Hannah's Story
Skin condition: Psoriasis
Prominent Location: Arms & Legs
Hannah first started experiencing psoriasis in 2019 during her second year of university, and after a particularly stressful period, a few dry spots suddenly turned into a full body flare.
“When I first developed psoriasis and it covered the majority of my skin as a 19/20-year-old student, I found it quite difficult when it came to nights out or getting dressed up with friends, I felt very self-conscious. I never really wanted to take my jacket off on a night out because I thought people would stare or avoid me”.
After being overwhelmed by the thought of using steroid cream over most of her body, Hannah sought a solution that she could easily find on the high street and build into her daily routine. This is when she found Epaderm.
“Epaderm was one of the first creams I found in supermarkets and pharmacies when I first developed psoriasis, and knowing that this brand is still there, well used and well known four years later is really nice. Knowing that it’s truly tested and used by people with skin
conditions is what makes me enjoy using the product even more.”
Hannah uses a combination of Epaderm Cream and Epaderm Ointment every day
- “My daily routine with Epaderm is I use my cream in the evening when
I’m doing my nightly routine and taking my make-up off. I will use the ointment
on my dry patches and I also use the cream during the day whilst I’m at
work as I’m able to take the travel size in my bag”.
Hannah reflected on how far she’s come on her psoriasis journey: “I’m definitely not as low mentally and emotionally
regarding my psoriasis as I used to be. I do have my moments when maybe I’m
looking at a picture of myself and I can see my elbows and I just feel like
they look horrible. But it doesn’t affect my day-to-day anymore. I think it
actually pushes me to be a better person”
Hannah’s advice to her younger self
“As much as it can be a massive pain to keep
moisturising your skin throughout the day, just take that time to yourself. Admire your skin and be thankful for the skin you’re in. It can be difficult to
love who you are when looking in the mirror and seeing a skin condition staring
back at you, but this is the skin and body that carries you through life and has got you through so much already.”
