Product of the Month

No, my 'XYZ of the Month' posts are not going to become a regular thing.... yet.  I've just happened to come across a second product in October which I am thoroughly appreciating - Original Source Mint and Tea Tree shampoo! 

Sure, it's not the first minty shampoo on the market and it's not the first minty shampoo I've used but something about this particular one... I'm liking a lot.

You see, I have skin which is easily irritable :(  I have a daily moisturising regime (time consuming but necessary) and I use certain products to minimise skin flaking, which consequently minimises ezcema episodes.  Dermatologists are a nice bunch, but I don't really want to see them too often.

I've never really fussed too much about the scalp/skin on my head.  No matter what shampoo I used, my scalp would eventually start flaking to the point that I found it essential to periodically switch to using Head & Shoulders or some other anti-dandruff shampoo.  I tried using baby shampoo and that was great but .... it's baby shampoo and I want to use adult stuff!  I also realised that Herbal Essences and Garnier products make my scalp itch as soon as I crack open the bottle.  I'm not keen on using tar shampoo (bleah!) or anti-dandruff shampoo daily.  That just sucks.

Smee had used the mint shower gel previously and was keen on trying the shampoo.  I do like the minty smell so I tried it on my own hair.... and I really liked it!  My scalp felt really clean and better still, no itchiness has developed for past few weeks!  I can throw away those anti-dandruff bottles!  I think it might be the tea-tree.

I like this shampoo so much I would recommend it to anyone who has flaky scalp issues.  At £2 a bottle, it costs less than most of the sandwiches at Pret and I have seen it on sale for £1 at Boots.  I think I might start stockpiling it! :D
