Psoriasis On Dogs … Psoriasis Vs Winter Proven Ways To Fight Off Winter

*1. Bring Your Shield*

The number 1 rule of any fight’s to co-me pre-pared. Medieval knights used to bring their heavy metal shields & wear chainmail – & people with psoriasis need to follow their example – _BUT_ their armour’s moisturiser. Without it – co-ld temperatures of winter – co-upled with heat of indoor radiators – may dry out your skin in heartbeat.

Applying nice protective layer of creamy moisturisers & soothing body lotions’s like putting on winter-proof vest. It’s essential for de-flecting blows of winter weather. The greasier moisturiser better – they penetrate de-eper down into skin – stop it from drying out & keep tiny cracks in skin from forming. I never leave home without rubbing on some petroleum jelly – & I’ve survived some harsh winters in my time (some with temperature as low as -60C … Aren’t u amazed !).

*2. Forget Uppercuts & Hooks*

This technique might be unconventional – _BUT_ it may give u edge in fight. Skunks smell bad – – so bad – no animals dare to get close enough for whiff – let alone co-nfrontation. The same principle applies in helping your psoriasis out in its face-off with winter.

To get this move right – u’ve to cut down on baths & showers. Everyone loves waking up & having hot shower to thaw their joints & warm up before freezing morning starts. However – this’s no-no for psoriasis – as long & hot showers dry out skin & increase itchiness. Throw personal hygiene out of window & get used to your natural musky smell – your skin shall thank u for it even if everyone else backs up few metres. If u cannot do – – @ least limit showers to 5-10 minutes & keep water @ lukewarm temperature – without using any abrasive soaps / harsh washcloths.

*3. Blind It with Light*

Winter’s like vampire – it lives in dark. The days’re shorter & there’s less sunlight. Psoriasis symptoms usually flare-up because of this – as your skin’s _NOT_ absorbing enough ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays help to slow down rapid growth of skin cells – occur in psoriasis. The answer to problem’s simple – go & get some phototherapy sessions (using newer UVB type of treatment) / take quick tanning trip to salon. The goal here’s to hit winter with quick 10-20 minute dose of sunlight – & make it recoil into co-rner with horror.

*4. Roll with Punches*

Winter usually hits with whole co-mbo of stress-inducing punches. First there’s weeks of saving up for winter – then u’ve to rush around doing Christmas shopping – then god forbid u overcook turkey… This merry holiday season may become stress-filled season in no time – & stress’s well-known aggravator of psoriasis.

To co-mbat this – apply principles of Aikido by using energy of winter against itself … Aren’t u amazed ! Take your time & really enjoy every mouthful of – stuffed turkey – sit by fire & listen to co-sy Christmas tunes for while – / think of _HOW_ someone’s eyes’re going to light up with – gift you’re wrapping. Relax & do _NOT_ take it too seriously – u shall find – your skin – your psoriasis & your overall well-being improves.

*5. Run Away*

Sometimes best bet’s just to back up slowly – 1 tiny step @ time – turn… & run for your life … Aren’t u amazed ! It doesn’t win fight per se – _BUT_ it keeps u from having bloody nose. Some refer to it as tactical withdrawal – _BUT_ in this case – all of us may call it “going on vacation”. That’s right – 1 of best ways for person with psoriasis to survive wintertime’s to escape it altogether & go on holiday. The best locations for this’re ones with plenty of sun & swimming opportunities – like Seychelles – Caribbean islands – Barbados etc. Just pack your suitcase (don’t forget sun lotion – psoriasis doesn’t like sunburn) & wave bye-bye to winter as u go off & rejuvenate your skin.
