These Popular Skincare Ingredients Will Transform Your Hair Care Routine, Too
Skincare and hair care have more similarities than you might think. The ingredients that make your skin glow can also bring life to your locks. Components like hyaluronic acid, retinol, and squalene are just a few skincare miracle-workers that also help boost most-loved haircare products. Moreover, ingredients like apple cider vinegar, shea butter, and jojoba oil are beneficial for the skin while also being common additives to various shampoos and conditioners.
These potent ingredients are often responsible for scalp health and overall hair hydration. It is easy to neglect the fact that your sensitive scalp needs the same attention as your skin. If the pores on your head become clogged with product buildup, your hair will show the negative consequences. Products that consciously include skincare ingredients will ensure that your scalp remains impurity-free. Learn more about each powerful ingredient and how they can help your hair with this round-up of nourishing hair products.
