I?ve been trying to be diligent about giving my skin some TLC this winter, which usually means lathering on oils, serums, lotions and anything that promises to moisturize my tired, dry skin. As usual, it didn?t even occur to me to give my scalp some love until I was getting dolled up for a cocktail event in Chicago a few weeks back. There?s nothing like an LBD to give you a wakeup call about the flaky state of your scalp, and I unfortunately realized the latter when I looked in the mirror on the way out the door.

I immediately changed into a colorful dress and vowed to find a shampoo and conditioner that would give my scalp some much deserved attention. I wanted to find a solution that would kick winter dryness to the curb while smelling great and not causing any icky, greasy build-up. Fairly reasonable requests, but not that easy to find when perusing the drugstore beauty aisle. I came across CLEAR Complete Scalp Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner which seemed to fit all my qualifications: not only is CLEAR clinically proven to eliminate dandruff symptoms but it?s formulated with vitamins and nutrients to restore hair health as well (I?ve always avoided dandruff products in the past because so often they treat the scalp while ignoring the hair?hello!).
