Psoriasis and beard, what to do?
Having a beard isn't really a fashion anymore. It is indeed a style in its own right. These days there is something for everyone. We just need to take the time to look around us to see the incredible range of beards that exist.
From the traditional three-day beard to the big hipster beard, the beard is making a comeback in the spotlight. In addition to our various facial psoriasis tips, here is an article dedicated to treatments that allow you to reconcile beard and psoriasis.
How does facial and beard psoriasis manifest on the skin?
Psoriasis is characterized by the appearance on the skin of red spots covered with whitish scales. This skin pathology currently affects between 2.5 and 3 million French people. This disease can affect all parts of the body and particularly the face, even if the phenomenon is uncommon (5 to 10% of patients).
Unaesthetics of beard psoriasis: the symptoms.
When psoriasis in the beard in adult men manifests itself, we notice redness and scales. In addition, the latter are most often accompanied by itching. The most annoying thing for this type of psoriasis is that when the skin peels off, spots appear. small whitish films which have the worst effect. The beard looks dirty and flaky. Most often psoriasis appears on the joints. We can cover them up. Obviously, in the case of beard psoriasis, this is impossible. Thus, psoriasis of the face and beard is particularly complex for many people under the gaze of others.
How to treat psoriasis of the face and beard? A natural treatment for beard psoriasis
Psoriasis is a dermatological pathology that cannot be cured. Most anti-psoriasis treatments are in the form of creams, which is unsuitable for a slightly long beard.
This is why the Pso Natura Foaming Regenerative Complex is a particularly suitable ally to help treat this type of psoriasis. It has the advantage of being a 100% natural treatment, which is essential when it comes to applying it to the face, a fragile epidermal space. Furthermore, the Pso Natura Foaming Complex is very practical to use to treat the skin under the beard. Its proven effectiveness of 94% on psoriasis makes it a star treatment for the natural treatment of psoriasis.
Maintain your beard correctly to relieve psoriasis
In order to continue to have a beard despite psoriasis and despite the presence of plaques and scales, you should use treatments that both care for the beard and hydrate it properly. The beard needs specific treatment to be effectively maintained.
Beard hair is a very special kind of hair. We are talking about androgenic hair, meaning that its growth is stimulated by the testosterone present in our body. Consequently, the development of the hair system is indicative of the testosterone level in the person concerned.
Here are our 5 tips for maintaining your beard in case of psoriasis, to both limit or even eliminate itching and avoid the presence of scales:
Wash your beard daily
This will make it easier to remove scales and thus limit the unsightly impact of this dandruff.
Use a cleansing treatment specially designed for beard treatment
Forget the soap because it will make the beard drier. Choose a treatment that will contribute to the softness of your beard.
Use beard oil
This additional care will have a double effect: on the one hand, the beard will be better hydrated and therefore silkier. On the other hand, psoriatic skin always needs as much hydration as possible to repair itself better. The oil will help soothe the skin, although it will not have a direct effect on eliminating psoriasis symptoms. Macadamia oil is indicated for its moisturizing properties.
Prefer a clipper to a razor
The electric or manual trimmer will have the advantage of being less aggressive to the skin than a razor, which risks causing tightness of the skin. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease which interprets repeated friction as aggression and reacts by overproducing epidermal cells at a rate 4 times higher than average, hence the appearance of scales, which are in fact a pile of cells. dead. Banishing the razor is therefore a good idea.
Choosing a Soothing Aftershave Lotion
Here again, the leitmotif is to avoid any aggression to the skin and on the contrary to moisturize it and pamper it permanently. An aftershave lotion containing, for example, aloe vera with moisturizing properties is recommended. In this context, a very chemical or very perfumed formulation can constitute a factor in aggravating psoriasis. Careful reading of the ingredients in the formula is required.
Overall, in case of psoriasis under a beard, take care of each ingredient that you put on your face. Favor softness and naturalness.
An effective routine for the face
The skin of the face has several particularities:
On the one hand, it is significantly thinner than the skin on the rest of the body. It is therefore significantly more fragile.
On the other hand, it is particularly exposed, since it is generally not covered, except when wearing a mask...Pollution, cold, heat, sun, wind, pollution are all factors of aggression of the facial epidermis. This is why it is essential to take care of it on a daily basis, especially when psoriasis is present on the face.
Our daily advice for beards and psoriasis. What cream or treatment for the face?
– Wash your face morning and evening with a suitable solution. Soap should be banned because it is too chemical and too aggressive for the skin. Choose a natural soap with a neutral pH to eliminate bacteria and impurities accumulated during the day. Be careful though if you have a beard.
– Use “gentle” and non-irritating toiletries for fragile skin. After a gentle wash, remember to pat the skin dry with a cotton towel, rather than rubbing it, to avoid damaging the skin.
– Don't forget to hydrate your skin with the daily application of a moisturizer after washing, and even more so during the winter months. Pso Natura Rich Restructuring Cream provides suitable hydration for facial psoriasis, except in the case of oily skin, in which case it would be too rich. This cream based on Carapa procera oil, shea and aloe vera helps moisturize the skin and nourish it deeply.
- Water is life ! Staying well hydrated is, as we often say (but never enough), very important for the body. Drinking 1,5 to 2 liters of water per day will allow you to have a better hydrated body and healthier skin to ensure you look better.
Reconciling beards and psoriasis
Beard and psoriasis are not mutually exclusive. However, some precautionary measures are necessary. Let's do a check in.
