry scalp or because we have an oily scalp. Either of these conditions can cause the skin to flake and peel off, causing an unsightly embarrassment. It may even flake off on to our clothing which can cause additional embarrassment. What can be done if we are dealing with this problem?
One of the ways that people commonly get rid of this problem is by using a medicated shampoo. These line the shelves of the supermarkets and drugstore aisles in the hair care area. Although these may be able to treat the dandruff to a certain extent, they rarely ever get to the root of what is the actual problem. Not only that, they may cause a number of different side effects that can actually damage your health. So out of a problem that is not dangerous, you may end up with something dangerous as a result.
One way for you to overcome this problem is to use a natural cure in order to overcome your dandruff. Although there are a number of different natural cures that are available to help you with dandruff, one that is often overlooked is zinc. This mineral is something that is lacking in many of us on a regular basis and it is extremely important in order to regulate the skin. A lack of zinc in our system may actually be the culprit behind our dandruff. Since skin without this mineral can either be oily or dry, it is easy to see how it could be to blame.
Adding sink into your diet through supplementation and eating the right foods is an excellent way for you to overcome a problem with dandruff. You may also want to try getting a little bit of liquid zinc into the natural shampoo that you are using. Medicated shampoos often use this mineral but they do it in conjunction with chemicals that may be dangerous to your health.
Doing this for a couple of weeks should make a marked improvement in the amount of dandruff that you're experiencing. The best thing about it is that it is natural, not causing any health problems for us at all.
