How to Treat Dry Skin: Itchy Scalp In the winter, dry skin can be found everywhere, even where we can't see it. We're talking a case of dry, itchy, winter scalp.
To treat flakiness, eczema and psoriasis of the scalp, try a scalp exfoliant. These products remove dead skin and foster cell turnover, which makes your scalp feel better and encourages healthy hair growth. Make your own by combining a tablespoon of sugar with your favorite shampoo and applying to your scalp before washing.
Other rules of thumb? Wash your hair just as much as you would in the summer, Schultz says. Even though you're less sweaty in the winter, not shampooing your hair can promote the development of dandruff, which the increases flaking and aggravates the appearance of dry skin.
Another pro tip: Wear a hat outside as often as you can. This prevents dry outdoor air and wind from further irritating your scalp.
