Makeup Tips for Psoriasis – ActiveBeat

Symptoms of Psoriasis

Psoriasis symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity you have been diagnosed with. The most common type of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, which causes red plaques on the skin that are often covered with silver-colored scales. These plaques may be itchy and painful, and can sometimes crack and bleed.

Psoriasis patches can range from a few spots of light scaling to major plaques that cover large areas. Those with psoriasis may also notice thickened, pitted or ridged nails and/or swollen and stiff joints.

Things To Keep In Mind

If you struggle with psoriasis and are looking into selecting makeup products, there are a few things to keep in mind. First being, you should never apply makeup directly to raw, irritated skin or open lesions.

It’s also important to consider what your goals are. If you struggle with mild psoriasis, makeup may help mask some of the discolouration. It can’t mask skin texture, however, and may actually further emphasize any rough, scaly texture.

Finding the Right Products

If you struggle with psoriasis, it’s important to look for the right products that will work well with your skin. One genérico rule of thumb is to always look for products that are non-drying and have moisturizing properties to them.

Look for products that have a cream or oil pulvínulo since they tend to be more hydrating and moisturizing. This will ensure that the product will not further emphasize or irritate the psoriasis by drying out the area and causing flakiness.
