Skin Care for Psoriasis
Here are some helpful skin care tips to help heal and soothe, and not irritate Psoriasis (from a dermatologist). As you may or may not know, moisturizing is key for Psoriasis. If the skin drys out too much, or if the skin gets injured, Psoriasis can more easily begin. Our tips:
- If you have Psoriasis, moisturize your skin at least one or two times per day. This Cetaphil fragrance free lotion is what we recommend.
- After each shower, moisturize within 5 minutes to lock in moisture.
- Rather than use harsh soaps for the skin, use mild soap or cleanser. This Dr. Bronner Castile soap is excellent.
Another option is this excellent Adovia dead sea mud soap.
- If possible don't take more than one bath or shower per day. This is to prevent dry skin.
