• Check ingredients carefully as some products may contain irritants
• Stop using if you experience increased itching, redness, blisters, swelling or other reactions
• Consult your dermatologist before starting any new skin care products to ensure they won't interact with prescribed treatments
• Look for products with the National Psoriasis Foundation's Seal of Recognition, which indicates they are safe and non-irritating for psoriasis
