St. Ives Apricot scrub...

Does this stuff smell great? It SOUNDS fragrant. It would be fun to use just for the scent.

I currenty rotate with Nivea for Men Face Wash, Neutrogena Men's Face Wash, and regular Dove soap. All three keep my dome clean as a whistle. On a side note... at times I use the Dove soap as a "shave cream" on my head shaves and it works perfect. O0

Indeed. I use Burt's Bees peach and willowbark scrub, and my scalp feels GREAT afterwards. I would swear it almost tingles. ;)

I wouldn't doubt that is drying your skin a bit... I would say try something more natural/with less chemicals, or at least a good moisturizer after using the Nivea face wash. Good tips above, either way!
Good luck in your search!

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on May 31, 2012, 09:27:42 AM: There are mild, non-drying soaps out there without excess oil to clog up the follicles. I use Cuticura. I also use a loofah pad everyday in the shower to exfoliate and remove any accumulations of oil and other scalp secretions that build up everyday.

Post by: waine on June 05, 2012, 11:33:57 PM: If your scalp is flaking, I would discontinue the ordinary soap and use good quality pure glycerine soap. The plain commercial soap may be drying out your skin. Exfoliate with a good quality product every other day, not every day as this will be too harsh. Moisturise after your shave and again during the day.
