Midlife Skin Changes

Written by Mala Ungelson, Founder of Very Make Up Mad. 

I’m Mala (founder of  Very Makeup Mad) and I like to think of myself as the beauty Fairy Godmother -  here to assist, support, suggest and help women get to the best in beauty that much quicker.

I create routines, both makeup and skincare for my clients along with small parties and large events where I get to speak about longevity of health and how wearing less makeup with the right skincare, can be a game changer helping to enhance and ensure women feel the very best of themselves whilst navigating the changes that come with that gift of hormonal change!

When hitting a certain age, things are just not quite what they were and you don’t feel like you once did but it’s taken a while to realise, as life is just so packed with, well, life and more often than not focusing on others. 

Women are natural empaths and the changes no matter how small are a call to action to change the way we focus; how we need to be more mindful of ourselves. I love Made Of More as they recognised an age group that can neglect themselves in the pursuit of caring for others, a time where we also deserve more and need to nurture ourselves along with our skin!

The changes we experience as we age are often due to hormonal fluctuations and this need not be daunting when you find voices that resonate with your journey and products that truly enhance, support, and improve your skins health.

Embracing a natural approach; I'm a firm believer in making educated choices and
managing expectations. That's why I was thrilled to discover Made of More, a brand that aligns perfectly with my values of targeted ingredients and a focus on midlife skin and beyond. Just like the thoughtful formulation of their products, our approach to skincare should evolve with the changes our skin and bodies undergo as we age.

Age is a gift, and learning to embrace the process while accepting change can be
challenging. However, with proper hydration and support for our skin barrier, we can nurture our skin to be its best. It's crucial to be kind to ourselves, becoming our own best friends rather than our harshest critics. I'm grateful to share my love for Made of More, particularly their Night Soufflé and Cleansing Balm, which have become staples in my skincare routine.

Midlife brings about significant changes, especially during perimenopause and menopause, where skin can suffer from heat, itchiness, and sagging due to hormonal fluctuations. These changes can make us feel out of control of our own bodies, but the advancements in skincare provide much-needed relief.

Ingredients like CBG, known for reducing inflammation, are a testament to how far we've come in addressing these unique needs. We should feel proud to use products created by women who understand our experiences and cater specifically to them. Thank you, Made of More, for giving me a platform to share and celebrate this journey.
