self care practices

Self-care practices like cleaning your face and brushing your teeth may easily be included in your routine. Others may become a welcome break—and you only have to start with a few minutes daily. Never forget the importance of having faith in oneself. You are the greatest judge of your own requirements.

Care for yourself first by remembering the basics while dealing with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: Set regular hours, stock up on healthy meals, and schedule in time for pursuits that leave you feeling well physically and mentally.
