The Natural Itch Relief: How Shea Butter Can Soothe Psoriasis
Living with psoriasis is a frustrating battle. It's not just "dry skin." It's an autoimmune condition where your skin cells build up too quickly, creating thick, scaly, and itchy "plaques."
While steroid creams can help, they aren't always a long-term solution. Many everyday lotions are too weak, and those with fragrances or alcohols can sting and make the inflammation worse.
You need a moisturizer that is potent, anti-inflammatory, and 100% pure.
This is why Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter is a powerful, natural ally for managing psoriasis symptoms.
1. It Calms the "Unbearable" Itch
The #1 symptom of a psoriasis flare-up is the intense, maddening itch. This is a sign of deep inflammation. Because our shea butter is unrefined, it retains its natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Applying it to an active plaque can help calm this inflammation, soothing the redness and providing relief from the itch.
2. It Softens Painful, Scaly Plaques
Those thick, silvery scales are a buildup of skin cells. They can become so dry that they feel tight, crack, and bleed. Shea butter is a heavy-duty emollient and occlusive. It sinks deep into the plaque, softening the hard, scaly layer. This makes the skin more flexible, reduces the painful "tight" feeling, and helps to gently loosen the scales.
3. It's 100% Pure & Non-Irritating
This is the most important part. Psoriasis is compromised skin. It needs zero irritants. Our shea butter has one ingredient.
-
NO synthetic fragrances
-
NO drying alcohols
-
NO steroids or harsh chemicals It's just pure, healing moisture that will not sting or further irritate your sensitive skin.
How to Use Shea Butter for Psoriasis
This is not a cure, but it is a powerful management tool.
-
After a Lukewarm Bath: After soaking in a lukewarm (not hot!) bath, gently pat your skin dry.
-
Apply Generously: While your skin is still damp, apply a thick, generous layer of Pure African Shea Butter to your plaques.
-
Seal It In: The butter will lock in the moisture from the bath and provide a protective barrier that soothes and softens for hours.
-
Re-apply: Apply it anytime you feel an "itch" coming on.
