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.

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.

Why using an exfoliater with micro-beads is bad!

Skincare should be a regular part of your healthy lifestyle...

As women we all love the feeling of our smooth skin after a good exfoliation. But did you know that the micro-beads found in some exfoliators are actually polluting our lakes?

Our Great Lakes are being polluted with tiny polyethylene beads that are most commonly found in exfoliating facial scrubs, but they can also appear in some body washes and even toothpastes. Americans buy products containing 573,000 pounds of these beads every year. Incredibly, a single tube of facial scrub contains approximately 330,000 beads. Holy Moly!!

These micro-beads wash down our drains, and accumulate in our oceans and even flow into our Great Lakes. These tiny plastic beads can be mistaken for fish food and are toxic for our fish. They also soak up toxins like PCBs and pesticides in the water. Currently, there's no known way to get rid of the beads from our lakes because they're so tiny.

If you are looking for a great scrub that doesn't have micro-beads try Rodan + Fields Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. This paste is a high-glide, oil-free formula designed to promote maximum gentle exfoliation. Use intermittently to enhance cell turnover and improve skin tone and texture.

I love to use it to shave my legs and it leaves my skin silky smooth.
