There are many creams and ointments that you can use to help "manage" your psoriasis. Using one method for too long can lead to your psoriasis becoming resistant to that method. Treatment rotation is frequently recommended.

Cortastereoids, UV treatments, some herbal remedies and lately I've read there is an injection treatment that can all help. It sometimes goes into remission and other times flares up. Some attribute this to stress, diet, clothes washing powder etc, but withouth strong scientific foundation. Find out what treatment works best for you and vary it so as not too become immune to it. (when i first started using a cortasteroid (dovonex) it worked amazingly....now it barley makes a difference!)

I know of the perfect remedy for your situation. It's an organic and natural oil that has been used by the women in Morocco and Israel for years. It's called Argan oil, and it works wonders. It absorbs into the skin very fast, faster than most creams and lotions. It only grows in Morocco for some reason, and it has been used by the Berber women their for centuries. It diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenates the skin, hair, and nails. It is also very beneficial in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, stretch marks, and even acne believe it or not. My mother has been using it for years and she looks radiant. It is the all around most beneficial and rarest organic Skin Care product in the world. For some reason it has been pretty much unknown until lately. It has been used by models, spas and salon, and people with skin ailments for the last couple years in Europe though. I contacted one website who has certified and deodorized Argan oil (the natural odor is very strong) , and had the most info on all the different application for Argan oil. You can sign up for a discount and future discounts, and they start selling in two weeks.

Does makeup foundation and cleansing wipes irritate and make psoriasis worse?

If you use too much, it can. When covering psoriasis with makeup you should use light strokes and a little amount. You should never apply makeup to an open sore. If you have eyrthrodermic psoriasis you might not be able to put makeup on, because it will always irritate it. Certain makeups are designed for people with psoriasis as to not irriate it such as Cover FX.
