From Flare to Flair: Feel Better in Your Skin

Soothe your skin from the inside out.

PSORIASIS is a skin condition characterized by patches of red, scaly skin. The common most affected areas are elbows, knees, scalp, back, face, palms and feet. But other areas can be affected as well. Psoriasis does not have a known cure but there are many natural ways to soothe flare-up symptoms.

First and foremost, please seek advice from your dermatologist! They can tell if your symptoms are showing eczema, psoriasis or an allergic reaction. Then give these incredible Young Living products a try to soothe your skin.

When Your Skin Speaks:

Understanding the Deeper Messages Behind Psoriasis Flare-Ups

When your body experiences a psoriasis flare-up, it’s sending a clear signal that something internally is off balance. Psoriasis isn’t just a skin issue—it’s often a message from deeper systems, especially your immune, gut, and emotional health.

What Your Body Might Be Saying:

1. “I’m Overwhelmed with Inflammation”

• Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune response. The immune system is attacking healthy skin cells by mistake.

• Possible Triggers: Stress, processed foods, infections, toxins, allergies - just to name a few.

  
  

2. “My Gut Needs Support”

• The gut-skin connection is real. Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria), leaky gut, or poor digestion can trigger skin issues.

• Clue: Flare-ups after sugar, gluten, or dairy may suggest gut involvement.

  
  

3. “I Need Emotional Release”

• Emotional stress, trauma, or repressed emotions (especially anger, grief, or shame) can exacerbate psoriasis.

• Energetically, psoriasis can be linked to feeling rejected, irritated or not letting yourself “shed” the past.

  
  

4. “My Detox Pathways Are Blocked”

• If the liver, kidneys, or lymph system are sluggish, toxins may try to exit through the skin.

• Clue: You may feel fatigued, puffy, or foggy before a flare.

🌿 Holistic Interpretation

Psoriasis is your body’s way of saying:

“Hey, I’m trying to keep up, but I need help detoxing, calming down, and resetting from the inside out.” When your body is experiencing a skin flare-up, it is trying to tell you something.

Natural Ways to Soothe Psoriasis Systems

While moisturizing is important for managing psoriasis issues, smothering flare-ups with heavy, greasy moisturizers can actually make things worse. Here's why:

1. Traps Heat and Irritation: Thick creams can trap heat and sweat against the skin, which may increase inflammation and itchiness—especially during a flare-up.

2. Blocks Breathability: Psoriasis-affected skin needs to breathe. Occlusive (sealant-like) moisturizers may block airflow, making the skin feel more suffocated and reactive.

3. Can Disrupt Natural Healing: The body is trying to shed and renew skin during a flare. Smothering the area may interfere with the shedding process and slow down cell turnover.

4. Ingredients May Aggravate: Some heavy moisturizers contain petroleum, synthetic fragrance, or alcohols that can irritate already inflamed skin.

Daily Internal Options

• BALANCE PH:

  • Add a drop of Young Living Lemon Vitality essential oil in an 18-20oz glass or stainless-steel container then fill with FILTERED* water and drink it right when you get up in the morning to calm excessive acidic PH in the body. *(If you're not drinking filtered water, then you become the filter!)

  • Alkalime is a precisely balanced, natural alkalizing supplement formulated to:

    • Help balance desirable pH levels in the body

    • Supports digestive comfort and gut health

    • Reduces overall acidic stress, which can aggravate inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis

    • Since many people with psoriasis have an acidic internal environment, improving alkalinity can help reduce flare-ups over time.

    • Follow directions on package. Cautions and Warnings: Not recommended for sodium-restricted diets. Keep out of reach of children.

      
      

• SUPPORT FOR DETOX & INFLAMMATION:

  • NingXia Red Juice is high in antioxidants to combat oxidative stress (the #1 enemy of our cells) Drink 1 - 2oz every day. You may add to water or smoothies.

  • MultiGreens is a chlorophyll-rich, essential oil-infused supplement that:

    • Supports immune system balance

    • Provides antioxidant protection

    • Nourishes cells with bioavailable greens, bee pollen, and essential oils

    • Promotes detoxification, which is key for clearer skin

    It’s especially helpful for individuals needing nutritional support to repair skin and modulate inflammatory responses.

  • Life 9 Probiotic – A healthy gut supports a healthy immune response and skin clarity.

External Products to Support Skin Health

During a psoriasis flare-up, it’s actually very wise to think about what you're putting on the skin—especially in terms of thickness and how it affects heat and moisture regulation.

Rose Ointment:

• Very rich and occlusive. It forms a thick barrier on the skin.

• Pro: Excellent for sealing in moisture, especially in very dry or cracked areas after the flare has calmed down.

• Con: During an active flare, it may trap heat and worsen inflammation, since the skin often needs to breathe and cool down.

Lavender Hand and Body Lotion:

• Lighter texture. Absorbs more easily without creating a heavy seal.

• Pro: Contains Lavender, which is naturally calming and soothing to irritated skin.

• Better for active flares, especially if the skin is warm, red, or itchy.

  
  

✅ Best Strategy:

• Use Lavender Lotion during the flare-up to calm and hydrate.

• Use Rose Ointment after the flare has calmed down to deeply nourish and protect healing skin.

MORE NATURAL (OPTIONS) FROM YOUNG LIVING

Apply a small amount to affected areas 1–3 times daily. Always do a patch test first, especially during a flare-up.

• Animal Scents Ointment – Despite the name, it's great for human skin too—very protective and moisturizing.

• LavaDerm Cooling Mist – Calms itching and soothes irritated skin.

• CBD Calm Roller or Muscle Rub – For inflammation and itch relief (THC-free, broad-spectrum hemp).

• V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex – Ideal for diluting oils and deeply moisturizing.

• Vitamin E oil from Amazon (extra antioxidant skin support)

• Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner for scalp support

FORGIVENESS ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND

The Forgiveness essential oil blend from Young Living offers powerful emotional and energetic support—especially important for people dealing with chronic conditions like psoriasis, which can be triggered or worsened by stress, emotional trauma, and unresolved tension.

How Forgiveness May Help Psoriasis Flare-Ups:

• Emotional Healing: Psoriasis is often linked to stress and emotional burdens. Forgiveness oil helps release anger, guilt, and resentment—emotions that can weigh heavily on the body and manifest in the skin.

• Nervous System Soothing: The blend includes oils like Rose, Melissa, and Frankincense that calm the central nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and tension that may trigger inflammation.

• Energetic Reset: Applying Forgiveness over the heart, on the spine, or inhaling it can shift the limbic system’s stress patterns—often an overlooked key to chronic skin issues.

• Reduces Stress, a major psoriasis trigger

• Supports Detoxification, especially liver pathways

• Calms and Nourishes the skin directly when applied with a carrier oil

• Promotes Emotional Peace, which lowers inflammatory stress chemicals (like cortisol)

  
  

The Forgiveness™ blend from Young Living is not only emotionally supportive but also contains oils that may help with skin conditions like psoriasis, especially when paired with lifestyle support and other supplements like AlkaLime and MultiGreens.
