While winter can mean dry, uncomfortable skin for some, this time of year brings its own challenges for people living with psoriasis. To help, I’m sharing my top tips for managing this condition throughout the colder months. As someone who’s been living with psoriasis for more than 27 years, the winter season can be especially difficult.
The changes in weather conditions, plunging temperatures, and even the amount of daylight can greatly impact how we feel, both mentally and physically. Some years were so debilitating for me that bearing the cold seemed like an impossible task. During this time I’d isolate myself from the outside world.
Other years, however, thanks to a few easy adjustments, I was able to live life to the fullest — even with blistering winds and less than ideal cold days.
In the end, it was about finding what worked best for me and my psoriasis during this time of the year.
So, if you’re starting to feel anxious about how this winter will affect your psoriasis, I’ve got you covered. Hop on over to my blog on Healthline and find the do’s and don’ts I’ve found to work best for me.
