Moisturising Aloe Vera Gel/Cream

Use after a bath or shower on lesions – or areas where lesions can appear – always do a skin patch test first to help ensure suitability.

Take 100ml Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel OR Organic Moisturising Cream and add 10ml Vitamin E Oil, 10ml Jojoba Oil, 10ml Avocado Oil, 3 drops German Chamomile, 4 Tea Tree, 4 Patchouli, 10 Bergamot and 10 Lavender. Stir well and keep in an airtight jar.

Alkalising hydro-therapy bath

For the burning and itching of a flare up (and if the skin is not cracked) try this alkalising bath.

Regular hydrotherapy baths may make the skin condition a little worse before it begins to improve – but this can be a good indication that the detoxification process is being stimulated.

Place 1 cup cornflour, 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup oats in a pop sock and tie securely. Run a warm (not hot) bath and add your pop sock and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar to the water - squeezing the sock well!

Use this bath 5 times a week to help soothe and heal.

Moisturising bath

Once or twice weekly try this bath blend to help moisturise and soothe the skin and help you relax and unwind.

The salt and oils will also help to prevent infection if the skin is cracked.

Mix 1/2 cup Dead Sea Salt, 1 cup oats, 1 teaspoon Jojoba Oil, 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil, 2 drops German Chamomile, 4 Bergamot and 4 Lavender. Place in a pop sock and tie securely. Add to the bath once the water has run and squeeze regularly to help dissolve the salts and release the oat milk.

Stress-relieving diffuser blend

Stress can be a major trigger for psoriasis. Antidepressant and sedative essential oils can therefore be helpful.

These include Bergamot, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Melissa, Neroli, Rose, Sandalwood, Sweet Orange and Ylang Ylang.

Try diffusing the oils you most like the smell of (as these will be the ones you need), or use them in an aromatherapy inhaler if out and about.

Not sure what to use🤔🙄?

Try 3 drops Sweet Orange, 2 drops Bergamot and 2 drops Geranium!

Tips for Managing Psoriasis in Cold Weather

Psoriasis in the cold

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — or is it? The winter months can be anything but wonderful for people with moderate to severe psoriasis.

That’s because cold weather can make psoriasis symptoms worse. There are several reasons for this:

1. Cold and dry weather extracts moisture from your skin, which is already at a premium for people with psoriasis.
2. Cold weather keeps more people indoors, where heaters can dry out the skin and trigger flare-ups.
3. There’s less sunlight during the winter months. (Moderate sun exposure can help relieve symptoms.)
4. Chilling temperatures can make psoriasis in your joints, known as psoriatic arthritis, more painful.

But you don’t have to sacrifice the joys of the season by succumbing to flare-ups.

1. Moisturize

Moisturizing creams or ointments can help lock moisture into your skin, which is important during the dry winter months. The Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with psoriasis moisturize after every shower or bath.

Keeping the skin moisturized can help relieve dryness and itching. Avoid scented moisturizers and creams, and use moisturizing soaps.

2. Drink more water

Drinking more water in the winter can help to maintain moisture levels in the skin, which can help with psoriasis symptoms.

It can also help relieve inflammation in the body by helping to flush out toxins, and it can help keep joints lubricated to prevent gout.

3. Take a cold shower or bath

A brief, cold bath or shower can help relieve pain related to psoriasis.

The Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with psoriasis keep their showers at 5 minutes and baths at 15 minutes.

4. Meditate to ease stress

Stress can cause psoriasis to flare, and while meditation is not a cure for psoriasis itself, it can help to relieve stress. Stress can also trigger inflammation.

Meditation can ease stress, help reduce anxiety, and mindfulness practices related to meditation can take attention away from psoriasis symptoms, such as itch.
