So we're super versed in skincare for the face and the body but what about one of the largest bits of skin on your body? Nope, I'm not talking about my butt (LAWL), I'm talking about my scalp!

Yup, the scalp - possibly the least glamorous bit of skin. I bet you never thought about scalp care other than the occasional bottle of Head & Shoulders right? But do you ever get an itchy scalp when you sweat? Or does your scalp get a bit dry when it's windy?

 Complete OVER-share coming up here but I would get a really prickly scalp every time I went out out - I always put it down to the boozing and bad lifestyle choices (read: McDonalds and Prosecco) but I've since realised that the irritation was a direct result of the product build up on my scalp.

A Skincare Routine For The One Bit Of Skin You've NOT Thought About

Nothing signals natural beauty like smooth, glowing, even skin. But even skintone can be hard to achieve in this world. The stress of 'living it large' or even just your day job can trigger acne, inflammation and spots. And exposure to the sun without sunscreen (even in this grey cloudy weather!) leaves skin open to UV damage, permanent dark marks and other irregular blemishes.
I don't know about you guys but every time I get a spot, a dark mark gets left behind once the spot has gone. Its like the inconsiderate pimple has been camping on my face and then left a patch of mud and debris there upon departure.  And the grass doesn't grow back for ages, so I'm left with a dark mark for months! Do any of you get this too??
This darkening of the skin occurs more frequently in asian, arabic and darker skin types and is known as hyperpigmentation. 
Here's the science part... Hyper Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces too much melanin (the coloured pigment in hair and skin) This often occurs after some sort of trauma - like spots, skin damage, medication or UV exposure - and the over-production of melanin darkens the area.
