How to apply Psoria-Gold® curcumin gel:
This is used every night after the bath/shower. Because the psoriatic scales are porous (full of air-filled holes), these prevent the curcumin gel from penetrating through and under the psoriatic scales. The following method will help the curcumin gel penetrate the psoriatic scales and improve results:
Soak the psoriatic scales with rubbing alcohol so that the scales no longer have a white appearance, then massage the curcumin gel into the wet alcohol. The wet alcohol will help the curcumin gel through and under the psoriatic scales. Curcumin gel is only soluble in alcohol but not water, so that water cannot be used as a substitute. The two elements for success is the pretreatment with alcohol, and then MASSAGING the curcumin gel into the wet alcohol. DO NOT ALLOW THE ALCOHOL TO DRY OUT BEFORE MASSAGING IN THE CURCUMIN GEL, OR THE AIR BUBBLES WILL REFORM AND PREVENT THE PENETRATION OF CURCUMIN GEL THROUGH THE SCALES. Use a clean cotton swab tip to transfer the curcumin gel onto the skin. Do not "double dip" in order to keep the gel sterile. Remember to close the lid of the jar tightly after use.
