Lash Boost Or Extensions?

 In the not-too-distant past, there were really only two ways to make your eyelashes appear thicker, longer and darker, and both were temporary: mascara or false lashes. These days, there are more modern, longer-lasting options, including lash extensions and our lash conditioning serum, Lash Boost.

If you’re considering an upgrade to one of these newer choices, R+F expert-in-residence Mary Radford, RN, recommends that you make your decision based on the results you’re hoping for and the time commitment that makes the most sense for you.

Lash Extensions

“Lash extensions are individual fibers (either natural or synthetic) that are attached to your natural lashes at a salon,” says Mary.

Lash Extensions may be right for you if:

  • You want instant gratification. “You immediately see a dramatic difference with extensions,” says Mary, making them a great option for a special event that’s coming up soon.
  • Expense isn’t an issue. “An initial set of lash extensions can cost hundreds of dollars,” Mary says. Plus, there’s the additional cost for maintenance appointments every 2-3 weeks.
  • You have time for upkeep. “Salon application can take up to an hour, and requires you to return regularly to maintain your lash extensions.”
  • You don’t mind a lengthier routine. “You must be gentle with your lash extensions lest they — or your natural lashes underneath — fall out.” This might slow down your makeup and cleansing routines, but is necessary to keep your lash extensions in prime condition.
  • You prefer an edgier look. “Depending on the style, lash extensions can look overtly faux,” Mary says. If you intend your look to be dramatic, you can match the length and fullness of your extensions to match.
Or for an easier more natural way…

 Rodan + Fields Lash Boost

“Rodan + Fields Lash Boost is a conditioning serum,” explains Mary. “Applied to your natural lash line each night, it will make your lashes appear fuller, longer and darker over time.” Lash Boost may be right for you if:

  • You prefer a natural look. “The lashes you see are your real lashes,” Mary says, ensuring they won’t look fake.
  • You prefer to minimize maintenance. “Applying Lash Boost is quick and requires no salon appointment,” Mary notes. Once you achieve results, you can apply Lash Boost less frequently.
  • You’re consistent. “You have to apply the product regularly, as directed,” Mary points out, so consistency is key.
  • You want to condition additional areas. “You can also use Lash Boost on your brows to improve their appearance over time,” Mary says.
  • You’re willing to invest time in real results. “It takes 4-8 weeks to see visible results,” Mary says, noting that the results are long-lasting.

Whichever route you take today, keep in mind that the appearance of longer, fuller lashes that are 100% real and 100% yours is an investment many feel is definitely worth making.

The Power Of Hydration

The Power Of Hydration

SCIENCE, SIMPLIFIED: DISCOVER THE HYDRATING POWER OF 3D3P

*There’s a lot to love about winter, but dry, flaky skin is probably not at the top of your list. This season, give skin a hydration boost with 3D3P, an innovative molecular matrix developed by researchers at Rodan + Field’s Berkeley lab. The 3D3P Molecular Matrix might sound complicated — and the science behind it is impressive — but what it does for your skin is actually easy to understand.

MEET THE 3D3P MOLECULAR MATRIX

The Science

The 3D3P Molecular Matrix is a three-dimensional (3D) grid we created out of special molecules called polymers (3P). The matrix helps hold moisture-attracting ingredients against the skin.

Those key ingredients are glycerin and hyaluronic acid, powerful humectants (aka water magnets) and two of the best water binders on the market. (Hyaluronic Acid can hold 1000 times its own weight in water!) Together, they help nourish and replenish dry skin.

The Results

In simpler terms, 3D3P provides skin with a continuous drink of water and instant hydration and relief — just what you need when facing cold winter weather. Both Active Hydration Serum and Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex are powered by 3D3P, making them an effective one-two punch in the battle against dry skin.

ACTIVE HYDRATION SERUM  

The Science

Active Hydration Serum, which you may apply before moisturizer and makeup in the morning and again on clean skin at night, instantly raises skin’s hydration level by 200% after just one use and keeps it there for eight hours.* It helps skin look, act and feel younger, as Dr. Tim Falla, PhD, reminds us in his video Tim Talks in the Lab: The Science Behind Active Hydration Serum.

The Results

Designed for all skin types, Active Hydration Serum provides immediate and continuous hydration for smooth, soft, radiant-looking skin.

BRIGHT EYE COMPLEX with ACTIVE HYDRATION

The Science

Designed specifically for the delicate eye area, Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex addresses dehydration and much, much more. It’s packed with the hydrating 3D3P Molecular Matrix and is also supercharged with a complex of phytonutrients and illuminating brighteners that help nourish and refresh the under-eye area. For more details on this revolutionary eye gel cream, watch Dr. Tim’s video Tim Talks in the Lab: The Science Behind Bright Eye Complex

The Results

Meant to be applied morning and night, Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and dullness around your eyes.

While Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex and Active Hydration Serum are especially beneficial during the winter when your face and eye areas are braving the elements, they should be an essential part of your skincare routine year-round. Stress, sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, the environment and other factors can affect your skin’s appearance 365 days a year.

Keep your skin hydrated this winter — and beyond — with Active Hydration Serum and Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex.

*Based on an 8-day US clinical study.

Note: Active Hydration Serum is currently available in the United States and Canada only.

This Woman Was Skeptical Too!

This Woman Was Skeptical Too!

by | Jan 3, 2018

 

Wondering if you should give this a try?

Some people hesitate and ask questions until they’re ready. Others like me, jump right in!
What I learned is that these products ARE different. Now I’m foundation free with clear beautiful skin. This can happen for you too!

Read Theresa’s story, who was skeptical, too.
????

“I quit my previous 30+ year habit with my previous premium pricey skincare 3 1/2 years ago…
What do you think? Did I make the right choice?

Being truthful, I was skeptical. The 60-day guarantee with got me started, but I fully anticipated that I’d be returning it. But with the results that I started seeing, I stuck with it! Today, I am so thankful that I’m washing my face with #1 skincare product available…..because I’m proof that it works!!!”

I know she made a great choice. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Commitment and dedication to taking good care (not just a quick fix in office treatment) of your skin will add years of happy skin to your life!

Are YOU ready to age more gracefully and reverse the signs of aging (wrinkles), hydrate your skin to prevent (wrinkles)?, minimize sun damage (brown spots), kill bacteria (acne)?

?I’m so happy that I trusted the journey!

I’m confident you will too! It’s a new year…why not?
