Navigating the changes that hormonal fluctuations bring to your skin especially during peri-menopause and menopause requires a skincare routine that meets your needs. I advocate for a comprehensive approach that includes both SPF protection and a moisturiser to support your skin.
Understanding SPF: Shielding your skin from harmful rays
SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is crucial for all skin types, especially for hormonal, peri menopausal and menopausal skin. During this period, fluctuating hormone levels can make your skin more susceptible to UV damage, leading to accelerated aging and increased sensitivity. Opting for a broad-spectrum SPF with a minimum rating of SPF30 ensures protection against both UVA (Ageing) and UVB (Burning) rays, safeguarding your skin from premature aging and potential sun damage.
Why Moisturiser Matters: Nourishing and protecting your skin barrier
Moisturisers play a vital role in maintaining skin health, particularly for hormonal, peri-menopausal and menopausal skin that tends to be drier and more sensitive. Made of More’s Brightening Day Shield is formulated with ingredients like Hemp Seed Oil and CBG (Cannabigerol), specifically chosen to hydrate, soothe, and fortify the skin barrier.
Hemp Seed Oil, rich in omega fatty acids, supports barrier repair and helps to calm inflammation, addressing common concerns such as dryness and redness. CBG, known for its antioxidant properties, aids in balancing sebum production and protecting against environmental stressors that can exacerbate hormonal skin issues.
