Choosing The Right Moisturizer

Antiage

With literally hundreds of facial creams on the market today, you may feel overwhelmed by all of the potential choices available. 

What you need to know before choosing a face cream, is there’s more to a face cream than meets the eye. You may have come across many creams that feel rich and creamy or smell great, but a good moisturizer is all about the ingredients, and at what stage in your regimen you apply it!

Tip #1: SPF Protection

The best face moisturizers will always contain an SPF protection. Moisturizers that have SPF protection will protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays from the sun. These rays cause a number of different skin problems such as the development of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, the development of wrinkles and lastly - skincancer. The best moisturizer will offer your skin hydration and protection from the sun, which means you never have to worry about forgetting your sunscreen once you start applying your new moisturizer daily.

Tip #2: Consider an Overnight Moisturizer

For better results, you may wish to consider hydrating your skin overnight, when the body is going through its natural rejuvenation process. In this case, the best moisturizer for your skin care regimen is a moisturizer that contains a variety of different ingredients that will work to soften and protect your skin while you sleep. Rodan + Fields Restorative Overnight Cream is an ultra-hydrating cream which replenishes your skin's natural moisturizing factors while you sleep. This results in a visibly firmer, less-lined skin in the morning. Moisture recycling complex of hyaluronic acid and glycerin prevent moisture loss while 12-hour, time-released antioxidants A, C and E replenish vital skin nutrients.

Tip #3: Choosing A Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, then you already know how difficult it is to find products that don't irritate, cause redness, or inflammation of your skin. The best moisturizer for sensitive skin will contain ingredients that soothe your skin and moisturize without causing inflammation. 

When you’re shopping for the best moisturizer for sensitive skin, try to avoid products that include parabens, other harsh preservatives, artificial colors, alcohol, and ingredients that give the product a heavy fragrance, as these ingredients usually cause irritation. One of the best products on the market for sensitive skin is Rodan + Fields SOOTHE.  SOOTHE shields against the biological and environmental aggressors and helps fortify your skin’s natural moisture barrier so that you can take comfort in having a healthy-looking complexion every day!

Tips for Dry Winter Hands

Winter Hands

During the winter months, wind and cold can inflict damage on your delicate digits and make your hands look weather-beaten and world-weary. To help you combat those ill effects I've put together some advice to help your hands look their best all winter long - no matter how harsh Mother Nature decides to be.

Dry hands

Wear gloves

It might seem obvious, but it bears repeating: Gloves are key to protecting the fragile skin of your hands. Even for quick errands outside, you should shield your hands from the elements. Keep a pair in your purse, in case you forget them on your way out the door.


antiage
Swap harsh soap for something milder

Trade in your bar soap and keep a mild non-fragrant bath and shower gel beside your sink for hand washing. 

It’s a nice change for the colder months, because while bar soaps can strip the skin of moisture, bath and shower gels are richer and can actually add moisture to dry hands.




Dry Skin
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

Moisturizer is crucial to hand care year-round, but in the winter it’s even more important. Regularly apply a good moisturizer throughout the day and after washing your hands. My favourite moisturizer to use in the winter is Rodan + Fields SOOTHE Moisture Replenishing Cream.  This rich formula replenishes skin’s natural moisturizing factors as it soothes, hydrates and nourishes. Nearly all of the formula (over 98%) is an exclusive blend of skin beneficial moisturizers, humectants, skin conditioners and protectants that offer effective, long-lasting moisturization.

It’s a good idea to keep a small bottle of lotion in your purse or at your desk so you’ll have it available whenever you need it.
Hydration
Stay hydrated

A refreshing glass of water may be the last thing on your winter beverage list, but it’s actually one of the times you need water most: Water will keep your body hydrated and counterbalance the drying effect of indoor heating. By drinking water throughout the day, you’ll help your skin stay supple and moist. You might also want to invest in a humidifier to put moisture back into parched indoor air.

beauty
Practice between-manicure maintenance.

Nothing beats a great at-home treatment for keeping hands looking their best between manicures.Try this four step at home maintenance manicure:

  • File or cut your nails to the same length
  • Clean your nail tips thoroughly to make them look really white: Soak them in freshly-squeezed lemon juice for a natural bleaching
  • Moisturize using SOOTHE Moisture Replenishing Cream, paying special attention to cuticles and knuckles.
  • Finish by buffing with a smooth buffer to make your nails shine like glass.

Simple Steps for Radiant Skin

antiage
Your skin, as you probably know, can be your best friend or your worst enemy. But your relationship with your complexion should be kept simple. Skin care doesn’t have to be complicated! Here are some skin-care basics that will help you make peace with your skin.

Use the right Cleanser
One of the big challenges we all face is washing our face at night. I know, I know, You're tired and barely have enough energy to brush your teeth, and now I want your to actually wash your face at night too? Yes...yes I do. No matter how exhausted you are, you really do need to remove makeup, dirt, and pollution from the day to wash away all the debris that can lead to clogged pores and dead-skin buildup...and you don't want to use the bar of soap found in your shower!


Antiage

When it comes to choosing the proper cleanser, you really need to know what your skin needs. If you suffer from red irritated skin your don't want to use a cleanser that has a harsher exfoliant. 

To determine the best type of cleanser for your skin type try my skincare assessment tool...it only takes about 30 seconds to complete.

Nightly Damage Control
It’s a no-brainer: You can maximize the time you spend sleeping to deliver moisture, correct existing problems, and help prevent future damage to your skin. 

To prevent and treat fine lines and wrinkles, use products that have tried-and-true antioxidants such as retinol, which helps promote collagen. My favourite night time regimen includes Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum capsules. They contain a magical blend of peptides and retinol to visibly improve skin texture and firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It's like silk on your skin and it was recognized by Harper’s Bazaar Magazine as an Editors' Choice...so you know it;s a quality product.


wrinkles

Combine REDEFINE Night Renewing Serum capsules with the AMP MD Micro-Exfoliating Roller for visibly advanced skin-firming benefits. Based on Rodan + Fields clinical studies these products when combined provides smoother, softer skin after just one use. With continued use it's been clinically proven to help skin appear firmer and make lines and wrinkles less noticeable for a more luminous and refined appearance.

Treat Problems 

Acne treatment
For blemishes, don't "spot" treat. You need to address the entire acne cycle! Take control with the UNBLEMISH Regimen. It's clinically proven to combat the entire acne cycle.  It helps unclog pores, clears breakouts and calms your complexion to keep pimples, blackheads and post-acne marks from making an unwelcome appearance.


Sensitive skin treatment
Super sensitive skin? Don't worry we I have SOOTHE Regimen. It shields against the biological and environmental aggressors and helps fortify your skin’s natural moisture barrier so that you can take comfort in having a healthy-looking complexion every day.
