And that's where peptides come in. A secret weapon for a glowing complexion and a shortcut to slaying the skincare game during this exhilarating phase of life.

So, what's the deal with peptides? Well, they work as cheerleaders for your skin. Yay to boosted collagen production! Yay to smoother skin and less visible fine lines! 

But there’s more - peptides don't just boost collagen and fight signs of ageing. 

Did you know they’re  also masters of texture improvement? By reducing the appearance of pores, the surface of skin is less rough, more filled in and more ‘intact’ giving it more bounce and surface smoothness. 

And there’s even more to these powerhouses of perfect skin. They also give good glow, by promoting cell turnover and exfoliation for improved radiance. Hello high wattage! 

And of course it would be remiss to not mention hydration. The icing on the cake is that they attract moisture like a magnet, swooping in to save the day as menopause messes with our moisture levels. By incorporating them into your daily routine,  skin stays plump, juicy, and totally hydrated think of them as electrolytes for your skin after a gruelling workout. Or a  long refreshing drink on a hot summer day – pure bliss!

Finally (we could keep going all day on this one) peptides are like little skin superheroes with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers, quietly working to shield your skin from environmental baddies and calm down any redness or irritation that dares to show up. Menopausal skin can be a drama queen, but peptides are here to tame the chaos and restore balance.

So, how do you get in on this peptide party? Look for skincare products that are packed with these skin-loving wonders, in particular leave on formulas such as serums, creams, and masks that can get on with the job whilst you get on with yours.

Remember, consistency is key. Peptides may not work overnight but trust us, your skin will thank you with time. 

Make peptides your skincare BFFs during menopause and rock that glowing complexion like the superstar you are. Get ready to slay, gorgeous!

Our knowledge sets us apart

Let’s talk about Ceramides!

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).

Oh, Hello Rosacea!

Written by Eleanor, Made Of More Customer 

I started to notice some spots appearing around my nose and across my cheeks literally as the clock was striking midnight and I turned 40 - I kid you not! At first, I freaked out; this wasn’t my ‘usual’ skin. Why was it doing this? Wracking my brains to work out if I’d changed something in my diet, indulging in too much wine and all the while spending a small fortune on every spot busting product I could find, positive results were minimal.

'I am Made Of More' Hand Greeting
"As long as I can remember my dear ma used to massage my hands. She taught me the power of self-care through touch and connection.
Self care does not have to be complicated and this hand greeting is one way to come back to yourself. Our hands do so much for us and it's important to show them love! This does not have to be complicated and you can intuitively travel around the hands as you wish." Ati

“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
