Keeping Psoriasis in Check

The goal with psoriasis is to treat the symptoms evident on the skin's surface, give the skin the ability to heal itself and keep the symptoms of psoriasis in check. The basic building blocks for healthy skin include the necessary nutrients to sustain itself, water, and air.

If our skin lacks adequate moisture, the reaction is noticeable - the skin's surface may develop patches of dry, flaky or rough textured skin, and  you'll notice more itching. The solution is basic, quick and simple – drink water to replenish the moisture in the skin. Drink more water to hydrate from within and moisturize with jojoba oil to help seal in the moisture and prevent further loss.
