Any Correlation Beween Oily Scalp and Oily Skin?

Hello lovelies!

I suffer from the dreaded oily scalp, as many of us do, plus my skin is oily/combination. I was wondering, is there any relationship between oily scalp and oily skin? I would love to hear what your experiences are, not only those with more oil than the Arabs (to quote one of our BH gems!), but those who may have dry skin and oily scalp, and vice versa. Lets see if we can work out a pattern here!

    I too have oily scalp and combo skin. First two days of head wash my hair are dry and then they are oily.

    Most of my face is more normal-dry but the my scalp/the roots of my hair get so oily. Only thing Ive really noticed is if I dont wash my hair and correct the oil then I’ll usually get little bumps or a pimple somewhere near my hair line.

    i think there might be. i was told to try using an anti dandruff shampoo to help with my acne (as my scalp is oily). so i started using a balancing/anti-dandruff shampoo and find my skin is looking a lot less shiny these days 🙂

    I feel your pain softness! That’s why I tried Moogoo – I’m loving it so far!

  • Yep I do! I have combo skin (oily Tzone) and have to wash everyday (unless I use dry shampoo!) so my scalp gets very oily very quickly.

    I have oily skin and a dry scalp? My hair is never oily…

    It is strange though because even though I have oily skin and oily hair for years I suffered from what I thought was dandruff, it is only now since I have found out it wasn’t actually a dry scalp it was just irritation caused from using cheap shampoo and conditioner my whole life. What I thought was dandruff was just caused from scratching my scalp all the time, so now days I still have oily skin and oily hair minus the flaking scalp, lol.

    Definitely an interesting thread! Would like to see if anyone has oily scalp/ dry skin syndrome and how they are coping! 🙂
