Stay informed with the latest research on Fibromyalgia, including advancements in treatment, potential causes, and ongoing studies to improve patient care.
Why my own of course. Rationally I’m aware that there is no magic bar that’s been set for me by others. There is no invisible line of measurement being monitored for results. Nobody is judging my achievements let alone defining what those are.
Well, that’s not entirely true. There is me, and I’m quite adept at setting the bar way too high for my current physical state. I’m living a life with Fibromyalgia and I won’t cut myself any slack, nor give myself proper credit for the incredible effort I put into moving around each and every single day of my life.
Rationally, I know this. But, unfortunately, that doesn’t make it any easier to accept. Nor does it keep me from constantly nagging myself in my head. It’s exhausting, and so…
I’ve Decided to Try Living my Fibro Life One Task at a Time
Not only will I be taking it one task at a time, but I’m also going to pat myself on the back whenever I finish one. I’m switching into positive reinforcement mode, stepping away from negative mode, and becoming a cheerleader in my mind.
Today is a fibromyalgia day. Not a flare, but rather a not-so-subtle WARNING ⚠️. If I push too hard there will be consequences.
Here goes, I’m giving encouragement a whirl. Congrats self! You made your bed, swept, took a shower, and tidied the kitchen. ?
Oh, right, and I also cleaned a toilet!
Take care my chronic friends ? BTW — you’re doing a great job today ?
Hey, there fellow chronic warriors. Who else here finds themselves involuntarily rolling the dice when it comes to showering ? or as I often call it..playing Fibromyalgia shower roulette.
I love showers. Long boiling hot ? showers. They are my savior; they are my downfall. It can go either way. From one shower to the next there is no way of knowing.
The other day after a shower, I bee bopped my way energetically down the hall into my kitchen and conquered the mess. Then I tackled a few more tasks after that. Today’s shower has left me fibro suffering and totally wiped out. I’m not even dried off yet and all I can think about is crawling into bed.
I feel drained, zapped — depleted of all physical energy, and my brain is foggy.
It’s not all bad though, while I was showering, the heat provided some much-needed Fibro pain relief. Bonus! Right now I’m toasty warm, absolutely no chills in my body, and the “cold to the core of my bones” aching has eased.
That being said, I’m super tired, kind of dizzy, and need to lay down.
And so, that’s what I’m going to do. Admit defeat in today’s game of Fibromyalgia Shower Roulette, cut me some slack, and allow myself to rest up. We have an outing tonight that I’m looking forward to. I’m going to attempt a guilt-free catnap ?
The moment the words ‘get active’ escape their lips my focus shifts 100% to holding back the incredible urge to roll my eyes. For the most part, unsuccessfully.
It’s like constantly replaying the perfect vine loop of watching Groundhog Day over and over. We keep hearing how we need to get active in order to feel better. But, what people don’t understand is, we need to feel better in order to get active in the first place.
Press play and repeat day after day after day the exhausting loop plays.
For five years I spent a lot of days, months actually, beating myself up for not being active. It’s exhausting silently screaming at yourself constantly to get up and get active.
Then about a year ago I started listening to music again. Not only did the right playlist cheer me up, but often I’d catch myself bee bopping to the music.
Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t pulling off DWTS or anything. Sometimes I was simply swaying to the music or shuffling around like Tim Conway. But, I was standing and I was moving.
Which when you are battling fibromyalgia’s chronic pain, counts as getting active as far as I’m concerned. Music doesn’t always get me moving. But, it does some days and in my opinion, that’s better than no days at all.
Anyway, I remembered how much I loved going out dancing and how good it made me feel and so for a while now I’ve been working at wiggling my butt daily.
The right playlist lifts my spirits and gets me moving
I created a bunch of personal mood-lifting playlists. Each one is 6 songs and about 20 minutes long. While prepping for my shower, I press play, and more days than not the music gets me swaying. I always try to get boogieing before hopping into the shower, because I’m usually physically zapped after.
Turns out, well for me anyway, that music is good medicine. Hmmmm, who knew?
What I had to learn was, to set the bar at a realistic level for me. And, to give me credit for any and all physical activity. To encourage me to get up and just get moving instead of putting myself down because I expected my version of “getting active” to be on par with die-hard gym-goers or the people I see out jogging.
It’s time Fellow Fibro Warriors to pat yourself on the back each and every time you wiggle that butt, even if it’s ever so slightly.
Been a bad fibro flare week. Yuck! Pretty sure an infection is kicking up into high gear and heading out on its road trip through my body. Wonder which route it will take this time…
So far my eyes are looking like I had a wickedly good party, and my sinuses have started that all too familiar throb. I’m so tired that I can’t keep my eyes open, but once they flutter closed I can’t fall asleep. If I am lucky enough to finally drift off, a sound no matter how gentle startles me awake.
I sit up and try again. Rinse n’ repeat as I like to call it. Try to focus on something in front of me, and slowly the eyes begin to close. Then my chin hits my chest, head lolls to the side and I begin to drift. A bird chirps somewhere and WHAM! I’m startled awake once again.
Thanks for letting me rant. I really do try my best to keep things positive, but sometimes reality just plain and simply sucks! Especially, when you’re living with fibromyalgia. And, some days just letting go and getting it all off my chest is the best medicine. Am I right, or what?
Instead of painting on a smile and picking through a massive pile of negative for one teeny tiny itsy bitsy spark of a silver lining, sometimes it is ok to accept that there just really isn’t anything good about today except that it will inevitably turn into tomorrow.
Moan about it, groan about it and maybe even allow yourself to cry a little.
I mean, I’m not talking about allowing yourself to dive into some downward spiral where there are dangers of drowning in the deep dark depths of negativity. I just mean acknowledging that at a particular moment in time, especially during a fibro flare life is not fair and on this particular day it just plain sucks.
Misery Loves Company
Yesterday was an ok day, and I hope tomorrow will be great but today? Well, today is an awful day and I’m giving myself permission to not fake it.
I hurt everywhere and have sub-zero energy. I’m feeling miserable, and for a little while, I’m going to allow myself to sit here uncomfortably in pain and be miserable.
So for now my fibro warrior friends I leave you with a quote from I Love Lucy “WAHHHHHHHHH”!
Yippee! I write like I tweet…or is it that I tweet like I write?
Hey, wait a minute! I tweet and write as I talk. That’s it! No silly, I don’t mean messy. Sheesh. Sure I write messy but, what I’m talking about is this tendency I have to babble in verbal conversation.
When I’m writing, I simply put to paper, or screen if you will, my thoughts exactly as they are flowing. I try not to skip a beat. I try to sound in the written word exactly as if I’m talking directly to you.
It’s tough to keep up with the thoughts, especially with a pen to paper. I type quicker, but I tend to edit A LOT less when I write it. Once I start editing, the tone of free-flowing words dissipates, though spelling errors disappear. Side note – > I was pretty sure I made a spelling mistake when I wrote: “dissipates”.
What was I originally talking about? Twitter! That’s it!
Twitter and writing, or the tone of writing. Mostly what I was going to say was that I love tweeting because, with so few characters, it’s even more fun trying to be witty, and talk about having to think. If you’re looking to sound smart on Twitter, you really do have to put a lot of thought into choosing your words wisely.
That’s sometimes quite challenging. Me? Sometimes I just love a challenge.
Instagram is for me. It’s the place I like to be ?
Joint health concerns are not uncommon for those with fibromyalgia and many have joint involvement of some kind.
More people with fibro are exhibiting joint or bone density issues and a tendency towards any of the various forms of arthritis.
Effectively treating joint issues requires addressing all areas, including diet, movement, lifestyle, and better sleep strategies.
Joint involvement or joint disease can vary in degree depending on history, ongoing deficiency and active TRP’s (trigger points) that can ‘pull’ on and exacerbate the integrity of joints.
In fact, many of the fibromyalgia TRP’s are located in close proximity to joints used within daily range of motion such as knee, hip and shoulder joints.
FEELING ALL FLARED UP ?
Although various aspects of fibromyalgia are not inflammatory in nature, any form of arthritis that often accompanies fibro is an inflammatory condition as well as a perpetuating factor within fibromyalgia.
And, inflammation often coincides with many co-conditions and/or digestive illness.
When working to strengthen joints, we are also working on the surrounding areas including tendons, ligaments and muscle.
For instance, in osteoarthritis, the joints can become out of alignment through wear, injury, active TRP’s (trigger points) or inadequate muscle strength.
In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammation is more active due to the body attacking itself as an ‘auto immune’ response.
Yet, In all cases of arthritis, the inflammation, TRP’s, myofascial constriction and any deficiency need to be addressed.
ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living) can be more challenging for people with joint related pain. We talk often about the differences between these activities of daily living that can sometimes be detrimental and the focused exercises that strengthen and create greater agility within the body.
This is essential to understand and remember. For example, while leaning down to clean a bathtub may be nearly impossible with painful joints, participating in focused exercises can be done by most people.
Safe and effective exercise
As a practitioner and trainer living with and specializing in fibromyalgia, I get it, I will never tell you to just “go exercise” I want you to have the best tools.
Because joint pain can be debilitating, we need to be sure we are keeping our activity safe and effective.
I always recommend using variety in your activities to avoid repetition and stress on joints.
For instance, we use the bike for increasing strength around the knee, but only in short increments, like 3-5 minutes. We also want just enough intensity to get the blood flowing around those joints. Blood flow will help to decrease pain.
For joint health, it is essential to focus on increasing musclestrength whenever possible. Joints and muscle support each other.
Joints are strengthened through daily strength applications, starting with body weight exercises and progressing to light to moderate weight training.
Using weights that strap around the ankle/lower leg area can be very effective when working to strengthen knees and ankles.
Exercises such as leg lifts or lying on a raised platform using ankle weights can be done safely even for those who cannot get down on the floor. A bed can also be used.
We also use light compression wear around vulnerable areas like the knees, feet (nerve pain) and shoulders. We find Copper Wear helpful.
Experiment with different compression wear until you find brands that help you and feel comfortable for every day wear. Compression is essential for increasing blood flow while protecting joints and muscles.
What about nutritional support for joints?
We have experimented with various remedies for joint health over the years. We have found a few that seem to be more effective over long term use.
Hyaluronic acid, Strontium, Collagen (Great Lakes brand) Fish oils, CLO (Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil), Glucosamine, Biosil liquid, and FG’s Joint Jello as shown below.
I also like MSM for joints, hair and skin. Although I am not linking one here, as I have found many good brands out there, including Jarrow for MSM.
Additionally, I use and recommend Boswelia for natural anti-inflammation and respiratory support. The Savesta brand is a good potency.
And I especially like the Krill Healthy Joint Formula shown below: Be sure whatever brand you take is of good quality.
Krill Healthy Joint Formula, a patented combination of krill oil, hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin. Research has shown krill oil to be especially effective for joint health.
Hyaluronic acid (found naturally in joints) lubricates and cushions joints, supports cartilage and soft tissue. This form of HA combined with krill oil has been found to be better absorbed as well.
Krill oil, a natural source of astaxanthin, suppresses free radicals, can reduce inflammation and enhances mitochondrial function, making this a perfect supplement for fibromyalgia and joint health alike.
Do you want an easy and fun way to get heal-thy collagen into your diet? How about a healthy jello that tastes good and helps to nourish not only your joints, but skin, hair and nails as well..
This jello recipe can be made as low glycemic as needed OR with full strength juice, depending on your dietary needs.
My recipe is a lower glycemic version to keep the natural sugar content low.

Our skeletal system is the ‘foundation‘ of our bodies. Everything we put into our bodies must go through the process of digestion and this can affect bone and joint nourishment. How and when we sleep also affects the integrity of our bones and joints; create a lifestyle that supports this foundation while supporting a more functional life with fibromyalgia at the same time.
In FM patients unwavering sympathetic hyperactivity is linked with an unwavering sympathetical response to different stressors by day described by Dysautonomia.
The researcher says, that the autonomous nervous system (ANS) seems to be the focus of the health upsurge week. This research incorporates the autonomous nervous system and pulmonary function a problem that I am not conscious of in fibromyalgia.
Typically, people are not associated with pulmonary problems, but they sometimes develop–especially in ME / CFS. Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Because some individuals have “air starvation” or trouble breathing or taking profound breaths. Therefore some studies show that some ME / CFS patients may experience decreased air circulation in and out of the lung during practice. Staci Stevens, a physiologist for the practice, has questioned the possibility of affecting tiny and extremely active muscles engaged in breathing.
Lung problems may not be the main symptoms of FM, but lung problems can tell if they are another expression of autonomy nervous system problems.
The authors have rapidly reached the core of this document. They indicated that a friendly nervous (SNS) system fibromyalgia is hyperactive at rest, but when you get stressed it folds down or crashes; i.e. you’re wired and tired at’ rest’ some rest.
How have the lungs been linked with fibromyalgia? Diabetes was used. In association with fibromyalgia, diabetes is not discussed much but the writers have mentioned a comparable ANS issue in diabetes which leads to blood vessel supply issues in the very tiny (microvascular) vessels of the lungs. This causes the diffusion of carbon monoxide from the lungs to cause problems in diabetes.
This seems to be the same thing that happens in FM.
However, they have taken 45 FM patients and 45 controls and performed several experiments with the autonomous nervous system, the volume of the lung, and gas transfer, with the transmission factor measuring the lung’s ability to disseminate carbon monoxide. They also have a questionnaire called the Composite Auto Symptom Score or COMPASS that is autonomous to them.
The abnormal pattern of reactive hyperemia is caused by higher compatibility leading to enhanced blood constriction. FM patients suffer from functional microcirculation and morphological abnormalities.
The authors note that the autonomous questionnaire (COMPASS) values of fibromyalgia were strongly correlated to those in the questionnaire of fibromyalgia effects (FIQ). That proposed a number of FM symptoms could result from the autonomic nervous system issue.
The lungs of FM’s patients weren’t so nice. Total lung size was good, but all measurements of the functioning of the lungs were significantly reduced in patients with fibromyalgia (carbon monoxide transfer factor, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, capillary membrane size of alveolar and pulmonary capillary blood sizes).
Further testing has discovered that the decreased ability of lung diffusion is likely owing to a significant reduction in lung capillary volume; i.e. the FM pulmonary patients ‘ microvascular volume decreased.
Similarly, our capillaries are accountable for the blood delivery to most of our tissues, both the lowest and most frequent blood vessels. Because they are so small that they can’t fit a red blood cell. So, they also allow tiny molecules such as oxygen, CO2, sugars, and amino acids to spread in and from them, as they provide red blood cells. This portion of the distribution does not seem to work very well.
The writers proposed that harm to cardiovascular autonomy causes issues with microvascular tone regulation and pulmonary fill distribution. They suggested that the receptors in our cells that cause. FM patients have been over-stimulated over time to dilate the blood vessels in order to avoid reacting to dilatory signals. It may decrease blood vessels, impair blood flow, and even, I believe, may decrease blood volume.
The writers have identified several conclusions that FM would not be surprising with circulation issues. Reduced production of nitric oxide prevents the opening up of the blood vessels in FM patients in sufficient quantity, thereby preventing blood vessels from opening up and causing arterial wall rigidity.
The respondents in the FM research also observed the elevated levels of Raynaud’s events (1/3rd). Raynaud occurs when spasms in the arteries usually reduce blood flow to hands or feet, which usually turn white, blue, and then return blood, causing the fingers or toes to tingle or burn. Often this is due to low-temperature exposure. Reynaud can occur in certain persons who are subjected to temperatures below 60 degrees.
Given the comparable sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity discovered in Raynaud, the reality that the FM patients with the Raynaud events tended to have poorer pulmonary test outcomes made sense. However Local hyperactivity is so severe that the blood vessels are vasoconstriction or decreased enough to avoid blood transmission, and this does not influence the least blood vessel in the lung system.
Raynaud’s seems to be another manifestation of an FM autonomous dysregulated system.
However, the writers have spent no time on the clinical importance of their conclusions and what they are is not apparent from the document. The reduced diffusion of carbon dioxide is discovered both in several pulmonary conditions (fibrosis, alveolitis, vasculitis, COPD, emphysema, hypertension) and in anemia (small volume of blood). Therefore it is not apparent whether they will add to breathlessness or respiratory issue in ME / CFS or FM or whether they represent an issue that exists but is not causing many symptoms.
However, this is not the first time that FM has developed feasible microcirculatory issues. So, the writers of a 2014 research suggested that the low VO2 Maximum FM results in FM patients can lead to microcirculation issues. Because they asserted that in the next FM exercise research, blood flows in tiny blood vessels that feed muscles would be examined.
These writers suggested that autonomous nerves are likely to suffer as a result of stubborn lung function. Autonomy nerves damage shown by fibromyalgia.
The loss of nerve fibers in the eye was widespread last year. Therefore, in FM Sommers have discovered a pattern so uncommon in nerve damage that now it is called “tiny pathology of fiber” to differentiate between smaller fiber neuropathy in other conditions. Because the FM also caused harm in the core and winters to big nerve fibers.
So about a year ago, a scientist proposed that the more deeply scientists are susceptible to finding nerves. Above all her forecast seems to come true. Fibromyalgia develops from the skin to the eyes and perhaps lung nerve issues.
Therefore how could these nerve issues be caused? Because if the skin results of a Spanish group contain inflammation, mitochondrial issues, and oxidative stress, the fact may be supplementary.
“I have a problem overly sweat without explanation, like stepping out the shower, drinking water, wearing clothes! It’s a large damper on my way of life.” “They get so cold and painful in my limbs, and my face is going to sweat from the heat inside. I don’t bother wearing make-up in the summer because it doesn’t make sense, it’s just dissolving.’ These are all commentaries from individuals with fibromyalgia and severe tiredness.
Excessive sweating is one of these odd symptoms which rarely appears on the list of symptoms or catches researchers ‘ attention.
We have many more problems, so it is comprehensible. Your life can still be heavily impaired.
While doctors and researchers have noticed excessive pulse symptoms, you may want to talk with your doctor about a complicated regional pulmonary syndrome. There are similar symptoms and some research shows that excessive sweating can be more frequent in this situation.
The only reason ‘ curable ‘ is the side action of the medicine. If you are doing more good than damage, that may not be an appealing choice. You can have medication thoughts for your doctor that assist sweat control.
You may want to maintain certain products on the table if you have to live with this symptom so that it is not evident and embarrassing.
Powder on your face can assist to absorb sweat before you realize it is present. Loose powders: You can also apply this to ensure that you are not shiny after washing your skin sweat.
Face wipes that absorb oil may also prevent you from getting fat-looking skin. They are better than napkins or tissues, which operate in a pinch but can be both less efficient and worse for your skin.
Dress shields and sweat pads can assist absorb sweat before it gets soaked. A menstrual pad can work better for particularly heavy sweat.
Clothing with sweat absorption can be a nice choice for you too. However, they can be more costly.
An owner of a hat or ponytail can assist cover hair disasters related to sweat. Maybe you have to maintain your vehicle, pouch, locker, desk, or another convenient location with a stash of more clothes.
Perhaps you cannot avoid sweating when you are linked to any specific stimulus. But you might discover that some of these factors are reducing our issue if it is linked to heat and in particular our tending to overheat.
A few more times during the day, additional antiperspirant is applied and may be used in non-typical locations where you tend to sweat a lot.
You can avoid being overheated and swimming by taking cooler baths or showers or flowing cooler water across your body before you get out.
Especially when you’re cold, you’re often too warmly dressed for the setting. Layer dressing offers you more choices for temperature control.
It can assist to choose cold beverages over warm beverages
and avoid hot food.
It may be hard to stop once sweating begins. First of all, you better try to avoid this.
One significant thing is to ensure that you’re hydrated with
excessive sweating. The water and the electrolytes that you sweat out must be
replaced. Minerals, including
We are aware that fibromyalgia seems strongly related to autoimmune disease, which is when a healthy tissue attacks the body’s immune system. Autoimmune illness can sometimes be fatal because of glomerulonephritis. This is why, when you are having fibromyalgia, it is essential to be conscious of how to handle the autoimmune conditions.
The complication of autoimmune disease, which can cause a loss of kidney function, is glomerulonephritis. In essence, anti-corps begin to attack your healthy tissue instead of bacteria and viruses, which are normally targeting your body’s immune system. This inflammation and damage of the tissue. This is the root of lupus circumstances. And if this inflammation happens in the kidneys in instances of glomerulonephritis.
The inflammation causes harm to your kidneys over time and leads to scar tissue development. This makes the renal function of filtering out toxins in the blood hard for the kidney. And it can be deadly ultimately.
Typically, the first signs are in the urine. Above all the composition of red blood cells in the kidneys can make your urine purple or dark. Or because of an excess of protein, it can be frothy. Moreover, your face or limbs can swell as your body retains water which is unable to pass through your kidneys.
Therefore if you demonstrate any of these indications, it is essential to see a physician right away. Because in order to prevent further harm, early detection is essential. Therefore you should be conscious of fibromyalgia that you are at greater danger for autoimmune diseases that can affect your kidneys.
We understand individuals with fibromyalgia are more likely than other individuals to develop autoimmune conditions. Many have suggested that it can lead to the autoimmune condition of fibromyalgia itself. But it may not be the case for a few reasons. However.
First, there are no high levels of antibodies in the blood in individuals with fibromyalgia, generally involving autoimmune conditions. This indicates that the disease is not associated with the immune system.
Second, fibromyalgia does not cause the same inflammation as autoimmune. This implies somebody with fibromyalgia will not spontaneously develop glomerulonephritis. However, they are still in danger of an auto-immune disease.
However we don’t understand for sure why, but it could be related to the mental stress of individuals suffering from fibromyalgia. So, Chronic stress and depression result from fibromyalgia. Your risks of autoimmune conditions are increased by this kind of mental distress. Thus, it can assist avoid the growth of autoimmune disease if we find a way to deal with fibromyalgia depression.
However, if you already have autoimmune glomerulonephritis,
some things can be done.
The first thing that can lead to further harm is to reduce inflammation. It’s generally done by physicians using some distinct medicines.
The first is a sort of medication known as NSAIDs or non-steroidal medicines. This sort of medication contains items such as aspirin and ibuprofen. They operate by preventing the development of inflammatory enzymes. And they can assist to reduce pain as well.
Corticosteroids are the second form. Because the body is naturally producing a hormone in reaction to inflammation. However, if the natural output is not enough, your doctor may also order synthetic corticosteroids.
Finally, a medicine called an immunosuppressant could be produced for you. These medicines operate by reducing the output of tissue attacking anti-corps.
But you may need to undergo dialysis if the harm to your kidneys is too advanced. Therefore a dialysis machine operates by filtering and placing your blood back into your body to perform the same role as your kidney. But for the remainder of your lives, you probably have to be on dialysis, without a kidney transplant. Because this operation includes the transplantation of a compatible donor kidney to substitute your corrupted kidney.
We often believe of muscle pain, tiredness, sleep problems, digestive conditions and problems of the mood when thinking about fibromyalgia. However, many people with fibromyalgia also cope with rashes and other modifications in skin that can be distressing and unpleasant.
Fibromyalgia is diagnosed in as many as 50-80% of people with skin issues, including rashes. These rashes can make you feel discomfort able, awkward, or unattractive with your clothes.
Fibromyalgia syndrome is typically a red rash that can be flat or raised and hollow. Itchiness, sorrow, or a crawling feeling are sometimes present.
The precise cause of fibromyalgia rash is unknown, but researchers suggest that fibromyalgia is causing a skin-sensitive immune reaction. Histamine (a chemical engaged in itchiness and skin sensitivity) and heparin (a blood-diluent substance that encourages bluetongue) is released.
If so, antihistamine (both tablet-shaped or topically applied) may be helpful. In other cases, the rash can be an allergic drug reaction. Your doctor can assess this and either modify the drug or suggest a mild hydration cream (such as Sudocreams).
In addition to rashes, patients with fibromyalgia tend to have sick skin (which makes rashes and itches worse), particularly in their hands and fingers. Skin injuries tend to cure slowly and the sensitivity to touch and pressure are also recorded.
Another underlying issue may also appear in skin rashes: lupus. Lupus may also be called SLE because of comparable symptoms, which may be fibromyalgia.
Finding the cause of the rash is a good first step. As you can see, various causes (allergic reaction to drugs, dry skin, excessive production of histamine and heparin) need to be treated differently.
Drink enough water. Your entire body must be well-hydrated to remain healthy, including your skin. Consider a urine test: If your urine is either white or light yellow, this implies you have a good hydration instead of counting a certain amount of glasses of water you should drink each day. It implies you are not drinking enough when it’s dark yellow and need to increase your water supply.
Use the cream every day on your skin. Extra creams (hands and fingers) might need to be put on your dry regions. Select natural, artificial colors or fragrance-free creams (which also can irritate the skin).
You can use sunscreen. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater when you spend time outdoors.
Eathealthily. As healthy as your entire body is, your skin will. Avoid quick foods and eat plenty of fruit and plants, lean and fish meats, nuts, seeds, and cereals.
