Welcome!
I have a bit of psoriasis on my face and on my eyelid. I use a Desonide to clear it up. However, I would not use a steroids around the eye unless you have supervision by your dermatologist.
Also, shaving soap may also be adding to your flare. Even the moisturizing soap tends to dry out your skin. You may also be allergic to the soap. Your dermatologist should know the best type of shaving soap + blade to use that may minimize your issues.
Face psoriasis is rare and typically hard to treat. An alternative medicines that might help is Protopic. Protopic is a topological used for eczema, but does work for psoriasis and can be safely used on the face for longer periods than traditional steriods. The only drawback is many people get a burning sensation when applied.
