Are You Scrubbing Away Good Skin?
Great skin starts with clean skin. The wrong cleanser can undo all the right things you’re doing and make your skin drier and more oil-prone than before you lathered up. In fact, a bevy of bubbles is an obvious indication that your cleanser is likely stripping away your precious moisture barrier.
Gentle, low sudsing cleansers are best because they effectively remove dirt and oil without disrupting your delicate stratum corneum (top layer of skin). Exfoliation plays a huge role in helping rid the skin of dead cells on the surface, keeping bacteria and pimples to a minimum, as well as ensuring that your skin remains bright and even-toned. To exfoliate better, simply apply your cleanser longer, not harder.
Like bricks on a broken wall, over scrubbing is just as bad and can create small abrasions or leaks where germs and dirt can sneak in.

In winter months, my eye lids become dry and irritated … help!
Because your eye area is so delicate, it is more susceptible to weather changes and you will need to make subtle changes to avoid irritation. Here’s what we recommend:
- Use Rodan + Fields® ANTI-AGE Eye Cloths to gently remove eye makeup while simultaneously providing the sensitive eye area with powerful overnight anti-aging and restorative benefits without any residue or stinging, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.
- Use ANTI-AGE Multi-Function Eye Cream twice daily. This formula contains powerful collagen-stimulating and anti-inflammatory peptides to reduce irritation, minimize the appearance of crow’s feet, help reduce puffiness, and diminish dark under eye circles while special optical diffusers instantly brighten the eye area.
- Stay away from glittery frosty eye shadow as mica can irritate delicate skin.
- Wear sunglasses to reduce sun damage and wear sun goggles when skiing to reduce tearing and windburn.

Skipping rope may be good for you, but skipping meals will only trip you up. When you skip breakfast or work through lunch, you’re more likely to crave and indulge in carbohydrate-rich snacks that are high in sugar, salt and fat. Loading up on high glycemic index foods like potatoes, milk, white breads and fried foods accelerates aging and causes skin conditions like rosacea and acne to rear their ugly heads.
Instead eat a healthy, nutrient rich breakfast, lunch and dinner and have skin-friendly snacks at the ready like fresh antioxidant rich fruits and veggies (the more colorful, the better).
So, does your food regimen complement your skincare regimen?
