Most experts agree that one of the most important aspects for keeping psoriasis and eczema under control is to keep your skin moisturized. Some steps one should take to reduce irritation and flair ups include the following:

1. Do not allow your skin to dry out or get damaged. Limit sun exposure, tanning, and windy conditions. In the winter dress warmly.

2. When you bathe, warm water is better than very hot water. Dry off your body by patting a towel on it, rather than rubbing the towel.

3. Avoid commercial soaps which are usually made with animal fats, detergents, foaming agents, degreasing agents, and synthetic ingredients which can be drying and irritating to skin. Instead, use an all-natural soap, such as those crafted by Sunrise Showers Soap Co., which are made with non-drying vegetable oils, shea butter, and other all-natural ingredients.

4. As soon as possible after drying off after bathing, use an all-natural moisturizer to trap the moisture in your skin. When you bathe, your skin absorbs water, so you want to “lock” it in. One moisturizer that provides good results for many people is Sunrise Showers’ That Amazing Stuff™ Whipped Unrefined Shea Butter for Psoriasis & Eczema Relief, http://www.sunriseshowers.com/product_p/psoriasiseczemarelief.htm . It is best to avoid normal lotions that may contain alcohol, mineral oil, petroleum derivatives, emulsifiers, and other potentially irritating chemicals and gunk.

5. It is best to develop a routine that you continuously follow to keep psoriasis and/or eczema under control. Do not wait for your skin condition to deteriorate. The more it deteriorates, the more it will itch and get inflamed, causing discomfort and the temptation to scratch it, causing more inflammation. And the vicious cycle will continue until it is stabilized.

We ship Sunrise Showers’ That Amazing Stuff™ Psoriasis and Eczema Relief Soap, http://www.sunriseshowers.com/Psoriasis_soap_Eczema_soap_p/psoriasiseczemasoap.htm all around the country to many psoriasis and/or eczema sufferers who report that the soap reduces the itchiness, flakiness, inflammation, and other symptoms caused by these skin conditions. This goat milk-based soap is loaded with numerous ingredients that help keep the symptoms of psoriasis and eczema under control for most people with these skin conditions. Since everyone has different body chemistry, some users may experience better results than others. This soap has lactic acid that helps slough off dead or dry skin cells.

That Amazing Stuff™ Psoriasis and Eczema Relief Soap (unscented) is specifically formulated to address these skin issues. However, customers have also provided feedback that they get very good results with several other Sunrise Showers Soaps including:

All Sunrise Showers Soaps™ are made with food-grade ingredients, and unless you are allergic to one of the ingredients in any of them, they should not aggravate the symptoms of psoriasis and/or eczema. The ingredients for each specific soap are all clearly listed on the label and on our website, in plain English.

In addition to the soaps listed above, we have many testimonials regarding the effectiveness of That Amazing Stuff™ Whipped Shea Butter Psoriasis and Eczema Relief. This moisturizer is similar to a lotion or crème, but much more nourishing. They are crafted with four ingredients: unrefined shea butter, Moroccan argan oil, aloe vera, and emu oil. That’s it! No alcohol, no mineral oil, no petroleum products, no water, no emulsifiers, no preservatives --- no junk. They are available in Unscented, http://www.sunriseshowers.com/product_p/psoriasiseczemarelief.htm and Lavender/Ginger, http://www.sunriseshowers.com/product_p/psoriasiseczemarelieflavginger.htm . One caution, this moisturizer should be used very sparingly --- a pea-size amount is normally enough for both hands and arms. With this product, “ LESS is MORE”.

Though some people report great results by using just the soap, or using just the moisturizer, most people tell us they bathe with the soap, and then also apply the moisturizer to lock in moisture and to keep the condition under control.
