How to relieve psoriasis during the summer?

In summer, psoriasis experiences a strange paradox: the sun can soothe it... but also aggravate it if exposure is poorly managed.

Between heat, sweat, salt water and outdoor activities, skin needs support to get through the season without itching.

It's decided, psoriasis isn't going to ruin summer: here are our tips for enjoying the sun while taking care of your skin!

1. Take advantage of the benefits of the sun intelligently

Good news: UVB rays from the sun can reduce the thickness and inflammation of psoriasis plaques . This is the principle of certain dermatological phototherapies.

But the exposure must remain measured and progressive:

Favor quiet hours (before 11 a.m., after 5 p.m.)
Limit the first sessions to 10-15 minutes,
Cover areas not affected by psoriasis to prevent sunburn

Too much sun can cause a rebound effect and worsen the lesions. So the watchword: moderation!

2. Maintain constant (and targeted) hydration

The sun, sea water or chlorine dehydrate the skin, which promotes itching and flaking.

Daily hydration is therefore essential, morning and evening, and even more so after swimming.

Our targeted treatments help maintain this permanent hydration, even in extreme heat:

3. Minimize summer irritations

In summer, psoriasis can also be exacerbated by perspiration, friction from clothing or micro-irritations (sand, salt, chlorine).

To limit these triggers, here are some practical tips:

Wear loose-fitting clothing made from natural fibers,
Rinse skin with fresh water after each swim,
Avoid harsh soaps and prefer gentle cleansers.
