Is your skin screaming for ‘streaming’?

As skin navigates its hormonal journey, it’s often screaming out for a streamlined routine. By focusing on MORE key actives for specific hormonal skin concerns, we salute our small but mighty collection of innovative ingredient-led multi-tasking heroes.

5 minute read

Within the 48 symptoms of peri menopause, the majority of them directly and indirectly (think stress, fatigue, anxiety) manifest on the skin in some way or another. Whether that’s loss of radiance, intense dryness, severe redness accompanied by a dose of soreness or breakouts, skin in some shape or form usually goes off the rails. 

By the time we hit early 40’s, most of us will have honed our perfect and much-loved skincare routine; something we also see quite often as a ritual. A moment for us amongst the hustle and bustle of busy life. 

As skin starts screaming out in need of change, is it in fact us who is screaming at the thought of having to find, adopt and learn a whole new routine?!

Made of More’s streamlined and multitasking skincare collection focuses on the following:

- Efficiency over excess. By using fewer products with high-potency active ingredients we reduce the risk of irritation & skin flare ups. Each product also has a multi tasking element, increasing its efficiency.

- Targeted treatment. By focusing on key actives which are targeting hormonal symptoms that manifest on the skin, we are well equipped to address specific skin concerns more effectively without having to go around houses and spending hundreds of pounds on unnecessary and ineffective products.

- Enhanced absorption. Fewer layers of products applied to the skin means better penetration of active ingredients maximising their efficacy and benefits

- Reduced sensitisation & irritation. This minimises the risk of overlooking what is actually happening on the skin and being able to treat the cause more efficiently rather than a guessing game.

-The best advice for you. We can advise accordingly to what your skin needs; whether that’s starting with two products and building up to four, we are able to work with our Clinical Lead, Dr Dhesi to identify what your skin requires and help you confidently and seamlessly adjust your routine without upsetting you or your skin. It’s not a one size fits all journey.

Navigating the seasonal skin transition from summer to autumn for hormonal and perimenopausal skin

Written by Dr Dhesi, Made Of More’s Clinical Lead
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.

Made of More - My Story

Written by Viv Barclay - http://www.mumentous.com/ 

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!
