The fact that many women lose hair density as they age often leads to a problem that many women fail to anticipate until it's too late - sunburn on the scalp. Older women who notice that their hair has begun to thin should look for conditioners with sun-block in them, or else use a separate sun-block applied carefully to the scalp while the hair is wet, then dry the hair and style as desired.
Some women as they get older and enter into menopause or perhaps experience other hormonal issues find they develop adult acne and get blemishes on the scalp. Use of an astringent or anti-acne treatment that contains Salicylic Acid will help to clear up the existing blemishes and prevent others by helping to keep the pores of the scalp clean and clear of debris. In some cases, an acne cleanser can be used on the scalp before shampooing, but make sure to rinse thoroughly.
Note: It is important to know that acne treatment products using benzoil peroxide are not recommended for use on the scalp (especially if you have color-treated hair) as benzoil peroxide can lighten the hair.
