Lifestyle
Moisturising / Emollients
for Psoriasis
Applying thick, fragrance-free emollients (creams, ointments) liberally and frequently to reduce scaling, itching and skin barrier disruption.
How it works
Emollients restore the disrupted skin barrier in psoriasis, reducing transepidermal water loss, softening scales and reducing the inflammation triggered by a dry, compromised barrier.
What to watch for
Apply immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. Ointments are more effective than lotions. Avoid fragranced products which can irritate psoriatic skin.
