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.

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
• Rechargeable MACRO Exfoliator, 
• MACRO Exfoliator Cooling Gels (8 Gels, 2 mL each) 
• Charging Base 
• AC Adaptor 
• User Guide, Quick Start Guide 
• Tip Cleaning Brush 
• Spare Exfoliation Filter 
• Spare Filter Pads (52 Pads) and 
• Filter Pad Tweezers

The REVERSE regimen lasts 60 days, AND both the regimen and MACRO-Exfoliator have a 60 day money back guarantee...even on empty bottles. So what have you got to lose?

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.

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.

Skincare Tips for Seasonal Changes

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 :) ).

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+.

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.

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.

You can order REDEFINE from me at www.suemiller.myrandf.com/ca. Available in both US and Canada

Smooth Sailing For Your Face with Micro-dermabrasion

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.

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.

Find our which regimen is best for your skin type: www.suemiller.myrandf.com/ca

Combine this with your daily Rodan + Fields regimen and you've got a power packed combination for glowing, youthful skin.

Best at Home Acne Treatment

If you have acne, you're among more than 70 million people in the United States who have suffered from this skin condition at some time in their lives. 

It is so common that acne affects about 80 percent of Americans 20 to 30 years old. During the teenage years, acne is more common in boys than in girls, but in adults it's more common in women.

Getting to the Root of Acne

Whether you call it acne, pimples, or zits, in order to treat the condition, it's important to understand the causes:

Clogged pores and bacteria: 

• In your teens, the glands in the skin begin secreting sebum, an oily substance. This normally comes out through the pores, but in some people, sebum clogs up in the pores, allowing a bacterium, called P. acnes, to begin to grow.

Hormones: 

• In your teen years, hormones start changing and affecting your body, including causing acne. This also happens during pregnancy, which explains why pregnant women or women having their periods often have acne breakouts. Hormones released during stressful times can also cause acne.

Genetics: 

• You may be more likely to develop acne if your parents had acne when they were younger.

The Right Acne Treatment

There are many ways to take care of acne, depending on what causes it and how bad it is. Moderate and severe acne can actually be treated with an at-home skincare regimen from Rodan + Fields (makers of Proactiv) called UNBLEMISH.

Visit my website www.suemiller.myrandf.com/ca to purchase this regimen

UNBLEMISH is clinically proven to combat the entire acne cycle. It helps to unclog pores, clears breakouts and calms your complexion to keep pimples, blackheads and post-acne marks from making an unwelcome appearance on your face - and in your life.

Since many acne sufferers have the remnant red/brown marks following a healed blemish, this regimen also offers the UNBLEMISH Clarifying Toner. 

The UNBLEMISH Regimen features 4 full-size products: 

• Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash
• Clarifying Toner
• Dual Intensive Acne Treatment, and 
• SOOTHE Mineral Sunscreen

Think wrinkles are the first sign of aging? Think again!

Most of us believe that the first signs of aging skin is those pesky crows feet. But the reality is that it's not wrinkles that at the first signs of again...it’s dull skin.

Without even noticing, many of us start to put on more and more makeup, blush and foundation each morning to try to regain the appearance of brighter, more rested skin.

The reality is, the real answer to brightening your dull skin isn't found at the makeup counter (although it really is my favorite place to hang out besides the shoe store). No amount of foundation or blush can “make up” for dull skin.

Healthy-looking skin starts with exfoliation. Regular exfoliation is one of the best ways to combat your dull skin, refresh your appearance, even your skin tone and restore that glowing complexion. 

Rodan + Fields Products will be available in Canada Fall 2014

So skip the makeup counter and start fresh with the skin-refreshing power of exfoliation using the REVERSE regimen from Rodan and Fields! (Available in Canada Fall of 2014).

Product Spotlight - Suncreen

No one is completely safe from the sun, but there are steps we can all take to help reduce the risk of skin cancer and eliminate the signs of pre-mature aging.

The risk of skin cancer today is greater than it was 20 years ago and continues to increase.

We are exposed to more UVA and UVB rays as the protective layer of ozone around the earth becomes thinner.

UV rays can get through clouds, fog and haze. Water, sand, concrete and especially snow can reflect, and even increase, the sun’s rays.

To help protect your skin from both skin cancer and the pre-mature signs of aging due to the sun I use Rodan + Fields ESSENTIALS SPF 30 Body Sunscreen (Available in Canada this fall 2014)

It's lightweight, non-sticky and non-greasy. It contains dimethicone to protect skin’s moisture barrier, antioxidant vitamins C and E to absorb damaging free radicals and anti-inflammatory ingredients to protect skin from environmental stress.

It you want that sun-kissed glow without the risk on pre-mature aging and skin cancer use the ESSENTIALS Foaming Sunless Tanner. (Available in Canada fall 2014)

It's a lightweight, oil-free, mess-free sunless tanning foam that goes on easily and dries quickly with no streaks. It's one of my favorite products.

Skincare Is Your Best Fashion Accessory

When thinking of accessories most of us think of a snappy necklace, cute earrings or a great bracelet...but we rarely think of our skin as a fashion accessory.

Just like fashion accessories our skin is forever changing. Our skin changes over time due to environmental factors and biologic changes, such as climate, lifestyle and age. 

The difference is that fashions fade...but your skin lasts a lifetime, which is why it can be your best accessory if you take care of it properly.

With every passing year, your skin functions a little bit differently. When you're young your skin renews itself every month. That’s why young skin always looks so bright and fresh.

Over time, skin cell turnover slows down so that by the time you're in your 40's, it could take 50 days or more for your skin to rejuvenate.

Wooooaaahhh...I know. Since I'm approaching 40 this year I'll share with you my secrets for keeping my skin looking bright and fresh.

It's really important to incorporate regular exfoliation into your daily skincare routine, along with a good macro-exfoliation once a week, to assist the natural shedding process and reveal newer, fresher skin cells.

My favorite routine is the use Rodan + Fields REVERSE Regimen daily combined with Rodan + Fields Macro-Exfoliator once a week. (Both will be available in Canada August 2014)

Rodan + Fields REVERSE regimen - available in Canada in August 2014

This regimen helps clean your skin's slate when it comes to sun damage. The REVERSE Regimen helps erase the appearance of premature aging, including brown spots, dullness and discoloration by exfoliating, visibly brightening, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and defending against sun exposure.

Rodan + Fields Macro-Exfoliator  - available in Canada in August 2014.

Once a week I like to use my Rodan + Fields Macro-Exfoliator. This hand-held, personal use exfoliation tool sweeps away dead skin cells leaving behind a smoother, healthier-looking and more luminous complexion. 

It features technology, developed and programmed by Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields (makers of Proactiv), to vary the degree and duration of macro-exfoliation based on facial area. It's clinically proven to visibly improve your skin's texture even after one use.
We all know that aging is inevitable...but it’s your daily behaviors that influence 80% of how you you age, only 20% is hereditary. 

Everything from sun exposure, smoking and alcohol to diet, stress and sleep plays a critical role in shaping the future of your skin. That’s why it’s important to complement your skincare routine with healthy habits like daily sun protection, sleeping on your back and wearing sunglasses.

Following this skincare regimen will help to keep your skin looking young, healthy and luminous which is a fashion statement that never goes out of style!
