The beauty and aptitude of eyes to put across, beholder's attitude towards outside world have been praised all through the centuries. Eyes express the true emotions of its beholders even before they try to hide it. However there is good news for today's generation who want to appear unique in each aspect of life and try the latest styles in fashion.
Your lips are one of the sensitive parts in your body. However being exposed to the open air and many beauty treatments, they may lack their natural charm. It first occurs as the loss of the elasticity of lips, due to aging. The exposure to sun and the open air may also make them dry and chapped.

The lip caring formula in the lip conditioners hydrates, comforts and protects your lips, day and night. Majority of the lip conditioners include SPF 15 sunscreen plus Vitamins C and E. These ingredients protect your lips from UVA/UVB rays of sun. The firming techniques in the lip conditioners ensure the elasticity of the lips for a fuller look.
Most of the lip conditioners contain shea butter that hydrates, smoothes and soothes the lips. This lightweight conditioner for the lip is invariably formulated with SPF 15. This ingredient protects the lips from mild aggressions. Unlike many of the other lip creams, lip conditioners hold in moisture and provide gentle repair to dry lips.
Lip conditioners are usually colour free. In that case, those who hesitate to add colour to their charming lips, can use it. Lip conditioners are coming in a variety of flavours like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate etc. The main ingredients of lip conditioners are almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract, wheat germ oil, vitamins A and E.

The method to wear lip conditioners requires no special talent. You can wear lip conditioners under lipstick as a moisturizing base coat. If you are not comfortable with lip conditioners while going out, wear it overnight as an intensive moisture treatment. Now, condition your lips as never before!

Re: [CosmeticLab] Re: fibromalgia

David
Thank you so much for this valuable information. My daughter is the one that has fibromalgia. She has been diagnosed with it and it seems all the doctors do is prescribe
those awful drugs.
I will surely let you know how she progresses.
Thanks again and
God bless
Betty

Hello Betty,

Here's some info that might help:

These Substances may Alleviate Fibromyalgia

• Alkaloids
o Capsaicin (applied topically) may alleviate the Musculoskeletal Pain
associated with Fibromyalgia.

• Amino Acids
o 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptopha n) (50 - 300 mg per day (or night)) may
alleviate Fibromyalgia.
o Fibromyalgia patients generally have significantly lower levels of
Creatine than healthy people (and supplemental Creatine Monohydrate
may help to restore endogenous Creatine levels to normal in
Fibromyalgia patients) - studies to determine whether supplemental
Creatine Monohydrate could alleviate Fibromyalgia have not yet been
performed.
o Fibromyalgia patients often exhibit significantly lower plasma
Histidine levels compared to normal subjects.
o Phenylalanine (L-Phenylalanine form) may improve the condition of
Fibromyalgia patients (according to anecdotal reports).
o Supplemental S-Adenosylmethionin e (SAMe) (800 mg per day or more)
may alleviate Fibromyalgia.
- Specific improvements in the symptoms of Fibromyalgia caused by SAMe
therapy may include a significant reduction in the number of trigger
points, reduction in Fatigue, reduction in morning stiffness and
improvements in Mood.
o Fibromyalgia patients often exhibit significantly lower plasma
Serine levels compared to normal subjects.
o Fibromyalgia patients often exhibit decreased Tryptophan transport
mechanisms and usually exhibit significantly lowered Tryptophan levels
(indicating that supplemental Tryptophan may be of benefit to
Fibromyalgia patients).

• Auxins
o Ascorbigen may alleviate the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
o Preliminary reports indicate that Indole-3-Carbinol may alleviate
some of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

• Carbohydrates
o Hyaluronic Acid (consumed orally) is claimed to alleviate Fibromyalgia.
o Ribose may improve the condition of Fibromyalgia patients.

• Coenzymes
o NADH may alleviate some cases of Fibromyalgia.

• Hormones
o DHEA (Dehydroepiandroste rone) may alleviate many of the symptoms of
Fibromyalgia.
o Melatonin may help to correct the impairment of Slow Wave Sleep
(deep Sleep) experienced by Fibromyalgia patients.
o Progesterone may alleviate some cases of Fibromyalgia (according to
anecdotal reports).
o Relaxin may alleviate the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Relaxin
depletion is speculated to be an underlying cause of Fibromyalgia.
o One theory of the cause of Fibromyalgia states that it occurs as a
result of a state of hypometabolism in the body's Cells that can be
corrected by supplementation with exogenous Triiodothyronine (T3)
combined with regular Aerobic Exercise. Clinical studies have
demonstrated that 75 - 150 micrograms per day of exogenous
Triiodothyronine may cure some cases of Fibromyalgia. Part of the
effectiveness of Triiodothyronine may occur from it lowering elevated
levels of Substance P in Fibromyalgia patients.

• Lipids
o Cetyl Myristoleate (CMO) may alleviate the Inflammation of the
Joints associated with Fibromyalgia.

• Minerals
o Lithium may be useful for the treatment of Fibromyalgia.
o Magnesium deficiency within Muscle Fibers is speculated to be a
factor in the development of Fibromyalgia:
- Daily supplementation of 300 - 600 mg of Magnesium (especially from
the Magnesium Malate form) may result in significant improvements in
the number of tender points in Fibromyalgia patients.
- Some researchers speculate that this improvement results from the
Malic Acid content of Magnesium Malate rather than the Magnesium
content, although there is also evidence that Magnesium contributes
significantly to the effectiveness of Magnesium Malate.
- Fibromyalgia patients are often found to have low Phosphorus
(Phosphate) levels.

• Organic Acids
o Malic Acid ((2,400 mg per day combined with 600 mg of Magnesium) may
cause improvement in the number of tender points in Fibromyalgia patients.

• Pharmaceutical Drugs
o Guaifenesin may alleviate Fibromyalgia.

• Polyphenols
o Oleuropein may alleviate Fibromyalgia (according to the observations
of many physicians).

• Quinones
o Coenzyme Q10 (200 mg per day) may improve the quality of life of
Fibromyalgia patients.

• Smart Drugs
o Gamma-Hydroxybutyri c Acid (GHB) may alleviate Fibromyalgia (caution:
this is a banned substance in most regions of the world).

• Sulfuric Compounds
o Methylsulfonylmetha ne (MSM) is speculated to be a useful treatment
for Fibromyalgia.

• Vitamins
o Fibromyalgia patients often have abnormally low Vitamin B12 levels
(indicating that supplemental Vitamin B12 may be useful for the
treatment of Fibromyalgia) .
o Many Fibromyalgia patients often have abnormally low Vitamin D
levels (indicating that restoring Vitamin D levels to normal in these
patients may be beneficial for the treatment of Fibromyalgia) .
o Vitamin E may be useful for the treatment of Fibromyalgia.

• Algae
o Chlorella may reduce the Pain associated with Fibromyalgia and may
improve the "quality of life" of Fibromyalgia patients.

• Herbs
o Aloe vera (consumed orally) may alleviate the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
o Ginkgo biloba may improve the quality of life of Fibromyalgia patients.
o Olive Leaf may alleviate many of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia
(primarily due to the Oleeuropein content of Olive Leaf) (according to
the observations of some physicians).
o Saint John's Wort may alleviate some of the symptoms (Pain) of
Fibromyalgia (primarily due to the ability of Saint John's Wort to
increase Brain Serotonin levels).
