Seeking relief from psoriasis can be a lifelong quest. You
can search everywhere for the perfect cure and never quite find it. There are
plenty of medications, creams, pastes, gels, and lotions out there, but they
don’t always work and they can be pricy. It gets time consuming and expensive
to dab a lotion all over the body two to three times a day or take a pill every
day. Most people just want something
that is quick, simple, cheap, and works.
There are actually some things you can start doing for
yourself that might help with psoriasis and slow down the onset of another
outbreak. Things you can change around the house or personally, that don’t cost
you an extra cent.
In your home, try to find the perfect temperature. Flare-ups
can be caused by changes in the weather or temperatures in your own home. Going
from one extreme to the next is never a good thing. Slowly let your body adjust
to warmer temperatures or colder ones. Too much sweat on the body, can lead to
irritation and itching which leads to scratching which can cause skin injuries
which will lead to flare ups. Most of the time is spent at home or in the
office, so make sure you have both places set at your perfect temperature. It
can take some time to find that temperature and other people may have to adjust
to it but it will help you in the long run. Temperature control may be easier
at home than it is at work. 
Apply moisturizer often during the day. The moisturizer
should be of good quality and fragrance free. Smelly lotion, the good scents,
is a favorite among women, but it can actually irritate the skin. Avoid the
pricy fruit smelling lotions and opt for one that offers a good amount of
moisture. Always remember to lotion up after you shower or bath to help keep
that moisture locked in.
Switch to all-natural products. This means everything you
use from hand soap to makeup should be fragrant free and all natural. Look for
products that are hypoallergenic and are free and clear of irritants. Change
your laundry detergent to a free and clear type brand.
