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!

Moisturizer

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. 


Sensitive Skin

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!


Skincare Assessment
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

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

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.

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.

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
