PSORIASIS
Characteristics of psoriasis
Red, raised skin patches : Psoriasis often causes red, inflamed skin patches that are raised above normal skin.
Flaking : The affected skin areas flake intensely, resulting in a build-up of dry, dead skin cells that flake off. These flakes are often white or silvery in color.
Itching and pain : Psoriasis patches can be itchy and painful, which can cause significant discomfort.
Dry and cracked skin : The skin around psoriasis patches may be dry and cracked, which can lead to bleeding and further irritation.
Psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body, but is most common on the scalp, elbows and knees, and the lower back.
OUR ADVICE
Hydrate regularly
Use a moisturizer daily to keep skin hydrated and reduce flaking.
Use mild cleaning products
Choose gentle, pH neutral cleansers to minimize irritation.
No irritating and drying products
Avoid products with strong fragrances, alcohol, perfume and harsh chemicals that can irritate and dry out the skin.
Avoid scratching or rubbing
Avoid scratching, rubbing or rough towels that can damage the skin and aggravate inflammation.
Avoid heat
Hot water can dry out the skin and cause irritation.
No smoking
In addition to all kinds of other disadvantages, smoking also has a bad effect on your skin and worsens psoriasis.
Our advice, for your body
With psoriasis it is essential to gently cleanse the skin and thoroughly moisturize it. Use a gentle, pH-neutral soap without alcohol, sulphates or perfumes to prevent dehydration. Daily hydration is crucial for extra skin support. Apply a moisturizer and add a nourishing oil to your bath water.
The Body Care Trio contains a body wash, body butter and body scrub, three essential products to cleanse and nourish your skin.
TIP : Add a few spoons of the body scrub to your bath water and let it dissolve into a soft, richly nourishing oil.
