The Psoriasis Skin Condition
Need Not Lead To Heartbreak!

The psoriasis skin condition is known to most people, especially those familiar with the expression "The Heartbreak of Psoriasis" first appearing in the clever, emotionally-impacting Tegrin ad campaign of the 1960s.

The heartbreak is double-barreled. It's the pain of suffering a chronic disease and it's the torment of self-loathing because of the appearance. But it doesn't have to be either. Relief could be right at hand.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has something to say about the psoriasis skin condition. Here's how the NIH sees it:

• Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy or sore patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. You usually get them on your elbows, knees, scalp, back, face, palms and feet, but they can show up on other parts of your body.
• A problem with your immune system causes psoriasis. In a process called cell turnover, skin cells that grow deep in your skin rise to the surface. Normally, this takes a month. In psoriasis, it happens in just days because your cells rise too fast.
• Psoriasis can last a long time, even a lifetime. Symptoms come and go. Things that make them worse include:
  • Infections
  • Stress
  • Dry skin
  • Certain medicines
• Psoriasis usually occurs in adults. It sometimes runs in families.

According to authoritative sources like the NIH, your psoriasis skin condition treatment program could include creams, medications and light therapy. And although not directly mentioned, washing carefully is understood to be an integral part of any natural skin care program.

Here's the thing. The washing part is usually taken for granted. We think it does not play a significant role. But water is indeed a major player and whether it's hard of soft could make quite a difference.

The Water Treatment Plan

No matter where your psoriasis treatment level is in the illustration below, you'll still be washing yourself, right? And if you use soft water to wash, you're most probably doing yourself a BIG favor.

That's exactly what John Staines discovered. John is the founder of OhSoft. He discovered pretty much by chance that his skin condition got worse when he used hard water and it got better when he used soft water.

According to John, most of us aren't aware that soaps and combine with the impurities of hard water to form a sticky dull film that coats our skin.

The soap scum, as it's called, acts to prevents our body's natural restorative oils from reaching the skin's surface. In a way, the cleaning we're doing could actually be making us dirtier, so to speak.

We probably don't notice a thing, except that our psoriasis skin condition doesn't seem to be getting much better. And of course, if we see things deteriorating, we often make them worse by trying one more lotion/cream remedy after another.

Who knows what will really work? John is totally convinced that just about any natural skin care treatment program will work better if you use soft water for washing. That's precisely why he invented the OhSoft!

You've Got Nothing To Lose

So, whether your prescribed skin care program is simple or elaborate, if it involves water, that water should be soft water.
