Yes sun is extemly helpful in keeping psorasis in check, however too much sun and sunburn are terrible for your skin and make things worse. When i was first dagnosed i did UV light therapy at my dermatologists office.

I Love going to the beach and laying out for 20 minutes at a time on each side, then cool off in the water

What about going to The Beach and such for The Day? Is it Good/Bad?

Yes. Sun is very important. A sunburn can change the DNA. So be careful. 30 minutes is the most 15 minutes is the least.
