What do adult women obsess over more than finances, health, family, relationships or professional success? Their appearance. The Real Body Image Survey by the Today Show and AOL found in an online poll of 2,000 women and 200 teenagers, that women spend an average of 55 minutes every day working on their appearance. Their worries range from their stomach (69 percent) to skin (40 percent) to thighs (39 percent) andhair (32 percent). According to the survey, 77 percent of adult women and 80 percent of teen girls have something bad to say about their looks.
With so much importance placed on personal image, it’s no wonder women cover their complexion with layers of foundation and concealer in the quest for flawless skin. But, instead of trying to hide skin concerns under makeup, why not address the cause with effective ingredients and clinically proven technologies and tools?
You can empower your skin and develop the confidence to go makeup-free with Rodan + Fields skincare Regimens, which are designed to address a variety of skin types and concerns—whether it’s wrinkles, lines, dullness, sensitivity or acne.

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.
Marketing company JWT Intelligence recently surveyed 1,000 men in the U.S. and U.K. and found that many are shedding old stereotypes about gender roles and expectations.
So just how far will men go to stay competitive in the looks department? Much 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.” And according to the JWT study, 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. JWT reports that, according to the most recent data, U.S. men underwent 1.25 million cosmetic procedures, reflecting a 5% year-over‐year increase. For skincare, while a quarter of men still prefer to skip out altogether, there are 54 percent that use moisturizer, eye cream and other skincare products.

For acne sufferers facing clogged pores, inflammation and pigmentation, the reality of clear skin often seems out of reach—so discovering a solution can feel life-changing.
Rodan + Fields® Consultant Jasmine Trotter understands firsthand the ups and downs of acne treatments: “Before trying UNBLEMISH Regimen, I had given up on my skincare because every product I used just further irritated my acne. They either made my face too oily or too dry, and none of them cleared up my acne.”
In the weeks leading up to her college graduation, she was introduced to Rodan + Fields products by her cousin. As Jasmine prepared for a big transition in her academic life, she realized it was time to take control of her blemishes. “I was ready to enter into the world with my new degree and clear skin.”
Jasmine noticed a big difference after using UNBLEMISH Regimen for only a month. With regular use of the products, she no longer experiences severe breakouts. “People don’t even remember that I used to suffer from acne because my skin is so flawless now,” she says.
With these positive results, she’s also happy to continue her makeup-free routine. “I’ve always been a person who likes to wear just my natural skin. Because of Rodan + Fields, I will never have to cover it up because my skin is already beautiful.” For Jasmine, the benefits to having a clear complexion even go beyond appearances: “Having flawless skin is the best feeling to have because when you look good, you do good.”

Fiction: While the source of sun damage is UV radiation, the actual damage occurs for several hours following exposure. So just because you stepped out of the sun’s rays, doesn’t mean you’re in the clear when it comes to protecting your skin.
A 2015 study at Yale University found that sunlight continues to damage people’s skin and increase the risk of cancer for four hours after they leave the beach and head indoors. The Yale team showed in the journal Science that the melanin in our skin absorbs the UV radiation and then sets off a series of chemical reactions, which release the energy—similar to what happens with fireflies when they produce light and glow with their energy.
The result is ongoing damage to the skin’s DNA for over four hours after the UV exposure. “Half or more of this kind of DNA damage is not happening on the beach,” says the lead researcher, “It’s in the car on the way home.”
Even though sun exposure may be inevitable some days, arm yourself against the harmful UV radiation by applying a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day, wearing protective clothing and avoiding peak UV exposure hours.
ESSENTIALS Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen
Water-resistant broad spectrum UV protection for the body. Perfect for the whole family.
