5 Skincare Ingredients That Soothe Psoriasis Symptoms

how to soothe psoriasis

Sometimes you can’t even trust the label when buying a moisturizer. Although the label claims otherwise, several “extra-moisturizing” lotions can leave skin feeling oily and parched. Doctors recommend using a moisturizer for psoriasis that can go down into the dermis and help repair the dry, flaky skin that characterizes this condition. Find one by reading the label carefully and learning to recognize the active components.

Pyrithione Zinc

Pyrithione zinc, which is a component of the mineral pyrithione, is often used in anti-dandruff shampoos and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of psoriasis plaques in various regions of the body.

Austin dermatologist Adam Mamelak, M.D., says it “is meant to assist in the regulation of the process by which skin cells form and function. It also contains anti-proliferation properties, which means that it stops scaly regions from expanding and functions as an agent that peels dead skin cells off the surface of the skin.”

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid, like pyrithione zinc, is “a keratolytic component,” which means it aids in the removal of dead, scaly skin cells, as explained by Zain Husain, M.D., founder of the New Jersey Dermatology and Aesthetics Center in Marlboro.

Getting rid of these dead skin cells has several benefits, including making the face smoother and allowing moisturizers to penetrate deeper.

Although this beta hydroxy acid is most often used to treat acne, it has also been shown to be quite efficient in calming down psoriasis flare-ups, according to physicians. 

Aloe Vera

Psoriasis is something that aloe vera may be used to treat, despite the fact that it is most often used to treat sunburns.

After eight weeks of drinking aloe vera, 64% of people with psoriasis noted improvements in their skin condition, as stated by the conclusions of a research study that comprised more than 2,000 participants.
