Psoriasis

Body psoriasis can be a challenging skin condition to manage, but it can be done with the right skincare routine.

One of the key factors in managing body psoriasis is keeping the skin moisturised. This means using a thick, emollient moisturiser regularly to lock in moisture and prevent dryness and itching. Look for moisturisers that are specifically formulated for sensitive or dry skin, as these tend to be gentle and soothing. 

In addition to moisturising, opt for breathable, natural fabrics like cotton instead. It is also important to avoid harsh soaps and cleansers that can strip the skin of its natural oils and further dry out the skin. Instead, choose mild, fragrance-free cleansers that are gentle on the skin.

Taking care of your skin when you have body psoriasis requires a gentle and consistent approach. By keeping the skin moisturised, avoiding triggers, and managing stress levels, it is possible to minimise flare-ups and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. Always consult with a dermatologist for personalised skincare recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
