Avoiding Psoriasis Flare-Ups During Change in Seasons
It is common for one to have a psoriasis flare during the change in seasons from summer to fall or winter to spring. There is no doubt that the summer sun provides clearing benfits for those suffering from psoriasis.
The UVA and UVB rays aid in slowing the growth of the skin cells and in some minor cases the psoriasis may clear completely. The sun also causes your body to produce Vitamin D naturally which is good for psoriasis sufferer’s and is better than a Vitamin D supplement.
The humidity is normally higher in the summertime which also is good for your skin.
So what do you do to keep clear during the transition time? You can replicate the sun environment! It’s very easy to do and inexpensive.
What I recommend is you find a tanning center and tan 2 to 3 times a week. A full session lasts 10 - 20 minutes, depending on the bed and bulbs. Most tanning beds use a combination of UVA and UVB light. The tanning beds are safe to use and there are tight regulations here in the U.S. and Canada. I imagine in the U.K. and Australia too.
Here in the Austin, Texas area it costs $20 - $30 a month for unlimited tanning. Minimum of 24 hours between sessions. There are 4 tanning centers within a mile of my house and they are always running specials so shop around! If your dermatologist has a light bed he probably charges $20 - $30 per session and they do the same thing! Some people have got their insurance companies to pay for the tanning, with no deductibles or co-pay, as they would rather pay $30 a month than $400.
Another benefit of using the tanning beds is that you can get the beneficial rays to the areas that may need treatment that you can’t publicly display, such as your buttocks, breasts, or loin area.
If you combine this with the Say Goodbye to Psoriasis treatment program the results are fast and frequently result in 100% clearing!
I strongly recommend that you give this a try! For the small amount of time and money spent, the results are really outstanding! This works during both seasonal transition times of the year. Continue the sessions until you are clear of psoriasis or satisfied with your level of clearing.
As mentioned above, you can speed up this process by combining it with the SGTP treatment program. Tanning alone can take months for noticeable improvement but it does work and provides long lasting improvement.
You can turbo charge the tanning sessions if you can get your doctor to write you a prescription for psoralen. This is a prescription pill that you take 1 hour before tanning and makes your skin super absorbent to the UVA rays. You will have the darkest tan imagineable in little time! This is the treatment known as PUVA, psoralen and UVA light therapy. Your doctor may or may not go for this if you are doing the tanning off premise, but it doesn’t cost anything to ask!
