The Best New Treatments (And Tips) For Psoriasis

Reduce Exposure to Cold, Dry Air

The cold, dry air of winter can lead to skin dryness and irritation. This can exacerbate psoriasis symptoms. Exposure to indoor heating can further dry out the skin, making symptoms even more severe. It is important for people with psoriasis to take steps to protect their skin during the winter months. This can include using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, moisturizing regularly with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion, and avoiding hot showers or baths which can dry out the skin further. It may also be helpful to wear protective clothing such as gloves and scarves to prevent skin exposure to cold air.
