Choosing The Right Moisturizer

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!

Everyone’s skin type and skin requirements are different. I do have a skincare tool that can help you determine the best regimen and moisturizer for your skin.

Tips for Dry 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.

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.



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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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 


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.



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.

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

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.

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.

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. 

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. 







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

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.

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

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:

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

Men have it easy when it comes to aging skin!

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.

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.

Can laughing cause wrinkles?

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.

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. 

To 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.

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.

Your results last for an additional 2 months! The results are like botox but without the painful injections or hefty cost!

Are skipping these crucial beauty steps?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
