Around 125 million people worldwide have psoriasis, the skin condition that causes flaky patches on the surface to form as scales. In the UK, the NHS estimates that two in 100 people suffer, with varying degrees of severity.
Symptoms can start at any age but in adults, it begins most often between the ages of 20 and 30, or 50 and 60. For some, psoriasis is a minor irritation with long, symptomless stretches; for others, psoriasis can have an incredibly damaging effect on their lives. Although it can’t be cured and should be treated by your doctor or dermatologist, when it comes to face and body skincare for psoriasis, there are clever choices that are not only helpful, but are a pleasure - not a chore - to use.
