Losterin shampoo has come to me so that for several years I have never washed my hair with any other means. I have been struggling with psoriasis for a long time, and particular problems arise with plaques in the hair, which have already developed many complexes. In the cold season, I used to wear a hat, literally without taking it off, but in summer it is not always possible. Some, even good acquaintances, thought it was dandruff and they said right in the eyes that I needed a good shampoo. I could not explain to everyone that this is far from dandruff. Yes, and plaques in the hair, as on any other parts of the body, itching very much, hurt and even bleeding. I smeared my head with the same ointments and creams that other parts of the body, but they didn’t absorb so well, and I had to wash my head often. And after washing with ordinary shampoo, irritation reappeared. In general, I suffered a lot until I found out about Losterin. After washing the head with this shampoo, the symptoms of psoriasis are not only not aggravated, but also begin to pass. Great tool!
I use a whole series of drugs Losterin. I apply both cream, and shower gel, and soap for hands, and shampoo. What can I say, the series is really effective in the fight against psoriasis. At least, I managed to achieve a long remission, which I could not do before. For almost a year now, I haven’t got new plaques. The cream is used when I know that an aggravation can begin. For example, I have already noticed that dieting plays a big role. It can be very difficult to do this, so after a breakdown, even a small one, I begin to actively apply the cream. It is applied in a thin layer, so it lasts a long time. As soon as I see that a new plaque appears on some part of the skin, I immediately begin to process it three times a day. The result is great! I use the rest of the Losterin series every day. I simply do not use regular shower gels, hand soap and shampoos. Some write that the cost of Loosterin is too high, but I can assure you that if you compare it with its counterparts, it is not the most expensive drug. High efficiency justifies all costs.
I tried many different medications until I found out about the Losterin series. She suddenly fell ill with psoriasis and did not even understand what was happening. At first I thought it was a normal allergy, then I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed. But none of the doctors was able to determine the cause of the disease. Most likely, I have a genetic predisposition, but it so happened that I don’t know my relatives, so I can’t confirm. New plaques appeared constantly. I had only to cure the old, remove the inflammation, reduce the peeling, as the next focus immediately appeared. Once I was at a consultation with a dermatologist, who carefully examined the skin on different parts of the body and said that excessive dryness can provoke an ongoing exacerbation. Then he advised me to try a series of drugs Losterin. They are very simple to use, and the shower gel, and shampoo, and hand soap are easy to apply and wash off. Cream smear very dry skin. I supplement all this with a strict diet. I am very glad that such preventive measures help me to avoid new exacerbations and advise everyone to try Losterin.
