Facing Your Skins Future – Collagen Breakdown

Facing Your Skins Future – Collagen Breakdown

by | Mar 14, 2018

The aging process accelerates with time.
For example, starting at the age of 18, the average person loses 1% of collagen & elastin each and every year.  By the time we reach mid-thirties, the loss rate of collagen & elastin doubles to 2%. By the time we reach our 50s, that rate has doubled again to around 4%.
Take care of your skin with products proven to work!

Did You Know?  Much like the tip of an iceberg, our body and our skin ages every day but you may not notice these signs until they build up to a point when they suddenly become visible. It’s called the “tipping point”. Imagine waking up to this change when you’re 35, 45, or 50!!!

This is why it is so important to take care of your skin because this ‘tipping point’ started way back as a result of a degradation process that started at the age of 18.

Don’t put off taking care of your skin…it’s worth the extra effort! #skincarepartners

The Tale of The Tattered Rose

The Tale of The Tattered Rose

by | Feb 21, 2018

When the fiery smoke cleared, there it was. The flames of alchemy left behind the tale of the tattered rose. Dry and charred yet still alive. On the delicate pages the most beautiful story it had written.
From the beginning to the end and everything in between, the tears finally gave way to the light. It was then that she knew that this was her story, the story that would make her heart feel whole again. ~Debi G

Revitalizing Your Reverse Regimen For Dry Winter Skin

Revitalizing Your Reverse Regimen For Dry Winter Skin

Revitalizing Your Reverse Regimen For Dry Winter Skin

Did you know that a drop in the temperature can drop your surface moisture, leaving skin feeling dry, tight and even chapped. So use extra care throughout your skincare routine.

“Be sure to use a light touch when cleansing with REVERSE Deep Exfoliating Wash  #1 by using your fingertips to gently massage over the entire face,” Mary suggests. “This mitigates overworking the skin — especially the cheek area.”

Adding extra hydration to the REVERSE Brightening or REVERSE Lightening Regimen  also will benefit dry winter skin. Mary notes that “applying Active Hydration Serum twice a day over the entire face after cleansing and toning will not only reduce the cycle of dryness but reduce visible pores and fine lines, helping skin to look younger and more radiant.”

In an eight-day US clinical study, this breakthrough serum instantly raised skin’s hydration level by 200% after just one use, and maintained it for up to eight hours. The reason? Active Hydration Serum is formulated with our patent-pending 3D3P Molecular Matrix, which draws in moisture from the atmosphere and locks it in.

And hydrated skin not only looks healthier, but is also primed to more readily accept ingredients from products that are layered on top. This means Active Hydration Serum actually boosts the brightening or lightening benefits of your REVERSE Regimen. You’ll address your discoloration concerns — such as the appearance of dullness or stubborn dark spots — plus see smoother, softer and more radiant-looking skin. (To discover where Active Hydration Serum fits into your particular REVERSE Regimen, check out this video.)

Our research backs up these results: In an 8-week clinical study, participants who added Active Hydration Serum to their REVERSE Regimen experienced more even-looking skin with a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we said in our previous article about the benefits of pairing the REDEFINE Regimen with Active Hydration Serum, it’s a win-win all around.

Step up your REVERSE Lightening or REVERSE Brightening Regimen with Active Hydration Serum today.

Lash Boost or Extensions?

Lash Boost or Extensions?

by | Jan 31, 2018

Lash Boost Or Extensions?

 In the not-too-distant past, there were really only two ways to make your eyelashes appear thicker, longer and darker, and both were temporary: mascara or false lashes. These days, there are more modern, longer-lasting options, including lash extensions and our lash conditioning serum, Lash Boost.

If you’re considering an upgrade to one of these newer choices, R+F expert-in-residence Mary Radford, RN, recommends that you make your decision based on the results you’re hoping for and the time commitment that makes the most sense for you.

Lash Extensions

“Lash extensions are individual fibers (either natural or synthetic) that are attached to your natural lashes at a salon,” says Mary.

Lash Extensions may be right for you if:

  • You want instant gratification. “You immediately see a dramatic difference with extensions,” says Mary, making them a great option for a special event that’s coming up soon.
  • Expense isn’t an issue. “An initial set of lash extensions can cost hundreds of dollars,” Mary says. Plus, there’s the additional cost for maintenance appointments every 2-3 weeks.
  • You have time for upkeep. “Salon application can take up to an hour, and requires you to return regularly to maintain your lash extensions.”
  • You don’t mind a lengthier routine. “You must be gentle with your lash extensions lest they — or your natural lashes underneath — fall out.” This might slow down your makeup and cleansing routines, but is necessary to keep your lash extensions in prime condition.
  • You prefer an edgier look. “Depending on the style, lash extensions can look overtly faux,” Mary says. If you intend your look to be dramatic, you can match the length and fullness of your extensions to match.
Or for an easier more natural way…

 Rodan + Fields Lash Boost

“Rodan + Fields Lash Boost is a conditioning serum,” explains Mary. “Applied to your natural lash line each night, it will make your lashes appear fuller, longer and darker over time.” Lash Boost may be right for you if:

  • You prefer a natural look. “The lashes you see are your real lashes,” Mary says, ensuring they won’t look fake.
  • You prefer to minimize maintenance. “Applying Lash Boost is quick and requires no salon appointment,” Mary notes. Once you achieve results, you can apply Lash Boost less frequently.
  • You’re consistent. “You have to apply the product regularly, as directed,” Mary points out, so consistency is key.
  • You want to condition additional areas. “You can also use Lash Boost on your brows to improve their appearance over time,” Mary says.
  • You’re willing to invest time in real results. “It takes 4-8 weeks to see visible results,” Mary says, noting that the results are long-lasting.

Whichever route you take today, keep in mind that the appearance of longer, fuller lashes that are 100% real and 100% yours is an investment many feel is definitely worth making.

The Power Of Hydration

The Power Of Hydration

SCIENCE, SIMPLIFIED: DISCOVER THE HYDRATING POWER OF 3D3P

*There’s a lot to love about winter, but dry, flaky skin is probably not at the top of your list. This season, give skin a hydration boost with 3D3P, an innovative molecular matrix developed by researchers at Rodan + Field’s Berkeley lab. The 3D3P Molecular Matrix might sound complicated — and the science behind it is impressive — but what it does for your skin is actually easy to understand.

MEET THE 3D3P MOLECULAR MATRIX

The Science

The 3D3P Molecular Matrix is a three-dimensional (3D) grid we created out of special molecules called polymers (3P). The matrix helps hold moisture-attracting ingredients against the skin.

Those key ingredients are glycerin and hyaluronic acid, powerful humectants (aka water magnets) and two of the best water binders on the market. (Hyaluronic Acid can hold 1000 times its own weight in water!) Together, they help nourish and replenish dry skin.

The Results

In simpler terms, 3D3P provides skin with a continuous drink of water and instant hydration and relief — just what you need when facing cold winter weather. Both Active Hydration Serum and Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex are powered by 3D3P, making them an effective one-two punch in the battle against dry skin.

ACTIVE HYDRATION SERUM  

The Science

Active Hydration Serum, which you may apply before moisturizer and makeup in the morning and again on clean skin at night, instantly raises skin’s hydration level by 200% after just one use and keeps it there for eight hours.* It helps skin look, act and feel younger, as Dr. Tim Falla, PhD, reminds us in his video Tim Talks in the Lab: The Science Behind Active Hydration Serum.

The Results

Designed for all skin types, Active Hydration Serum provides immediate and continuous hydration for smooth, soft, radiant-looking skin.

BRIGHT EYE COMPLEX with ACTIVE HYDRATION

The Science

Designed specifically for the delicate eye area, Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex addresses dehydration and much, much more. It’s packed with the hydrating 3D3P Molecular Matrix and is also supercharged with a complex of phytonutrients and illuminating brighteners that help nourish and refresh the under-eye area. For more details on this revolutionary eye gel cream, watch Dr. Tim’s video Tim Talks in the Lab: The Science Behind Bright Eye Complex

The Results

Meant to be applied morning and night, Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and dullness around your eyes.

While Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex and Active Hydration Serum are especially beneficial during the winter when your face and eye areas are braving the elements, they should be an essential part of your skincare routine year-round. Stress, sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, the environment and other factors can affect your skin’s appearance 365 days a year.

Keep your skin hydrated this winter — and beyond — with Active Hydration Serum and Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex.

*Based on an 8-day US clinical study.

Note: Active Hydration Serum is currently available in the United States and Canada only.
