BACKSTORY In the past few years, Marta Magyar-Gaal has faced several hardships. “I’ve gone through quite a bit of stress, in addition to a lot of physical changes,” says Marta. A cancer survivor, she was recently diagnosed with vitiligo (a skin disease characterized by a loss of pigment), which has made getting dressed extra challenging. “It mostly affects my arms and hands, so sleeves are a must,” she says. In the thick of menopause, she’s also experienced some hormonal weight gain and aggravation of her rosacea. With all of these new challenges, Marta was ready to embrace something positive: a brand-new look that matches her brilliant, funny and animated personality.
