Are you making you skin happy? Fight wrinkles on a budget.

Skincare

Lines have a way of sneaking up on you  a glance in the mirror in the right (or wrong) light can suddenly expose a roadmap you didn't know existed. But you don't have to go into Beverly Hills housewife territory with fillers or Botox to have dramatic impact on the signs of aging.


Sun Damage
Rodan + Fields has a great REVERSE Regimen that works wonders at undoing sun damage, but it is much more effective to prevent the damage in the first place  with a healthy lifestyle and a consistent skin care routine that keeps your skin hydrated, nourished, and protected.
Here are some great ways to prevent those wrinkles from starting.

Drop the Dead Weight

The fastest way to reveal younger, smoother skin is to get rid of the dead, dry cells that accumulate on the surface. Exfoliation is one of my secret weapons to having great skin because it makes a huge difference in how skin looks and feels, I like to think of it as creating a perfect canvas for your Rodan + Fields skincare products. If you don't exfoliate, those anti-aging products won't be able to penetrate and do their job.
Antiage
I like to use Rodan + Fields MACRO Exfoliating once a week. It's a hand-held, personal use exfoliation tool that sweeps away dead skin cells, leaving behind a smoother, healthier-looking and more luminous complexion.  DOn't believe me? The proof is in the filter where you can see the dulling, dead outermost skin cells and debris that have been covering up your best skin.

Treat While You Sleep

At night, your body is able to heal itself from the inside out, free from environmental factors like sun, wind, and pollution. You don't have to worry about makeup or sunscreen either, so you can use creams with a thicker texture that provide deeper hydration and can lessen the appearance of wrinkles. 


skincare
Try something like Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Overnight Restorative Cream. It's an ultra-hydrating cream that replenishes your skin's natural moisturizing factors while you sleep, for visibly firmer, less-lined skin in the morning. 






wrinkles
Anpther great product is the REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum. It feels like silk on your skin. Each capsule contains a potent, proprietary blend of peptides and retinol to visibly improve skin texture and firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Retinol improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of pores. 



Go Easy on the Eyes
The delicate skin around the eyes is especially susceptible to wrinkles, so it will benefit from some overnight TLC as well.  Rodan + Fields top selling REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream is truly one of my favourite products. As with all Rodan + Fields products it's clinically proven to work. Give it a try with a 60 day money back guarantee on all Rodan + Fields products (including empty bottles) what have you got to lose?

Beyond The Shave - Skincare Tips For Men

Men skincare

Ever get the sense that today’s men are more forthright than ever about swapping skincare tips and manicure hotspots? You’re not imagining it. 

From “manscaping” to “manscara,” research shows that men are increasingly taking cues from women in the grooming department as they become more invested..and invest more money, in their overall appearance.

So just how far will men go to stay competitive in the looks department? Alot of it really depends on a man’s age. 

Millennials are definitely taking the lead in terms of image-conscious self-styling, with more young men embracing the must-have “man bag” and “man bun.” 

On average 22 percent of the 18 – 34 generation think eyebrow waxing is perfectly acceptable for a man to use versus a mere 4 percent among Baby Boomers.

Men are also becoming more receptive to new skincare habits that can improve their appearance. 

In the United States 54 percent of men use moisturizer, eye cream and other skincare products.

Good News - Rodan + Fields has great products that men can combine to help eliminate razor burn while addressing antiage skincare.


skincare shaving

UNBLEMISH Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash is an all-in-one shave cream and facial cleanser to soften facial hairs for a smoother shave.

SOOTHE Sensitive Skin Treatment is a hydrating lotion featuring our proprietary RFp3 peptide technology to soothe freshly shaved skin 

REDEFINE Triple Defense Treatment is a power-packed moisturizer with peptides and broad spectrum SPF 30 to smooth and protect your skin.

Younger Healthier Looking Skin at Any Age

Skincare

As you age, your skin becomes thinner and can begin to look tired. Environmental damage also can take the glow out of your complexion and leave you with dull skin. If you find yourself yearning for the dewiness of younger skin, there are ways to help restore the glow to your complexion.

Your skin begins to age as early as your twenties. Skin starts to lose its elastic qualities and dead cells do not slough off as quickly, leaving you with dull, dry skin that has lost its glow. In addition to normal aging and your own genetics, factors that can cause your skin to appear dull include:
Rodan + Fields
Over time, too much sun exposure can damage your skin, causing it to appear rough, leathery, and blotchy. Sun exposure is more likely to lead to dull skin if you have a fair complexion.

Good news...you can actually reverse the signs of sun damage with Rodan + Fields REVERSE Regimen with the REDEFINE MARCO-Exfoliator  (also happens to be the regimen I use daily - and LOOOOVE). With this regimen you can prevent a drab complexion or regain your youthful glow!

Clean the slate and see a brighter future for your skin. Exposure to the sun and the environment can leave you with less-than-youthful skin. Erase the appearance of premature aging, including brown spots, dullness and discoloration with REVERSE.

REVERSE Regimen exfoliates, visibly brightens and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Rodan + Fields REVERSE REDEFINED Special Regimen features: 
  • Deep Exfoliating Wash 
  • Intensive Brightening Toner 
  • Dual Active Brightening Complex  2 x 25 mL, and 
  • Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Sunscreen 50 mL
  • Rechargeable MACRO Exfoliator, 
  • MACRO Exfoliator Cooling Gels (8 Gels, 2 mL each) 
  • Charging Base 
  • AC Adaptor 
  • User Guide, Quick Start Guide 
  • Tip Cleaning Brush 
  • Spare Exfoliation Filter 
  • Spare Filter Pads (52 Pads) and 
  • Filter Pad Tweezers
The REVERSE regimen lasts 60 days, AND both the regimen and MACRO-Exfoliator have a 60 day money back guarantee...even on empty bottles. So what have you got to lose?

Men have it easy when it comes to aging skin!

Skincare

Have you ever noticed that as men age they become more distinguished looking. A bit of gray hair, and their skin still looks the same as it did when they were in their 40's?

Yet, as woman our skin seems to begin sagging and developing deeper wrinkles early on into our 40's.

This is because female skin actually ages faster than our male counterparts...Unfair, yes I know!

Why does this happen? Well, Collagen production declines with age in both sexes, but women lose it more rapidly than men. 

Our skin’s suppleness is determined by collagen and elastin - fibers beneath the skin that give it structure and contour - and they are key to maintaining a youthful look. When collagen weakens, our skin loses its firmness, resulting in wrinkles, creases and sagging.

The good news is that the appearance of wrinkles, lines, spots and more can improve with regular use of the right ingredients and formulas.


antiage
Rodan + Fields’ REDEFINE Regimen was specifically formulated to address the concerns of aging skin with powerful ingredients, like peptides and hyaluronic acid.

So although women technically age faster than men, with the right skincare, they can defend their skin against time and might even end up looking better tomorrow than they did today.

What's the best skincare regimen for you?

Antiage

With all the antiage product and regimens on the market it's tough to know which products or regimens are best for your skin type and needs.

  • If you have those pesky crow's feet should you slather on every antiage product you can find?

These are questions we should be asking ourselves when it comes to products and regimens for our skincare...but where do you turn to find out these answers.

Can laughing cause wrinkles?

Skincare


Are you the first one in the room to crack a big grin when you hear a funny joke? Some people claim that a good sense of humour runs in the family, but new research shows that how you laugh or smile may, in fact, depend on your genetics.

According to a June 2015 study by University of California, Berkeley, our emotional reactivity may be linked to the gene 5-HTTLPR in our DNA. The study suggests that people with short versions of the gene may be more sensitive and show greater genuine reactions to emotional situations. What’s the trick to measuring “real” smiles and laughter? In this case, scientists looked at the muscles around each subject’s eyes that produce “crow’s feet.” Apparently, these telltale eye wrinkles reveal our truest reactions to humor.

While breaking into a huge smile or busting out laughing is bound to make you feel good, you may notice over time that your eye wrinkles are adding up along with those big expressions—and some of the lines stick around even after the funny moment has passed.

Antiage

So what’s the good news to smile about? When it comes to the aging face, preventing wrinkles is actually far easier, less painful and a lot cheaper than you might imagine. 

WrinklesTo minimize the appearance of crow’s feet, try Rodan + Fields REDEFINE ACUTE CARE Skincare for Expression Lines featuring line-defying peptides and hyaluronic acid. 

Apply three times a week before bed for four weeks to wake up with smoother, younger-looking skin.

Comment below and let me know whether you inherited your funny bone...or your crow’s feet!

Are skipping these crucial beauty steps?


wrinkles

We've all been there — skimping on sunscreen, forgetting to floss, not tossing a lipstick after having it for a questionable amount of time. As innocent as it may seem, avoiding these steps regularly can lead to beauty blunders and can even have a negative impact on your health.

Here are some quick simple things we should all be doing regulalry to keep our skin looking radiant.


antiage
Exfoliate Regularly

One of the biggest steps in achieving healthy, beautiful skin is using exfoliants such as Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Daily Cleansing Mask or REVERSE Deep Exfoliating Wash in your daily skin care regimen. 

Regular exfoliation helps to improve skin texture and can give your skin an overall radiance.

For dry skin, it helps remove dead skin cells and allows moisturizers to be more effective by penetrating deeper into the skin. For oily skin, it helps unclog pores. It also prevents and removes white and blackheads, helping to keep acne at bay.



Rodan + Fields
Use a Toner

I know, I know...It's one more step to your skincare regimen and we are all busy in the morning trying to rush out the door. However, incorporating a toner such as Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Pore Minimizing Toner (which I looooove) or REVERSE Intensive Brightening Toner into your daily routine helps rid skin of dirt, oil, and impurities that cleansers often leave behind. 

Toners remove cleanser residue and chlorine found in tap water, plus, when the toner is left damp on the skin, your moisturizer will seal in the water and the active ingredient. 

The result is healthier and more hydrated skin.


Wrinkle Cream
Wear an SPF Daily

Premature aging, fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and skin cancer are all consequences of skipping sunscreen, and not just on sunny summer days. 

Regular, daily application of sunscreen is vital to helping prevent skin cancer and aging of the skin. 

My favourite daily moisturizer REDEFINE Triple Defense Treatment is a moisturizing treatment with a broad spectrum SPF 30 protection. It contains a clinically proven concentration of powerful peptides to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and visibly firm skin. So you get the benefits of Anti-aging ingredients mixed with sun protection...it's a win-win for your skin!


Skincare
Toss old make-up:

Not only do dried out mascara bristles tug and pull out eyelashes, but the bacteria growth can cause eye infections and even potentially cause pinkeye. Eeeeewwww.

Bacteria, which can grow on lipstick and lip gloss, can cause mouth sores so it's a good idea to replace your make-up regulalry. For advice on when you should change up your make up read my post Spring has Sprung Time to Clean up your make up bag.

Skincare Tips for Seasonal Changes

Antiage

As we prepare to swap out tank tops and T-shirts for long sleeve shirts and sweaters it’s a great time to rethink your skincare habits and make a few seasonal tweaks to your skincare routine.

Refresh from summertime sun damage and continue to protect with the right skincare regimen.

Even with the best SPF protection and planning over the summer, bike rides, hikes and outdoor lunches can still add up to some telltale changes in your skin’s tone and texture. 

The good news is that most of these changes are reversible with Rodan + Fields REVERSE Regimen (Also happens to be my very favourite regimen :) ).

Skincare
Check out all Rodan + Fields products available in North America at www.suemiller.myrandf.com/ca

REVERSE is an effective, full-face solution that tackles dullness, uneven skin tone, dark marks and other signs of sun damage. This daily skincare regimen's ingredients include vitamin C and retinol, which work together to achieve visible results. 

Taking it one step further and incorporating the micro-exfoliating roller as part of your daily routine will help enhance the benefits.

Most important, keep up your daily sunscreen routine. Just because the sun isn’t shining doesn’t mean aging UVA rays aren’t around. 

In fact, UVA rays are just as strong during the fall equinox as they are in the heat of summer. One of the benefits of the REVERSE Regimen is that Step #4 The Broad Spectrum face cream has an SPF of 50+.

Antiage
Keep your skin radiant and glowing with once-weekly macro-exfoliation.
Our skin cells shed year-round. In a young person, this process of skin cell renewal takes 28 to 30 days. This means the epidermis completely renews itself every month and it’s why young skin looks fresh and rosy. 

Unfortunately, this process slows with age, so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50 days or more for skin to rejuvenate. When dead cells don’t fall off as rapidly, your outer layer of skin gets thicker, giving a stale, dull appearance and making pores look larger.

Exfoliation keeps this process moving by assisting the natural shedding process and revealing the newer, fresher skin cells below. T

his is especially important as temperatures begin to drop, causing skin to become drier and dead skin cells to accumulate faster. 

By incorporating once-weekly Rodan + Fields MACRO EXFOLIATOR you can sweep away five million dead skin cells in just five minutes to help get and keep a rosy, youthful glow.

Healthy Eating
Keep up the healthy diet.

Skin is more than just “window dressing” for the rest of your body. It’s a living organ that needs a constant supply of nutrients to function properly.

As we move into a new season, do some fall cleaning of your kitchen cupboards, clearing out the high-fat, high-sugar and overly processed foods that accelerate aging. 

Your local farmers’ markets should have a bounty of fresh fall produce that is rich in antioxidants, including pears, carrots and broccoli. These fruits and veggies, along with high-fiber foods and lean proteins, will not only keep you healthy, but also help protect you from the visible signs of aging.

Waging War Against Wrinkles...




Even if you feel young, vibrant, and full of energy on the inside, you may still find that wrinkles on your skin bring your age up a few notches. 

As the skin ages, it changes. Skin loses some of its fat content and appears thinner. It also becomes less elastic and shows the effects of the pull of gravity. 

Genetics do contribute a small portion in determining your skin's future (only 20%), however, how your skin ages is mostly in your control! 

80% of skin's aging is determined by your lifestyle habits such as smoking, sun exposure and even sleeping on your side or stomach.

There are plenty of anti-aging products out there that promise to zap wrinkles fast! 

In my experience I have only found on product line does does exactly what it promises too...plus is made by the most famous Dermatologists in the world Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields (makers of Proactiv).

Here's some great advice to follow to help reclaim your youthful skin.


Always protect your skin from the sun
That means limiting how much time you spend in the sun, slathering your body in sunscreen any time you're outdoors, and wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and wide-brimmed hats to keep the sun off your skin and guard against wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer.




Don't smoke. 
When it comes to smoking, it's best never to start. But if you are a smoker, stopping now will help keep your skin looking young and prevent wrinkles. It's never too late to reap the benefits of quitting smoking.


Say NO to tanning beds. 
Don't use tanning beds, period. Those rays will damage your skin, leaving you more prone to wrinkles (and possibly skin cancer as well).






Keep skin hydrated and moisturized. 
Drink lots of water all the time. Make it a healthy habit while you're young and continue into your senior years. It's also important to use a daily moisturizer if your skin is dry to keep it supple and smooth.

The best wrinkle...is the one you never get!! Consider trying an anti-aging wrinkle treatment, such as Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Regimen

We are all aging all the time, but what that looks like is up to you. Decide today how you are going to look tomorrow and use Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Regimen.

Antiage
