How to use
-
Cleanse the Skin: Begin with clean, dry skin. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to gently wash the affected areas. Pat the skin dry with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp.
-
Apply a Generous Amount:
- Take a generous amount of the CERAVE Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream onto your fingertips.
- Since psoriasis-prone skin tends to be dry and flaky, it's essential to use enough cream to cover the affected areas thoroughly.
-
Massage Gently into the Skin:
- Apply the cream to the affected areas of your skin, such as elbows, knees, scalp, or wherever you have psoriasis patches.
- Gently massage the cream into the skin using circular motions or light, sweeping strokes.
- Be gentle to avoid irritating the already sensitive skin.
-
Focus on Problem Areas:
- If you have particularly stubborn or thick plaques of psoriasis, spend a bit more time gently massaging the cream into those areas.
- The cream helps to soften and loosen the scales, making them easier to remove or less noticeable.
-
Let the Cream Absorb:
- Allow the cream to fully absorb into the skin before covering the area with clothing.
- It's best to let the cream sit for a few minutes to ensure maximum absorption.
-
Use Regularly:
- For optimal results, use the CERAVE Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream regularly, at least once or twice a day.
- Using it after a shower or bath is particularly beneficial, as the skin is more receptive to moisture.
-
Avoid Irritants:
- Psoriasis-prone skin is often sensitive, so try to avoid harsh soaps, fragrances, and other potential irritants.
- Opt for gentle, non-irritating skincare products to help maintain the skin's natural barrier.
-
Consult Your Dermatologist:
- If you have severe or persistent psoriasis symptoms, it's essential to consult with a dermatologist.
- They can provide personalized recommendations for managing your condition and may suggest additional treatments or therapies.
-
Follow Up with Sunscreen:
- If using the cream during the day, it's crucial to follow up with sunscreen, especially on exposed areas.
- Sun protection helps prevent further irritation and protects the skin from UV damage.
By following these steps and incorporating CERAVE Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream into your daily skincare routine, you can help soothe, moisturize, and manage the symptoms of psoriasis for healthier, more comfortable skin.
