What Is Facial Dandruff?
The cause, Batra says, is the “overgrowth of yeast that lives on the skin.”
This yeast is normal and always present on the skin.
“Avoid bars that containcocoa butter, which can trigger acne breakouts in some people.
To do this, try an anti-dandruff shampoo like Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Dandruff Shampoo.
“A good maintenance option is using an over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo with zinc or selenium as a face wash.
It can be left on for five minutes before rinsing off about two to three times per week.”

“Its a creamySLS-freecleanser paired with micro-jojobaspheres that efficiently exfoliate the skin while imparting hydration and moisture.”
“Symptoms may be worsened by weather extremes, especially during cold seasons,” Lortscher says.
“Other aggravating factors may include stress, hormonal changes, or illness.”
Sobelman suggests avoiding any harsh ingredients, specifically Sodium Laurel Sulphate.
She says that this ingredient “strips the skin of the oils meant to protect its surface.”
Also, avoid using retinol products as those tend to contain harsh ingredients.
