INFLAMED SKIN

You may have unwanted redness on your cheeks, nose, forehead or chin. It may be associated with pustules or enlargement of the oil glands (sebaceous hyperplasia). If associated with dark rings around the eyes, thickened skin around the neck or axilla, and/or skin tags and/or multiple warty appearances on the trunk, the underlying problem may be lactose intolerance.

The lactose in the colon interferes with the colonic bacteria which usually resides in the colon to digest cellulose, which is not digested easily by most people. The dying bacteria generate stress proteins which incite an immune reaction. The inflammatory response results in secretion of cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, which cause sensitivity to the sun. This may result in unwanted redness of the skin in the sun-exposed areas, as well as unwanted rosy, blotchy, appearance of the skin.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: For application on the face, we recommend Psoria Gold® Sensitive Plus. This formulation is ideal for dry, sensitive skin with redness in the sun-exposed areas of the face and chest. The Sensitive Plus does not contain aloe vera for those who are allergic. 

DIRECTIONS: 

A. Eliminating dairy products from your diet

For those with lactose intolerance, it is recommended to cut back severely on lactose containing foods (dairy products e.g. milk, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, pastry, pizza, chocolate etc), and substitute dairy with non-dairy alternatives. It is also recommended that they take their calcium supplements in the form of calcium plus vitamin D tablets.

B. Other Causes of Rosy, Blotchy Skin

Rosy, blotchy skin appearance may be due to other causes, including sinus infections, photosensitivity caused by the use of colognes, deodorant soaps, or medications such as hydrochlorothiazide, sulfa drugs etc. It may also be associated with an underlying infection such as gall-bladder disease, urinary tract infection etc. You should always see your doctor if you suspect you may have any of the above conditions. Expect favorable results within 3-6 months. 

C. Washing and Application Instructions

(1) Wash with a gentle pH balanced cleanser. If you tend to have dry skin, wash face with the Psoria-Gold Clean Foam Cleanser.

(2) Apply a small dab on towel-dried skin, and massage quickly, yet thoroughly, into skin until dry.

(3) Use water based, not oil-based, makeup on top of the dry Psoria-Gold® layer. If you have clogged pores, avoid heavy skin moisturizers and hair conditioners, as this can contribute to unwanted porous skin appearance. 

(4) Sunscreen or makeup with UV Protection is highly recommended daily.
