    Ring of death in my Haverford is getting bigger so I’m going to buy that Saponificio I’ve been thinking about. Considering the 70th anniversary scent cause people seem to have good things to say about it. Any other recs folks? I’m thinking something floral, citrusy or awuatic since spring and summer are coming.

    Believe it or not my approach for a while has been to have one or two main soaps I use, a couple more to keep around for variety, and strictly one out, one in. A while ago I decided I don’t want to accumulate an endless supply of soaps that I’ll never get through. I do have quite a few fragrances around though but I’ve slowed down on those and pretty much have the variety I’m looking for.

    Yes I take a 30 mg oral supplement daily (if I remember!). 40 is the max recommended according to some sources, though many brands I see in the store come in 50 mg. Zinc is antifungal, and fungus is the root cause of dandruff in a lot of cases. Note that one of the most common ingredients in dandruff shampoo is pyrthione zinc. I read about taking zinc somewhere, tried it, and it’s working well for me. If you look around on reddit communities for seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) it works for some people but not everyone, which is the same for any treatments, so it’s as worth a try as anything. For me it has been great and I don’t have to really worry about other treatments, but I keep around some dandruff shampoo for when I get a flare up (usually when I forget the supplement a couple days). Before I took zinc I’d have to rotate different types of dandruff shampoo every few days.

    Alright I decided to add another field, mostly to help myself remember my zinc supplement! I probably only remember about 60% of the time. If you ever have flakes on your scalp or face give it a try. Helps prevent fungus that can be the root cause. I haven’t had to use dandruff shampoo regularly since I started taking zinc, usually only need to when I forget my zinc multiple days.
