psoriasis
is a chronic, genetic, non contagious skin disorder that appears
in many different forms and can affect any part of the body,
including the nails and scalp. your skin has special needs and
is usually sensitive. specific treatment and medications should
be obtained from your dermatologist.
Cleanse every morning and night to remove dirt,
oil, and makeup.
Exfoliate
to remove dead skin cells to reveal fresh,
vibrant skin and stimulate your complexion, but limit this to 1-2
times a week to prevent excessive irritation.
Tone your skin to tighten pores and remove any
traces of cleanser or other residue.
Moisturize in the morning and night to protect and hydrate your skin.
Sun Block will protect for your skin during the day.
Seasonal Care for Psoriasis-Prone Skin
it is expected that your skin experience slight changes throughout each season.
Winter
is typically the skin’s driest season, due to decreasing humidity,
cold temperatures and increased time spent indoors with dehydrating
heating systems. apply richer, creamier moisturizers to the face and
body at this time to help maintain the skin’s healthy hydration levels.
consider using a humidifier at home and at the office to add moisture
to the air. alternate lightweight, water-based products with richer,
nourishing formulas.
Spring is when the skin is ready to shed layers of dead, flaky
patches, so exfoliation will be a top priority. as the season progresses,
you can shift to lighter cleansers and moisturizers in preparation
for the warm months ahead.
Summer usually means increased outdoor activity and sun exposure.
protect your skin with sun block and moisturizers with SPF during
the daytime every day. oil-free products are a smart choice to avoid
shiny, oily skin and clogged pores. remember, 80% of sun damage occurs
in the first 18 years of life!
Fall is a cool, refreshing transition from summer to winter
and requires all the essential skin care basics -- protection
from the sun with sun block, replenishing hydration and exfoliation.
