Managing Eczema and Psoriasis

Nearly 50,000,000 Americans suffer from Eczema or Psoriasis and 10’s of millions more have sensitive skin.  All those conditions can have an adverse effect on your life.

Psoriasis is a common, chronic, genetic, systemic inflammatory disease that is characterized by symptoms and signs such as elevated itchy plaques of raised red skin covered with thick silvery scales. Psoriasis is usually found on the elbows, knees, and scalp but can often affect the legs, trunk, and nails.

Eczema is a condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Blisters may sometimes occur.

Both conditions as well as sensitive skin can benefit from a daily skin care regimen.

Most importantly is to throw out products that have harsh, drying chemicals in your shampoos, body washes, lotions, soaps and conditioners.  You can exasperate the problem using these products.  Shampoos and body washes that are mostly water with harsh surfactants and preservatives will dry the skin and scalp and strip natural oils from the skin.  Better alternatives are aloe-based products with natural surfactants and natural preservatives.

Likewise, lotions need to have a higher oil count to maximize hydration which is vitally important to reduce the symptoms of your skin disorders.  The higher the oil content the better, and at times, lotions may be supplemented with creams, oils or butters.

Use of a vegetable-based soap is paramount instead of tallow soap that is most commonly used in commercial bar soaps.  Tallow, which is made of animal parts, can leave skin dry with almost a film-like feeling.

Absolutely Natural has a wide array of products easy on sensitive skin and beneficial for sufferers of Eczema or Psoriasis. That includes gentle shampoos and body washes that cleanse well but won’t strip your body of natural oils.    We also feature a variety of hydrators with the perfect oil content.

Finally, our bar soaps are vegetable based and easy on the skin.

Daily use of these specially formulated, gentle products will not cure these skin disorders, but will certainly improve them.  Our sales manager, Todd Anderson, has severe Atopic Dermatitis and spent years battling with it including using powerful steroid creams.  It wasn’t until he started daily use of our Absolutely Natural products did his symptoms abate and he now enjoys healthy looking, robust skin.

He is our best testament!

Best regards,

Charley
