[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel the same. I have no solution but here is what I am doing:

- Diversified my workouts to include pilates/yoga. I otherwise play tennis and walk (with friends - that helps my mood, too).

- Get my roots colored every 4 weeks, and my hair stylist has lightened the overall color so the roots blend a little better.

- My hair is SO dry and thin now, and also frizzy and always seems to have frizzy flyaways. I treat myself to a blow out any time I am going out. I may invest in a dyson air wrap. I would love to recommend hair products but haven’t found any miracle workers.

- I use a whitening toothpaste. I am nervous to do professional bleaching bc my teeth are already sensitive. I rub trentinoin right up to my lip line (see my skin care point below), and use laneige lip treatment on my lips and beyond the line.

- As a further rub to my thinning head hair, I have so many facial hair now, both overal fuzz and dark hairs around my mouth and chin (I never used!). I meticulously use one of those tinkle razors every Sunday night.

- I get regular manicures. At least one part of me looks groomed!

- Like PP said, I use body oil after the shower, especially on my chest, arms, above my knees.

- I follow a better facial routine - haven’t seen the benefits yet, but am hoping it at least will slow the progression :-) In the evenings, I use trentinoin and a good nighttime moisturizer.

- I drink a lot of water, switched to decaffeinated coffee and tea, and try to get a good night’s sleep (it is hard!).

I have so many skin lumps and bumps- I would probably benefit from lymphatic massage as a poster mentioned. If that poster is reading, where does one get that kind of treatment and/or information?

GL to us!
