Avoid the sun, particularly between 11am and 3pm when the sun's rays are at their strongest, and wear protective clothing when outdoors (unless you're hardening your skin).
Did you know that it is sometimes possible to increase the resistance of the skin with careful and gradual exposure to sunshine?

]]>Do you suffer from psoriasis?
Ultraviolet rays from medical UV-treatment or natural sunshine might help!
The sun’s ultraviolet rays are made up of UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are more effective at treating psoriasis symptoms because they slow the rapid rate of skin growth and shedding.
Although sunlight can benefit psoriasis, you should take care to protect yourself from sunburn. Psoriasis predominantly strikes light-skinned people. They are at a greater risk for sunburn and dangerous forms of cancer such as melanoma. Natural sunbathing is not monitored in a medical setting like phototherapy. And medications you may be taking can increase photosensitivity. This can heighten your risk of sunburn and skin cancer.
