Head & Shoulders, along with BlogHer, asked me to review the Eucalyptus Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care. I have dry skin anyway, but in the winter it gets crazy. For some reason, this year I have the pleasure of having a dry scalp. Misery, I tell ya. I was shocked as I turned to friends and twitter for advice, at just how many people deal with the same issue. It can be ridiculously embarrassing to have, especially when your fave wardrobe color is black.
The folks at Head & Shoulders sent me the advanced formula shampoo and conditioner. I have used Head & Shoulders before, but this one has the added benefit of eucalyptus, which I love.
Head & Shoulders collection of soothing products promises to ease three scalp and dandruff problems: dryness, itchiness and sensitivity. With 84% of surveyed scalp issue sufferers concerned about these issues, Head & Shoulders has combined the effectiveness of their HydraZinc formula to alleviate these conditions, leaving your hair beautifully flake free.
Beyond leaving behind a clean scalp, the foundation for great looking hair, Head & Shoulders’ new collection goes one step further to excite and indulge your senses with fresh, naturally inspired fragrances including almond oil, eucalyptus and aloe vera.
I have used both the shampoo and conditioner for one week and have seen a noticeable decrease in itchiness. I’ve been leaving it on for a couple minutes while I bathe, and it makes my scalp all tingly. A total feel good tingly, not like my head was on fire. It has helped decrease a flaky scalp, and my hair has been super silky. That was one thing I was not expecting, at all, out of a dandruff shampoo.
The only negative? I broke the top right off the bottle of conditioner. Now, I’m not putting this past user error at all, but I seem to have this problem a lot with the bottles that sit upside down on the lids. I need to come up with some idea to make the bottles blogger proof. Hehe.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the new Head & Shoulders. This is definitely a product that I will continue to buy and use, especially in the winter!

I'd love to enter. In the winter, I add a facial moisturizer. I battle oily skin so in the summer I usually go without. Although as I age this is starting to change. I also use more lip balm in the winter. Just reminded myself I need to pick some up!
In the winter I have a hard time with itchy, dry skin. I switch to a moisturing body wash and generally use some sort of anti-itch lotion on my legs.

EVERY winter I add a lotion session morning and night. Dry skin is THE WORST!

In the winter I have to be diligent with moisturizing and lip balm, otherwise I end up scaly like a reptile.

I use more chapstick, usually the Blistex brand (only the best. 🙂 & I wash my hair less often. I condition it but since I don't sweat and see it get oily as fast, I take advantage.
i use way more lotion!

I use shea butter on my hands every day and extra moisturizer on my face too in the winter
My hair feels drier in winter, and flat from wearing hats..Wash my hair and use a deep conditioner in the winter more than I do in the summer.
Hardly ever wear eyeshadow during the summer, when winter hits I start wearing again
I change my nail polish a bit and wear more glittery golds, green, or reds for the Holidays.

After purchasing expensive shapoos for my Son's itchy scalp I finally brought this and the problem has been resolved. This thing works.
For me, it's all about moisturizers: face, boy, elbows, etc.
I love my Shea butter coconut cream!
I use more moisturizer and exfoliate more often
adrianecoros(at)gmail(dot)com
Vaseline. Yep, plain old Vaseline is a great way to keep lips, hair, skin and face moisturized as temps drop. During the winter I tend to use more Vaseline.
tclarkusa at gmail dot com
Ugh, dry skin is the worst and especially in the Winter months. I always use facial moisturizer and extra lotion (typically shea butter because it always works wonders for dry/itchy skin.) But not to mention, I love reading through these comments to see what others are using to get new tips!

i use conditioner more often
I use more lotion in the winter for sure. Also, I stick to more neutral tones on the eyes and face in the winter than in the spring or summer.
I definitely use more lotion in the winter, and thicker lotion (if that makes sense).
I apply a lot more body lotion in the winter months! Usually daily when I get out of the shower.

I use anti-dandruff shampoo much more often in the winter.

I use more lotion and lip balm – and sometimes don't shower as often (shh – don't tell anyone!)
The only change I really make is using a humidifier. If I don't use a humidifier in the winter, my forehead gets crazy flaky/peely and no amount of lotion or cream or oil
will rehydrate it. But as long as I sleep with my humidifier going, all is right in the forehead world! LOL
