Prepare Now For Holiday Party Skin

Prepare Now For Holiday Party Skin

by | Nov 6, 2018

The holiday social whirl is fast approaching. Is your skin ready for all of those party selfies? If the answer is no, not to worry. This is the perfect time to commit — or recommit — to your skincare routine. Start now and follow this advice, and you’ll see results in time to P-A-R-T-Y this holiday season.

P is for Protect and Perfect. Defend your complexion against the elements with our groundbreaking Glow Guard: NEW Rodan + Fields Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid offers protection against the effects of environmental aggressors, dryness and UV rays. Start using it now for lasting results over time — and instant perfection. Available in six flexible shades, this tinted multitasker immediately gives your skin a polished look, blurring imperfections and camouflaging redness.

A is for Add a few enhancements. These products add a few minutes to your routine, but the results are totally next-level. Try our AMP MD Derma-Roller with your REDEFINE or REVERSE Brightening Regimen; its micro-exfoliating tips help your skin absorb products more effectively. Treat your body to our ultra-hydrating moisturizer, Active Hydration Body Replenish, for visibly softer and smoother skin. Apply R+F Lash Boost nightly for the appearance of longer-looking lashes.

R is for Regimen dedication. The easiest way to ensure your skin is gorgeous for the holidays is to care for it all year. If you aren’t already using the Rodan + Fields Regimen that addresses your skin concerns, get started now! And don’t forget your lips and eye area. Use these products as directed and your skin will always be party-ready.

T is for Take care of yourself. Healthy eating, sleeping and hydration habits often go out the window during the holidays. Make a commitment to yourself now that you won’t let that happen this year! Nourish your skin from the inside out with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of water. Next, promise yourself that you will get enough sleep over the coming weeks. When you’re fatigued, your skin looks tired — which is exactly what you don’t want.

Y is for “You time.” The holidays are fun, but they can also be stressful, which doesn’t do your skin any favors. Before life gets crazy — and especially when it does — squeeze in a yoga class, read a book or get a massage. When you’re calm and happy, your skin will look the same.

Before you get the party started, here are even more ways to prepare your skin for the holidays.

4 Things You Should Know About Radiant Defense

4 Things You Should Know About Radiant Defense

by | Sep 25, 2018

True innovations begin with a need – and the inspiration to solve for it. Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields were motivated to create their latest innovation by a common request from women of all ages and skin tones who were beyond thrilled with their daily Regimen results, yet still liked to use post-Regimen products that instantly perfect skin for a more polished look.

The Doctors challenged the R+F team of scientists to create a dermatology-inspired skincare product that instantly perfects while protecting one’s natural glow with powerful, good-for-skin ingredients. The result? New Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid Broad Spectrum SPF 30.

The last step in your skincare routine, this multitasking complexion protector and perfector is available in six luminous shades, which can be worn alone or blended together to create customized color. A tinted “Glow Guard” that helps protect the skin you’ve earned, Radiant Defense instantly blurs imperfections without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

Here are four things you should know about Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid, the first DERMACOSMETICS product from Rodan + Fields.

1. It pairs perfectly with every Regimen — for even better results. When used with the REDEFINE Regimen, Radiant Defense helps minimize the look of fine lines and pores for an even healthier-looking complexion. For REVERSE users, Radiant Defense will even out tone and diminish the appearance of dark marks for a uniform, radiant finish. As part of the UNBLEMISH Regimen, Radiant Defense will instantly conceal the look of existing acne and post-acne marks. Finally, SOOTHE users will see blotchy skin instantly transformed into an even-toned, balanced-looking complexion.

2. It’s powered by the RD3 complex. Formulated with R+F’s proprietary RD3 complex, Radiant Defense provides three types of defense: environmental defense, barrier defense and photo defense. It helps neutralize the harmful effects of environmental aggressors, repair skin’s natural moisture barrier to avoid dry, irritated skin and helps protect against early signs of aging caused by UVA and UVB rays and disperses infrared light, preventing harmful effects of exposure.

3. It’s best applied with the Radiant Defense Liquid Brush. With luxuriously soft fibers that glide across skin and a tapered design that allows for precise application along every facial contour, the Radiant Defense Liquid Brush was designed to ensure flawless application of Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid. For luminous skin, add a pea-sized amount of product to the back of your hand, lightly tap the brush into it, then apply to your face in an outward motion until you’ve achieved your desired level of coverage.

4. It’s earning rave reviews. In a user study, 97% of participants felt Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid helped improve their skin immediately, and 94% noticed their skin looked healthier immediately. In the same study, 91% of participants noticed an instant reduction in visible redness, 89% noticed a reduction in visible pores and 86% noticed an improvement in perfecting discoloration.*

10 Things Women With Great Skin Do For Their Skin

10 Things Women With Great Skin Do For Their Skin

by | Apr 10, 2018

As the Rodan + Fields product-expert-in-residence, Mary Radford, RN, knows a thing or two about getting flawless-looking skin. These are 10 daily habits she, and other women she’s encountered, swear by:

1. Eat well. What you put into your body is as important as the products you put on your face. Eat a healthy diet, including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. They’re packed with vitamins and antioxidants that can do wonders for your complexion.

2. Drink lots of water. When you’re properly hydrated, skin looks and feels softer, smoother and younger. Mary recommends drinking extra water during and after exercise and when you’re out in the sun and heat.

3. Exercise regularly: Daily exercise not only boosts your mood; it relieves stress, improves circulation and can lead to more radiant skin.

4. Hands off. Breakout-triggering, pore-clogging bacteria is everywhere. Avoid touching your face, and when you do, wash your hands with soap and water first. Keep the other objects that touch your face as germ-free as possible, too. Clean your cell phone regularly, and sanitize your makeup brushes and applicators weekly.

5. Wear SPF. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is “the most important product to use every day,” Mary says. Yes — every single day, rain or shine, indoors or out. Remember to apply it to your neck, chest and hands, too.

6. Seek shade. Speaking of the sun, your best bet is to stay out of it. “Get your Hollywood on,” says Mary, with a wide-brimmed hat and large sunglasses to protect your face and eyes from damaging rays.

7. Wash nightly. Each day, your skin is exposed to pollution, bacteria, sweat and grime, not to mention makeup. None of these things belong on your face — or your pillow.

8. Cleanse kindly. Don’t traumatize your skin. Stick to lukewarm water (too-cold or too-hot water can be irritating) and avoid overzealous scrubbing.

9. Exfoliate regularly. Use a gentle product, like ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste, on your face and body up to three times per week to reveal brighter, smoother and softer-looking skin.

10. Moisturize daily. As you age, notes Mary, natural moisture levels decrease. If skin is over dry, it can become easily irritated or start over-producing oil.  All skin types can benefit from our Active Hydration Serum; according to an 8-day U.S. clinical study, it increases hydration levels by 200% after just one use and keeps it there for eight hours.

My 4 Summer Fav Must Haves For Your Skin

by | Jul 18, 2017

Start your day off the right way!!

No one wants to wear make-up during the hot humid summer and besides make-up is bad for your skin and will make any skin problems worse.

The basic function of moisturizers is to help treat your skin when it’s dry and prevent it from drying out again. Moisturizers do this by holding water in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin [source: Mayo Clinic].

When you think of hydration it’s only natural to think of water. To hydrate something means to increase its water content. In relation to skin care, hydration means increasing the amount of water in your skin cells, which results in a healthy, smooth and plump complexion.

Our advice is to follow these simple steps to great looking summer skin…

Step 1 – Exfoliate – your skin. This will eliminate any lingering dead skin cells and reduce flakiness.
Step 2 – Hydrate – A very common skin problem is over-drying and dehydration of the skin. Caused by poor diet, lack of vitamins, not drinking enough water, not enough exercise, and using products that don’t work.
Step 3 – Moisturize – retaining the skin’s natural oils with a rich, dewy formula that moisturizes and nourishes skin.
Step 4 – Mineral Powder with Sunscreen – Use very light, good quality mineral make up.  Liquid make up sticks more prominently to dry patches and looks much more uneven than mineral make up. Be sure that the mineral make up you use is good quality, as cheap stuff contains harsh and drying chemicals that will make your skin worse. Invest in good quality, powder which will even out you skin tone and your complexion.  ALWAYS use moisturizer before applying make up.

Experts recommend, exfoliate, hydrate, moisturize, and sunscreen.

Establish a routine for skin care, and stick to it. Remember that the best cure for dry skin is prevention and using quality products.

We’ve got you covered.

 

Reveal a Fresh-Faced Look For Spring

by | Mar 21, 2017

Spring brings all kinds of perks: more sunshine, barbecues and longer days. While it’s easy to get swept up in the fun of a new season, remember to stay diligent with your skincare routine–after all, nobody wants to “spring forward” the signs of aging. Check out this simple way to stay fresh-faced all season.

Adding a micro-exfoliating tool, like the REDEFINE AMP MD™ System, to your R+F Regimen can amp up your results for a firmer, more youthful appearance. That means visibly improving skin texture (yes, even fine lines and crow’s feet) while minimizing the appearance of pores. It starts with a powerful duo: the AMP MD Micro-Exfoliating Roller features non-invasive technology designed for home use, while Night Renewing Serum combines a proprietary blend of powerful peptides and Retinol for brighter, younger-looking skin. Talk about a win-win.

Need another reason to try micro-exfoliation? There’s more great news for REDEFINE™ Regimen users. The AMP MD System has been clinically shown to have a 58% greater reduction in the appearance of expression lines when REDEFINE Regimen, AMP MD and ACUTE CARE™ were used together for four weeks, and when REDEFINE Regimen and AMP MD were used for another eight weeks*.

Sweeping away those dulling, dead skin cells can really boost your results.

No doubt about it, spring schedules move fast–but there’s always time to add AMP MD System to your spring routine and discover the best spent minute in skincare.

SHARE this skincare advice with anyone looking to amp up their anti-aging routine.

*Based on a 12-week independent US clinical study of 40 participants. 10 applications of ACUTE CARE were used at 3 times per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
