Aging gracefully: No appointment necessary

Skincare

In the fast-paced, technologically advanced world we live in, everyone is looking for a quick fix, especially when it comes to aging skin. 

More and more people are opting to go under the knife to keep up their youthful appearances. 

According to the TIME magazine article titled “Nip. Tuck. Or Else,” doctors performed a staggering 15 million cosmetic surgeries in the United States in 2014—up 13 percent from 2011 and these numbers continue to rise.

Many of use have our own reasons for choosing  invasive cosmetic procedures. There is however, one driving factor...It’s just more socially acceptable to get work done now than it was a decade ago. 

Despite the popular trend, it’s really not always necessary to go to such extremes to look younger.  There are products and tools that can dramatically transform your skin without requiring you to set foot inside a doctor’s office, receive painful injection or dip into you savings.

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.

Smooth Sailing For Your Face with Micro-dermabrasion

antiage

You can slather on the moisturizer and the anti-aging creams, but if you want to go to the next level of skin rejuvenation, consider facial microdermabrasion.

Exfoliating your skin is a popular anti-aging regimen, and one readily available procedure is microdermabrasion. 

Just don’t confuse it with dermabrasion, which is a deeper removal of skin layers with a longer healing time and must be done by a physician, such as a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. Facial microdermabrasion can be done at home and is much cheaper that going to a spa, or the doctor’s office.

Skin microdermabrasion in a nut-shell, means "sanding" some of the top skin layer. Skin looks rejuvenated because microdermabrasion softens fine lines and shallow wrinkles and  you’ll see an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles and your skin will look revived.

sun damage
Rodan + Fields Micro-dermabrasion Past available in US and Canada at www.suemiller.mrandf.com/ca


Time and money are the biggest reasons people prefer a microdermabrasion such as Rodan + Fields Microdermarasion Paste.

Rodan + Fields Microdermabrasion Paste can be used once a week. If you have very sensitive skin, you may want to limit treatments to once every two weeks.

Acne
