I have guttate psoriasis and have tried every kind of treatment you could think of! I have just learned to live with it as there is not much I can do. I do wear fake tan because I do not like sunbeds. Anytime I wear fake tan though, I get these white circles around my patches and it also makes them darker on the inside. I know it would be better to not wear it but I hateeee pale skin!! Does anyone have any faketan tips to stop this?? Hope to hear your answers!! Thanks :)

I am so sorry to hear that!!! my only advice to you is to stop using fake tanning products....they will eventually cause you more flare ups which is the last thing you need. Go under the sun everyday for 30 minutes you will tan and get vitamin D to

I heard that Cocoa Brown is a great fake tanning product for psoriasis suffers. http://www.cocoabrown.ie/professional-spray-tanning/ The lady who started it has psoriasis (I think). So might be worth checking out.

Yes!! It has taken me years, but I have finally found a fake tan that doesn't cling to my psoriasis and leave a white ring. It's the bondi sands everyday tanning lotion, about £12 from boots/Superdrug. Unfortunately it isn't instant (but I'm sure you can live with that with the results you'll get). I never thought I'd be able to fake tan, but I promise you won't regret this purchase. I'm thinking about starting a blog with psoriasis tips and tricks because I have found a few hacks! Ellis xx

Since 2001, tried uvb and creams

Have you tried Sally Henson fake tan very good. Get it from superdrug or boots

Has psoriasis since 2001

Has anyone tried garnier summer body? Iv just bought it as I thought it would be good to get a little tan before an occasion. Iv never put fake tan on before but after reading it doesn't always go well with psoriasis thought I would check if this is a good one to try?

have had p for too many years

I have tried fake tan and it just looks awful. It seems to make the psoriasis look more noticeable.

Bondi sands I love to use. Obviously the patches go darker after applying but once showered off it actually leaves my my skills lovely and smooth due to the moisturiser in there. One thing I would like advice on is shaving!! Always dread shaving my legs as I end up bleeding on the patches of psoriasis!! Any tips? Thanks x

Thanks for replying, glad I am not the only one!! I tried cocoa brown & it has been the best one yet but it does dry out my skin so I just use a oil free cream for after! Hope this helps girls xx

i go out almost every weekend and cannot bare to be pale!! i have tried at least 10 different tans, but the one i reach for now is a free sample its called "crazy angel tan" which is an english company and it is a spray tan solution which i have also decided to order online because without it id be leave with dark rings around my arms. what i normally do is put it on the night before and the morning after i exfoliate it and the dark rings are washed away and your left with a smooth finish i also moisturise over this, after reading all about bondi sands im dying to try that out too after all my other failed attempts!!

Had psoriasis for 10 years on hands, legs and elbows now on my face

I used Vesper Spray Tan machine. I get the white ring round psoriasis too. I must say tho don’t know if it’s the fake tan or moisture’s but my psoriasis is much better every time I use the machine. I’m going to go weekly see if it continues to help.

sally Hansen instant is amazing!! I also use the Garnier Ambre solaire gel as the moisture in it covers well. :)

Oh god girls my legs are looking bad from the tan & psoriasis Wish I could show pictures on this! Anyone got new tips ?

When I use fake tan, I get a bit of cotton wool and wipe it off my patches of psoriasis before it dries. I then put moisturiser on my patches too. I find that really makes a difference. Only problem I have is that in winter I get lots of tiny patches on my upper arms therefore can't wipe it off every single patch and end up wearing something with sleeves to cover up.

Hi girls, I suffer from psoriasis patches on my legs and when I tan I get white circles around them. I tried using my enstilar then wrap in cling film, it made the dry area very smooth & soft but then I thought I should try coconut oil and omg the patch is nearly gone!! Can just see the outline of where it was before

I have spots of psoriasis on my lower back. I make all the cosmetics myself, including tanning products. There are no harmful substances that harm the skin. How to make it possible to see here https://www.tanoholic.com/diy-lotions-oils/
