Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, was a product millions of us were raised to believe is good. It was only in the 1980's that it became clear how many problems Vaseline and even clinically "pure" petrolatum were causing or exacerbating. Without the best information at hand, it is unlikely that you, or any of us, can make better decisions, another foundation and feature of the Doctor David Cohen Zen : ALWAYS stretching the mind, to keep it young, fit, and best-informed.

Petroleum products are not from the ground, and cannot yield benefits, certainly not long-term benefits, to living creatures. The Doctor David Cohen Zen does not support the long-term use of any petroleum product in or on the body.

At risk of being annoyingly repetitive, the Doctor David Cohen Zen pushes hard the reminder that skin must be wet before removing excess skin, because it's the only safe to separate it from normal skin. You must have water.

Tap water, bottled water, well water... just make sure it's fresh water. Everyone seems to have their own favorite way of doing so. Splashing it on, rubbing it on, soaking it in, just make sure that the affected area is plenty wet, enough for the water to really soak the area.

2) BEFORE YOUR SKIN GOES COMPLETELY DRY AGAIN, rub in small amounts of good, clean, organic oil of most any type. The Doctor David Cohen Zen might put extra weight in consideration of extra virgin coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and others. The oil won't be on your skin all that long, since a few minutes in the sun is often enough to soak into your skin. If not, feel free to dab off excess when you finish getting some sunshine. The less you use, the better it works. the more you rub it in (up to complete absorption) the better it works. It's important to know that the more you use per application, the less benefit it brings. You will NOT ruin your clothes because your skin is going to absorb all or nearly all of it.

If you have more than a square inch or two of affected area, you'll notice that, by the time you complete the task, the area you started in feels sort of dry again. RIGHT NOW, WHILE It's STILL PARTIALLY MOIST, rub another drop or two into that area, again, rubbing it in thoroughly.

NOTE: Most products touted as being good for skin actually contain perfumes, artificial ingredients, mineral oils, and other substances that cannot truthfully be said to benefit humans.

Mineral oil, for example, is wonderful for oiling machinery or wood. Mineral oil is decidedly bad for human skin. Avoid it. Water, and oil. How simple can it be? Relief is rapid, and sustained when you maintain the regimen, although it certainly does not have to be at the same time of day.

Every hour you breathe, your skin gets drier. At night, you are not drinking water, or oil, so your skin is going to be particularly dry when you wake up, and more so if the affected area or areas are touching and rubbing against absorbent sheets, blankets, etc. That's one reason it's so smart to drink water within seconds of awakening.

Water, then modest amounts of oil; good, clean natural oils, whether it's olive oil or coconut oil, etc. Just make CERTAIN that the oil is unheated. "Raw" does not mean much in these days where deception is routine and unchecked, particularly corporate deception with respect to so many nationally-advertising corporations. Many products touted as "raw" are, in fact, processed with heat. Oil, including olive oil, which has been pre-heated before you even buy it, is NOT healthy oil. Heat literally cooks out the health-sustaining enzymes in the oil, so you might need to work a bit to find yourself a good source of raw and unheated coconut oil or extra-virgin olice oil. It's well worth it, so do as you can to secure a reliable supply, and perhaps buy a bit extra to store safely in a cool place so that you will have a decent enough supply that you only need to make occasional purchases.

The idea is to do the work in advance that will save you time, money, and effort until you truly eliminate this annoying health challenge.

It is nothing more or less than a daily habit: Water, and oil, rubbed in comprehensively... and a bit of sunlight.

Follow this procedure no less than twice per day. If you have really bad psoriasis, do it three or four or even five times per day. Within a few days, a week at the most, at least eighty percent of your problem will have gone down to little or zero, as you shall soon see for yourself.

Within a far maximum of 15 – 20 days, you will notice that your symptoms are just a bare fraction of what they were at the beginning of the method, at which point you can now go back to doing it just once per day. You can further accelerate the process dramatically, and also put the affliction into total remission with ultraviolet.

Contrary to the claims of decidedly un- or under-educated scientists who insist that the sun causes premature skin aging and skin cancer, the truth is, the sun causes premature skin aging and skin cancer to skin that is not properly treated. It is a perfect, undeniable fact that the rays of the sun are healthy, curative, energizing, loaded with important vitamins such as E and K... provided that the skin is treated properly.
