Jackie’s Top Tips to Surviving Christmas!

Greetings from MoM Towers, where our thoughts are currently turning towards the C word. Still too early? Who cares? I’m going to put it out there and be controversial.

I don’t really like Christmas.

As a General Practitioner and aesthetic doctor with a special interest in women’s health, I understand the concerns many have about using glycerin in intimate products. Discussions around glycerin often evoke strong opinions, particularly when it comes to vaginal health, due to past studies and anecdotal reports. However, as with any health-related topic, it’s essential to assess the evidence carefully, considering the quality of research and the contexts in which certain findings were obtained.

It’s time to change the narrative

We speak to women on a daily basis about the impact changing hormones have on their skin, but not just on their faces. Vaginal dryness and similar hormone-related effects can be an uncomfortable topic but nevertheless it happens and at Made Of More we are helping to solve it rather than shy away from it.

As the warm, sun-soaked days of summer gradually give way to the crispness of autumn, our skin can often feel caught in a seasonal limbo. For women experiencing hormonal changes, such as those in peri-menopause, this transition can be particularly challenging. With concerns ranging from pigmentation and moles to dryness and irritation. Understanding how to adapt your skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin.

I woke up one morning in 2015 feeling like I’d been given horse tranquillisers. This was nothing new. Menopause had turned me into feeling like a zombie most mornings since the year before. I made it to the sofa and flopped down in front of BBC Breakfast. I don’t think I’d even made myself a cuppa! 

As the sun beckons us to enjoy its warm embrace, it’s easy to overlook the toll it can take on our skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to dryness, irritation, and premature aging. To counteract these effects, incorporating a high-quality after-sun product into your skincare routine is crucial. Enter Made Of More’s Salvation Rescue Balm - a powerful remedy designed to rejuvenate and restore your skin after a day in the sun.

We all love a good night’s sleep, who doesn’t? Sadly often it’s not as simple as one’s head hitting the pillow and drifting off for a blissful 9 hours. Hormones in midlife quite often have other ideas! So why should we be investing in our evening routines to ensure we get the zzzzz’s our body needs? Surely it’s our only time to binge our favourite Netflix series!

A bit like the British weather which seems to have a complete imbalance when it comes to sticking to one season, hormones are very alike! But why can neither quite get it right – it’s either HOT or cold with no in-between!
