Welcome friends

Glad you are checking in on the blog. You'll find that it is mostly focused on skin care but I may occasionally write about other things. Know the skin your in is also about being comfortable with one's self and sharing that with you. Be it about beauty or personal life. As a mom, I may be compelled to speak of my children. When it strikes me of course.

Please share any thoughts or questions you may have. I will do my best to reply. Have a product that your not sure about, ask me, happy to do the research or share my thoughts on it.

I do have three little ones at home so it makes it hard to blog regularly. However, I will do my best!

Thanks for stopping by.

Be Blessed, Be Healthy and Be Beautiful!

Psoriasis

Not to long ago, I was speaking with someone recently diagnosed with Psoriasis and I wondered just how much people knew about it.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder which can appear like a skin rash or silver flakes, red irritated/inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body.

As reported by NAMCS and NHAMCS demographics(2006-2007), In the US alone over 672 thousand are diagnosed every year. The average age is 53. Seems to affect men more then women. The actually cause is still unknown but there are theories.

Some suggest that diet plays a part. Deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals. Other theories are environmental, life stress, obesity and more. In essence, no one knows for sure but there are treatments.

See this recent article written by the Mayo-clinic to provide better insight.

Hope you find this link helpful. I will continue to search for useful information and solutions.


As always, Be Blessed, Be Healthy and Be Beautiful!
