Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce have been opening up about their battles with psoriasis, a common skin condition that affects 2 to 3% of the world’s population.

Psoriasis causes the skin to turn over quickly, leaving silvery, scaly patches that can be itchy, painful, and embarrassing for those with it. These patches can appear anywhere on the body, including the scalp, nails, palms, and soles. For those dealing with psoriasis, it can be a challenging and sometimes depressing condition to manage. It can even impact your emotional and mental health, as Beyonce expressed in a recent interview with Essence magazine. She shared how her struggle with psoriasis has led her to create a new hair care line called Sacred, inspired by personal moments from her childhood.
