I do not see any use. Emolene cream is a hydronourisher that restores the natural moisture balance. It contains propylene glycol and urea. Urea and propylene moisture and heals dry skin, whereas glycol is good skin conditioner. Urea naturally found in the skin. It is called ?humectant? because it is an important component of the body?s natural moisturizing factor (nmf). Urea softens the horny layer so it can be easily released from the surface of the skin. Propylene glycol acts by retaining the moisture content of skin, preventing the escape of moisture or water. Emolene cream can be used on face, hands, elbow, feet and is suitable on all skin types. U can do the following to ease the symptoms of psoriasis 1. Prevent dry skin use a humidifier to keep the air in your home or office moist. This can help prevent dry skin before it starts. Sensitive skin moisturizers are also great at keeping your skin supple and preventing plaques from forming. 2. Avoid fragrances most soaps and perfumes have dyes and other chemicals in them that may irritate your skin. They can make you smell great, but they also can inflame psoriasis. 3. Eat healthfully diet may play a role in managing psoriasis. Eliminating red meat and fatty snacks may help reduce flare-ups triggered by such foods. Cold water fish, seeds, nuts, and omega-3 fatty acids are known for their ability to reduce inflammation. 4. Soak your body hot water may be an irritant for your skin. However, a lukewarm bath can soothe the itching and infiltrate scales and plaques. Moisturize immediately after your bath for double benefits. 5. Reduce stress any chronic condition like psoriasis can be a source of stress. This can often turn into a vicious cycle because stress itself can worsen psoriasis symptoms. In addition to reducing stress whenever possible, consider incorporating stress-reducing practices such as yoga and meditation. 6. Avoid alcohol alcohol is a trigger for many people who have psoriasis. 7. Stop smoking avoid tobacco it can make your symptoms more severe. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.
