As a sufferer of not only dry & sensitive (dare I say intolerent) skin, I also have psoriasis everywhere one could image. These factors often lead me to be weary of new products, as even "hyperallergenic" labels usually lead my skin to feel as if it's searing, but every so often a product falls into my lap that I can't even believe doesn't hurt me, and Zuresh's Full Body Cleanser and Shea Blend have taken the cake. Zuresh is a Black owned, all natural skincare company that has been around for almost 20 years, and is fronted by a husband and wife duo. My mother and father, always looking for new things to help me, discovered the company's products being sold at a table as they left a play and upon hearing that it could be used to help psoriasis and eczema (upon countless other things), got some for us all to try. …show more content…
You honestly only need a little and it lathers beautifully. The shea butter blend is very soft and easy to apply, and leaves you moisturized all day. My theory with skincare products has always been if it smells amazing, I probably shouldn't put it anywhere near me, but our first set smelled absloutely incredible and didn't irritate me at all! We purchased the scent 'Island Luv', which as a soft, fruity, tropical scent. It wasn't over powering and worked like a dream, and I'm currently on their scent 'Clean' which reminds me of fabric softner. Their products come in (1) one and (2) two pounds for the full body cleanser, and 4 ounces, 8 ounces, and 1 pound for the shea butter blend. The products are designed for full body usage, and can be used for the face, body, and hair. As the owner has Lupus, the products focus on being gentle and hydrating, and can be used to nourish eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, HIV/Aids sores and much
The bright tangerine bottle is always easy to spot in my cluttered handbag. When I click back the cap my senses are flooded with the smell of exotic fruits and tropical islands. The fragrance is slightly artificial but that is to be expected with any body cream. You can’t bottle sunshine, but the geniuses at Bath and Body Works have come pretty damn close. The moisturizer is feather light, and leaves the perfect amount of residue to ensure the hydrating effects last against the dry valley air. After applying it to my cracked elbows, I can instantly feel the soothing effects of the Shea butter sinking into my cells. The aloe returns my skin the healthy radiance of a girl who doesn’t sleep of a heater in her room.
Psoriasis is a fairly common autoimmune disease in which the body perceives the skin as foreign, and begins to attack it from within. This attack causes skin cells to reproduce rapidly, causing red, scaly patches of skin that will bleed when it becomes dry and cracked. This is a chronic illness that has no long term treatments, which means that managing flare-ups is extremely difficult. Since the majority of the world is unaware of psoriasis, people who suffer from the disease are often regarded as dirty or unclean due to the state of their skin. Many sufferers feel ostracized when doing everyday things such as going to the hair salon, swimming, or trying on clothes because the psoriasis are plainly visible to everyone in the
Psoriasis entails a lasting inflammatory skin disorder made up of raised areas of thickened skin and lesions made up of dead skin cells.

From the time of when I was a young child, I’ve always had intentions to provide care for those in need. From dressing up as a doctor and pretending to give my family a routine checkup, to watching endless hours of Grey's Anatomy, the medical field has sparked an interest for me. Dermatology has always held a spot at the top of my list. My goal is to possess my own practice, helping adults and children alike. By doing this, I hold the power to alter people’s lives through a combination of my expertise, help and care, as well as medications prescribed.
