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.

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!

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.

Navigating your skin through this transformative phase:
During the summer months I find that patients I see in clinic often neglect applying moisturiser after cleansing and before SPF for fear of clogging the skin and encouraging breakouts.

We all experience dry, dehydrated and even cracked skin at some point in our lives but as our skin becomes more exposed to environmental aggressors over the years, our skin barrier starts to break down; cue loss of hydration and our youthful plumpness & suppleness on the skin (*sigh).

“The eyes are said to be the windows of the soul. Often the eyes can be the first to notice pain or experience hurt.

Since menopause I have had dry eyes and inflammation around this area. As a face yoga teacher I often teach this particular technique because it is wonderful to de-puff and wake up the eye zone. Just a gentle reminder that as it is a delicate area to be extra careful when massaging or tapping and being careful not to drag the skin.” Ati
