At this stage of life, I’m not chasing perfection — I’m choosing awareness.”
I Became More Aware of Hormone disrupting ingredients.
✨ Hormones change in midlife — so I started looking more closely at my skincare.

As we move through our 40s and beyond, our hormones naturally shift.

That made me more aware of something I hadn’t paid much attention to before: certain skincare ingredients that have been studied for their potential to interfere with hormone balance.

Some examples often discussed include:

🌿 Parabens – used as preservatives
🌿 Phthalates – sometimes hidden under “fragrance”
🌿 Certain chemical UV filters

Our skin absorbs small amounts of what we apply, and midlife is a time when I want to support my body, not add unnecessary stress to it.

I’m not aiming for perfection.
Just more informed choices.

Have you ever looked into the ingredients in skin care?

“When I stopped buying products based on marketing and started reading ingredients, I noticed my skin felt better and I felt better because I started using products with more natural ingredients”

I used to choose products with popular names, thinking they were better for my skin, but then found they contained harmful ingredients.

I learned that most of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies and can cause a toxic overload that affects our whole system.

I understood that if a product is popular, it doesn't necessarily mean it is good for us, but it's often advertised in a very clever way to attract more sales. I started reading the ingredient lists of skin care products. I found some ingredients that were very dangerous but are still being used in skin care.

🌿 3 Ingredients I Became More Aware Of After 45

After 45, I started noticing my skin changing.
It felt drier, showed signs of sagging, and was less vibrant than before.

That’s when I began looking more closely at what I was putting on my skin — not just what I was putting in my body.

Here are three ingredients I personally became more aware of:

✨ Synthetic Fragrance
Often listed simply as “fragrance” or “parfum.”
It can be irritating and unnecessary, especially for more sensitive midlife skin.

✨ Harsh Foaming Agents (like SLS)
These can strip the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling tight and dry.

✨ Alcohol (high on the ingredient list)
Can be overly drying — something our skin needs less of as we age.

After 45, our skin deserves support — not stress.

If you’ve noticed your skin changing too, you’re not alone 🤍

✨ What’s one change you’ve noticed in your skin as you’ve gotten older?

✨ Midlife looks different from what I expected.

When I was younger, I thought that after 45 would feel “older.” I am older than that now and still doesnt feel old.

Instead, it feels different and nicer in many ways.

I feel my emotions and process them more positively. I know my thoughts create my emotions. I know how to manage my thoughts to end up with much nicer emotions.

"As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that my happiness doesn’t depend on anyone but me. I’ve stopped blaming others for what isn’t working in my life, and instead I look at the role I play in the outcome.”

I’ve become more aware of my body.
More intentional about what I put on my skin.
More mindful of what I nourish myself with.

Not from fear — but from respect for my body and my overall health.

Midlife isn’t about trying to look 25 again.
It’s about supporting ourselves differently and seeing life through a different set of glasses.

Listening more to our bodies' messages and taking better care of them.
Being present and holding space for others to express themselves, and allowing them to just be in the moment without judgment.

Slowing down. Learning that not everything has to be completed today.

Choosing quality over quantity.

Taking the time to feel what is working in our life, and be grateful for it.

Being grateful for all the people in our lives and for each and every day we have on earth.

Being grateful that we can still do what we enjoy.

Being able to still be mobile and enjoy life with our loved ones.

And honestly?
There’s something very empowering about that.

If you’re in this season too, I hope you know you’re not ageing… you’re evolving and growing as a person.🤍

In the 14 years I have been using doTERRA products and the 12 years I have decided to share the doTERRA lifestyle, I have seen how doTERRA works and I have met the owners.
I am proud to share doTERRA products because of these 3 reasons.
1- The guaranteed quality of the essential oils.
2- The fuct that they are dept free, they have security and they are here to stay, and they are not on the state market which means that the decision making is done by the owners who I have met and I trust.
3 - The owners values aligned with mine and I value their integrity.

I Usually pull this w**d out of the garden and throw it in the bin.
Today I remembered that in the past I used to eat it and enjoyed eating it too, so instead of throwing it away, I added it to our salad and it added a crunchy texture and nice flavour to our salad.
Purslane is a hardy succulent w**d, it is highly nutritious, rich in omega 3s, vitamins (A,C,B) and minerals.
It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
