Lady Gaga has decided to incorporate arnica into her new makeup line after relying on this natural product to relieve the pain caused by fibromyalgia.
The pop superstar has battled chronic pain from this disease and found that rubbing the natural product into his skin was more helpful than the anti-inflammatory medication his doctor had prescribed, so he wanted to include it in his relaunched Haus Labs line.
“I use arnica in my body all the time for fibromyalgia. I used to take prescription medications to bring down inflammation and really found that they didn’t work and that arnica was much more powerful. (I wanted) to explore the healing powers of arnica on the face”, the singer confessed to Allure magazine.
And he added: “When I started this company, people told me that arnica would never be found in anything. Maybe in skin care, but never in a product. They told me it was impossible to innovate. But that’s not true. Of course you can, you just have to be relentless“.
Arnica is used topically to treat muscle ailments, bruises, sprains and joint pain. For this reason, Gaga’s team has created a fermented arnica oil to include in highlighters and bronzers, in order to eliminate the redness of the skin that she usually suffers from.
“At the same time as it treats my skin, it is a high performance product. There is none of that overhead that sometimes occurs when using items to outline. We also don’t use those patchy highlighters. It’s important to me to make sure people understand that we’re not sacrificing performance, but neither are their values.”
