🌅 **Morning = Prevent**
Start your day by protecting your skin from environmental stressors—UV rays, pollution, free radicals. Incorporate antioxidants, moisturizers, and SPF into your morning routine to keep your skin resilient and healthy.

🌙 **Evening = Correct**
At night, focus on addressing skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Use targeted actives such as retinoids, exfoliants, and serums to promote repair and renewal while you sleep.

Facial psoriasis often appears on the eyebrows, the area between the nose and upper lip, the forehead, and along the hairline. ✋🏻 Before we can start any treatment, it’s important to perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of psoriasis.

Because the skin on your face is delicate, treating psoriasis in these areas requires extra caution.

Here are some potential treatment options:
- Mild topical corticosteroids used occasionally
- Vitamin D derivatives
- Anthralin
- Topical retinoids
- Dovonex, Tazorac, and keratolytic treatments (for scaling)
- UV light or UVB phototherapy
- Salicylic acid
- Coal Tar
- Protopic, Prograf, and Elidel
- Methotrexate
- Cyclosporine
- Immunomodulating medications (biologics)

🤓Remember to apply any medication gently and sparingly on your face, as this skin can react easily. Overusing steroids can lead to thinning, shiny skin, and enlarged capillaries. Plus, discontinuing topical steroids can be a tough experience!

✨✨For those interested in natural remedies, here are some popular options that might help manage psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis:
- Aloe vera
- Diluted apple cider vinegar
- Fish oil, flaxseed oil, vitamin D, milk thistle, Oregon grape, turmeric, and evening primrose oil (taken orally)
- Oats
- Olive oil
- Dead Sea salts
- Using a humidifier
- Steering clear of fragrances
- Capsaicin
- Tea tree oil
- Turmeric
- Mahonia Aquifolium (Oregon Grape)
- Minimizing stress
- Avoiding alcohol and smoking
