Why (and how) you should take care of your scalp

How many steps are in your skincare regime? We’re betting there’s a cleanser, maybe a toner, a serum infused with actives like retinol – perhaps even a few skin acids to exfoliate, alongside a night cream.

But what about your poor old scalp? After all, it’s skin too isn’t it?  Yet it’s an area we tend to overlook, normally being covered by our hair – who really cares if it’s not looking its best, usually no one can see it, right? However, just like the skin on our face, the scalp ages too which can lead to dull, thinning hair and – in the worse care scenario – hair loss. Plus, if you’ve ever experienced the discomfort of dryness, flakiness or an itchy scalp, then you’ll know that the scalp needs as much care and attention and everywhere else on our body.

Take it from the experts. Our resident Consultant Dermatologist Sue Ann Chan gets to the root of the matter. “I advise my patients to care for their scalp in the same way as they care for the skin on their face. Too often the scalp gets neglected which can lead to a dull appearance in the hair in general. That’s why regular cleansing, hydration and exfoliation of the scalp are so important.”

Covid 19

 

The Health and Safety Executive is carrying out spot checks and inspections on all types of businesses in all areas to ensure they are COVID-secure.
 

We are making calls so we can give expert advice on how to manage the risks and protect workers, customers and visitors. We are also working closely with local authorities, assisting them in the sectors they regulate such as hospitality and retail. By calling and visiting premises and speaking directly to employers, we can check the measures they've put in place are in line with government guidance.

Inspectors will make COVID-secure checks as part of their normal role in visiting workplaces during the pandemic. To ensure we reach as many workplaces as possible nationally and support the core work of our inspectors, we are working with trained and approved partners to deliver the spot check calls and visits.

We just started promoting a Mother's Day Gift set  for £99 (RRP £155).


The gift set includes our shampoo and conditioner (ranked top by Good Housekeeping a few weeks ago as the 'Best Anti-breakage shampoo & conditioner) and our Nourish and Stimulate Scalp Mask (winner of 'Best Hair Treatment' in 2021 by Top Sante). It also includes our silk face mask (which Cosmopolitan highlighted as one of the best silk face masks on the market!). Copy and images below:

Give your mum or mother figure the gold star treatment with this exquisite capsule kit to kick-start her MONPURE journey. It’s probably been a while since she was last able to visit a salon, so this mask, shampoo and conditioner trio will create that professional-level finish at home and make her feel like a million dollars. It also includes a pink Silk Face Mask, to help her navigate the pandemic in style and comfort.

Treat any mother to a home-salon experience, with this root-boosting gift set from MONPURE. This trio of products will help her achieve stronger, longer, lustrous locks from the very get-go of the growth stage – together with a professional-level shine.

When it comes to healthy hair growth, so many things can throw a spanner in the works, from stress and illness, to pregnancy and menopause. Add harsh shampoo or colourants into the mix, and you have the perfect storm for hair loss, stunted growth and frail, thinning strands. This gorgeous gift set is the perfect way to reinvigorate flagging follicles and nourish the scalp, for healthy, shiny hair (and thicker fuller hair at that).

This is the perfect me-time treat for any mothers and mother-figures who you know and love.

What's included?

Our Strengthening Silk Protein Shampoo is ultra gentle, and devoid of drying sulphates – instead using a coconut-derived cleansing agent and hydrating aloe vera to thoroughly cleanse the scalp and hair without leaving both parched in the process. And unlike regular conditioners, our Strengthening Essence-Conditioner is free from silicones and boasts a light, milky texture to imbue hair with hydration without leaving it looking flat or greasy.

Our Nourish and Stimulate Scalp Mask isn’t just a super relaxing in-shower treat, but the perfect way to jump-start flagging hair follicles. It contains camellia tea oil, which is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids to deliver an intense hit of nourishment to neglected scalps. (Once applied, you’ll feel a tingle so you’ll know it’s working its magic!).

Working to keep germs and viruses at bay, MONPURE’s double-sided Silk Face Mask not only looks stylish, but is made from 100% mulberry silk that won’t irritate sensitive skin. It features adjustable elastic ear loops and nose wire, so it will sit comfortably – and not awkwardly – on your face. (This mask is also perfect for those who wear glasses, fitting snugly underneath your frames.)

Take Care of Your Skin This Autumn

We hope that everyone is ok during the current challenges. One of the nice things that we can do at the moment is to take time for ourselves. As the temperature drops and the days get shorter, it's good to assess your regime and give your skin some extra care.

If you are using Nakin's face products, then you are already giving your skin amazing hydration and nourishment with our special cleansers, creams and treatments filled with the best plant extracts. A change in season is always a good time to assess how we are using products, to make sure we get the best out of them. Read our advice below to keep skin soft, hydrated and glowing this autumn.

Cleansing

A kind cleanser is essential when the temperature drops and our Advanced Cleansing Milk is brilliant, even if your skin is sensitive or reddened. It removes make-up and daily dirt morning and evening, while being kind and without stripping skin. Follow with our Purifying Face Toner to remove the last traces of cleanser, revive and detox skin. 

Eye Care

Many of us start to feel run down in autumn, and this often shows in the eye area. Our amazing Eye Cream Complex gives the skin around eyes silky soft hydration and combats dark circles, wrinkles and puffing.

Skin Treatments

Skin treatments like oils and serums can really improve your skin barrier, making it stronger and less susceptible to changes in the environment. In autumn we recommend adding a face oil to your routine, especially if your skin feels dry or tight in any way. Our Revitalising Face Oil is one of the best natural face oils available, as it contains skin enhancing plant oils that hydrate, calm, condition and energise skin. We also have our Anti-Ageing Face Serum which is one of the best serums available to help with a multitude of skin requirements like hydration, lines, wrinkles, UV damage and an uneven skin tone.

Moisturising

Ramping up hydration in the colder months is always a good idea, but this does not necessarily mean using a really thick cream, as these can often just sit on the surface of the face and neck. The best face creams will sink in beautifully and last all day long to hydrate and protect skin morning and evening. Our Matt Formula Face Cream is a moisturiser for oily, normal, combination and sensitive skin. The Active Dew Face Cream is for dry, normal, combination and sensitive skin.

Lip Care

One of the biggest things affected by the change of weather is our lips. Our Lip Treatment Balm is perfect to nourish lips deep down, even when they are very dry and cracked. This is because it is full of luxurious butters and oils to soften, hydrate and comfort.

Some New Faces to Introduce

Our adorable pups Cooper, Coco, and Willow have been available on the Sponsor a Puppy scheme since May. All three are doing wonderfully – they’ve spent the last few months with their puppy walkers, learning the essential skills they will need once qualified and partnered with their owners. As we wish them luck on the next stage of their journey, they will be available until 31st August 2020, and we’re excited to soon introduce three new pups for sponsorship…

About our pups...Ginger is the first new puppy available to sponsor. She is a lovely golden retriever, who loves exploring the outdoors and dinnertime with her siblings. Handsome Marley is a gorgeous black Labrador, who adores snoozes and snuggling his big cuddly teddy bear. Curious Sprout is an adorable golden retriever cross, who loves investigating new smells and making friends with fellow pups. With your help, these sponsorship pups will develop from bouncy, six-week-old bundles of fur into fully-qualified guide dogs, giving someone with sight loss the freedom and independence they deserve.
