PsoriaTip #8
Try using a humidifier in your bedroom at night! Extra humidity is super important, especially during the colder and drier winter months. Cold, dry weather usually means extremely dry skin, which can lead to the painful cracking/bleeding of psoriasis. A humidifier can actually help your skin stay hydrated while you sleep!
PsoriaTip #7
Stay active and get some exercise! Exercising is a great way to stay healthy and it reduces stress. You might not realize it, but exercise can help you feel better, both physically and mentally/emotionally.
More PsoriaTips Coming Soon!
It's been a while since I've posted any psoriatips because I've been so busy. But I'm going to be posting more soon! As always, feel free to send me any of your own tips that you would like to share in the meantime!
PsoriaTip #6
Get some sun! Even though summer is basically over (in the Northeastern U.S.), you can still get some UV rays from the sun. Sunlight has both UVA and UVB rays, but it’s the UVB rays that are more effective in treating psoriasis. Exposure to sunlight also activates the synthesis of Vitamin D in the skin. Both UVB rays and Vitamin D can be extremely beneficial for your skin. Just make sure to put on some sunscreen since psoriasis spots are more sensitive and more susceptible to sunburn!
PsoriaTip #5
Psoriasis doesn't make you any less beautiful. It doesn't make you ugly, or weird, or disgusting. It's just a skin condition that's not always controllable. If anything, psoriasis makes you even more beautiful and unique! Sometimes it's difficult, but try to stay positive about your skin!
After a few busy days of packing, moving and getting settled back at home, I’ll finally have some free time this week. I’ll probably continue with the psoriatips tomorrow at some point. As I mentioned earlier, if anyone else has anything psoriasis-related they would like to share (tips, encouragement, anything!), feel free to submit something!
PsoriaTip #4
Wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable. Your clothing should make you feel both physically AND emotionally comfortable. But sometimes this is hard to do. Especially during the summer when it’s extremely hot, but you don’t want to wear a t-shirt and/or shorts because of the appearance of your psoriasis. You should be able to wear anything that makes YOU comfortable, without worrying about what other people might think about your skin. It’s difficult sometimes, but your comfort is more important than the comfort of others when it comes to your skin. So don’t be afraid to wear what you want!
PsoriaTip #3
This might be a difficult one, but try to keep your stress level at a minimum. Less stress is always better for your health, so it makes sense that limiting the amount of stress in your life would also be beneficial for your skin. Try doing some of the activities that you enjoy to help keep your stress levels down!
