Skin Condition: Psoriasis

The Problem: Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin condition where skin cells multiply faster than normal. This is caused by an overactive immune system. This chronic, inflammatory skin condition appears as thick red or silver colored patches of skin that are inflamed and may flake. These patches commonly appear on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp. In some cases, psoriasis may be painful and itch, crack or bleed.
According to National Institutes of Health, some 5.8 to 7.5 million Americans, 2-3% of the world’s population, are afflicted with this disease. Between 10 and 30 percent of people who have psoriasis also have psoriatic arthritis that causes joint swelling and pain.
Psoriasis is not a single skin condition; it has multiple types, each one having very distinct symptoms. There are seven types of psoriasis: plaque (the most prevalent), inverse, nail, pustular, guttate, psoriatic arthritis and erythrodermic. It is important to share with others that all psoriasis types are not contagious.
The Solution: Ultra Essence Skincare Products

Ultra Essence skincare products are paraben free, gluten free, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and hypoallergenic. They are formulated with natural ingredients that end dry skin forever, relieve skin conditions and reverse the signs of aging.
The following Ultra Essence skincare products are dermatologist recommended and very effective for psoriasis.
- The main product we recommend from our skincare line for dry skin is Ultra Balm (or Ultra Handy Man for men). Ultra Balm is our signature daily moisturizer and a customer favorite for over 15 years. Ultra Balm’s non-greasy formula does not clog pores. It contains lanolin, vitamins A, D and E, grapefruit seed extract and aloe vera to repair skin cells that have been damaged by the sun, pollutants and the body's own aging process. These natural ingredients fight against acne and dry skin to reveal a more clear, youthful-looking complexion. Ultra Balm is long-lasting and is formulated to moisturize the face and body without a greasy feeling that stays on the surface of your skin. Ultra Balm soaks right in as the skin welcomes the nutrients it needs to stay milky soft and balanced. Ultra Balm is proud of its formulation that maintains a PH Level of about a 6.0 helping to keep your skin healthy.
- First soak the affected area for at least 20 minutes in warm (not hot) water. Then, gently rub skin with a clean wash cloth; not too hard as the skin underneath is very raw. When your pores are still open, lightly pat (not rub) your skin dry and then immediately apply Ultra Balm to the affected area. Ultra Balm penetrates deep into the skin, restoring the skin’s proper acid covering so that the skin returns to the PH level necessary to keep the skin hydrated, moist and protected from germs and infections. Follow your Ultra Balm application with a cold compress as this will close the top layer of the skin and allow the balm to do its work. You should follow up during the day with a small amount of Ultra Balm to any painful or itchy area. DO NOT rub the area every day. Wait a day in between to allow the affected area(s) to heal. You should notice a change within days or even hours, and you will immediately be much more comfortable.
“I live in Decatur Illinois and found your Ultra Balm at a Home & Garden Show there. I’ve had a bad case of Psoriasis for over 20 years. Before Ultra Balm I think I tried everything, from Prescription drugs, invasive injections to numerous alternative medicine treatments but none ever gave me the relief that Ultra Balm has. At first I was very hesitant to buy it because of all the past product failures I’d experienced. I am so glad I gave it one last chance! I put my Ultra Balm on daily and my skin is no longer cracked and dry, no longer itches, and the soreness I used to have is GONE! I want everyone to experience the success I’ve had with Ultra Balm and encourage anyone with a severe skin problem to just TRY IT, especially if they’ve tried a lot of other solutions that have failed! They will really be amazed at the results!” ~ G. Nordholm, Housewife, Decatur Illinois
