WHAT DO WE KNOW
We know our skin thins, gets drier and loses elasticity due to fluctuating hormone levels and changes in skin pH as we age. Skin thins due to a relationship between collagen production, skin thickness, and lack of oestrogen plus a natural slowdown of cell turnover and decrease in humectants.

Sometimes hormonal skin gets unbalanced, over-sensitive, dehydrated, or irritated and its hard to know what to do to help it. Over 40, it's usually a balance of a few things, how you treat it, what you eat, and the medication you may be taking.
Midst Suggests: Made of More, Rescue Balm
Instant skin-perfecting/blurring. Rapid rehydration for distressed skin. Firms and tones to fight the appearance of wrinkles whilst lifting and firming. Powered by HC+ Complex™:
UK GROWN HEMP SEED OIL: Helps hydrate & soothe inflamed skin. Hemp seed oil is rich in fatty acids, which help hydrate and soothe inflamed skin, and it is rich in omegas 3, 6 and 9 - these fatty acids are key to the protection and repair of the skin barrier.
CANNABIGEROL (CBG): CBG is the stem from which all other cannabinoids are produced. Particularly effective for hormonal skin, it fights breakouts via antibacterial properties and the ability to balance sebum levels within skin whilst calming redness. It is a powerful antioxidant to help shield against daily damage, and it inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory markers. Proven to shield against UV exposure, CBG has also been shown to fight age-related signs of ageing.
How to use:
Apply whenever skin is feeling stressed, irritated or just needs a helping hand - can be reapplied as needed during the day. Perfect used under make-up and before applying day cream,or as a final night-time step in your skincare regime to lock in hydration. Can also be applied in a thick layer and left on as an intensive rescue mask - simply remove excess and pat any residue into the skin after 20 minutes.
