Removing dirt, moisturizing, and adding shine are all part of "skincare."

If the scalp, which is the foundation from which hair grows, is dirty or clogged, hair can lose its elasticity, become oily, and develop dandruff. To prevent such scalp problems, it is important to first cleanse the scalp at night, then moisturize it, and finally "condition the scalp" to give it shine.

As the first step in scalp care, Kuzuya chose, "The most important thing is to keep the scalp clean and healthy. vertueux shampoo soap thoroughly removes dirt from deep within the pores of the scalp, making the scalp and hair as a whole healthy."

"This shampoo soap is a bar soap, but it's mildly alkaline thanks to the careful processing involved. Just as facial cleansing ingredients cleanse the pores on your face, it removes dirt from your scalp. Apply it directly to your scalp and wash your entire head. One bar will last for about two months," they explain.

One of the appealing aspects of Aesop is that you can choose a conditioner that suits your hair type.

"For those with oily scalps that tend to feel greasy, I recommend Aesop 's EQ Shampoo. EQ Shampoo removes excess sebum and gives hair body and shine. Its natural fragrance is also very popular," says Kuzuya.

Aesop shampoos and conditioners are characterized by their ability to be chosen according to your hair condition. If you want to wash your hair with EQ shampoo and then maintain its body, we recommend combining it with VM conditioner. If you color your hair, we recommend CP conditioner. Furthermore, if you want to keep your hair healthy by moisturizing your scalp, choose CL conditioner, and if you are concerned about dryness or breakage, choose NT conditioner.

"Many couples and married couples use the same shampoo, but choose their own conditioner. The appeal is that you can start with a small 200ml size and then step up to 500ml if your hair condition improves."

EQ Shampoo is ideal for those with oily scalps. Formulated with eucalyptus leaf oil (a skin conditioning agent) that provides a mild tightening sensation, it gently cleanses the scalp by removing dirt and excess sebum. In addition, mistletoe leaf extract (a skin conditioning agent) helps maintain a healthy scalp.

Just like applying a beauty serum, moisturize your scalp and hair too!
