Maintain and restore collagen and elastin

Peptides

Collagen and elastin, our skin’s structural proteins, are the foundation of the contours, fullness and smoothness that give our skin a healthy, youthful appearance. Our skin creates these proteins in abundance when we’re young, but beginning in our mid-twenties, production of these proteins decreases dramatically.

Your best bet to maintain healthy-looking skin is to counteract this production decrease by applying skincare with peptides which will stimulate natural production of collagen and elastin. When applied regularly to the face or hands, topical products containing peptides can help your skin look and feel fuller, stronger and smoother.

Find palmitoyl Oligopeptide to help to visibly restore volume, support resiliency and smooth and firm the appearance of crepey skin in Rodan + Fields^® ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30.

Ascorbic Acid

When it comes to keeping us healthy inside and out, vitamin C is a real multitasker. Taken orally,  it can prevent and treat the common cold. Topically, vitamin C (the pure version is called ascorbic acid) has proven skin-brightening and firming benefits, but delivering its full benefits to skin is challenging. So it’s anything but common to find ascorbic acid formulated for maximum benefit. So to get the most of this powerful anti-aging ingredient look for anhydrous (without water) formulations that maintain ascorbic acid’s stability and allow it to release its potency only upon application.

Find the skin-brightening and firming benefits of pure ascorbic acid in Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE Age Shield Hand Balm SPF 30.

Safely indulge in the famous two-week manicure

UV Manicure Mania

A minute here.  A minute there. Drying your nails under a UV lamp is only a few minutes a couple of times a month … no harm done, right? Wrong. While your manicurist will assure you otherwise, the truth is, UV damage is cumulative, and whether from a UV lamp or the sun, damaging just the same. And you’ll find the effects on your skin and health will be even longer lasting than your favorite shellac.

But the good news is there are ways to safely indulge in the famous two-week manicure. Simply apply an effective UVA/UVB SPF to the tops of your hands before placing your hands in the UV dryer and enjoy your manicure guilt-free.

GREAT LIPS !!! Easier that ever.

Can I apply ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum around the outside of my lips?

ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum is formulated specifically to treat the skin on the lips. For best results, do not use ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum on your face.

I use ENHANCEMENTS Lip Micro-Dermabrasion.  How do I incorporate ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum and ANTI-AGE AMP MD Roller?

Apply ENHANCEMENTS Lip Micro-Dermabrasion to the lips every morning to gently exfoliate and condition lips. We also suggest following with ESSENTIALS Lip Shield SPF 25 to protect lips from sun damage.  Then, in the evening, apply one ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum capsule after rolling with ANTI- AGE AMP MD Roller.  ANTI-AGE Lip Renewing Serum helps lips retain natural moisturizing factors, smooths lip texture and reduces the appearance of lip wrinkles, and provides protective antioxidant benefits.  The result is fuller, firmer, smoother, hydrated and more defined looking lips.

By Whitney Lopez,

What can I say; I’m a 24-year-old born and raised Southern California beach girl. Having never been but a 10 minute drive away, the beach was my second home growing up.  I would wear sunscreen on occasion but if I forgot, no big deal. I thought, “If I burn I’ll just use Aloe Vera and my skin will be healed, no damage done, right?”  Years later, as I’ve gotten older and wiser, I’ve learned just how wrong I was. And if knowledge weren’t enough, I’ve even noticed bunches of freckles around my nose and cheeks. For a while I started to become really depressed thinking there was nothing I could do about it … that maybe I should have just listened to my parents and worn more sunscreen.

Luckily, when I started working at Rodan + Fields^® three months ago I learned that it’s never too late to protect your skin. When I found out about the REVERSE Regimen and that it could help sun damaged skin, I had to try it. I have been using it for the past two months religiously and it has changed my life. My face not only feels more moisturized but what do you know, my freckles have been disappearing—no joke! I am more confident in the way I look and am back to wearing almost no makeup and enjoying the beautiful natural skin I have. I absolutely LOVE this product and now wear sunscreen like it’s going out of style!

Do you have age spots? How about tiny white dots on your skin?

I have age spots and these tiny white dots on my skin. What are these and how can I make them go away?
From our very first day at the park, ultraviolet radiation causes melanocytes to become enlarged and overactive, particularly in fairer skinned individuals. Over time, this increased melanocyte activity causes the formation of brown spots, which we refer to as freckles in children and liver spots in the elderly. At the same time, chronic sun exposure may lead to total de-pigmentation due to destruction of melanocytes. The evidence of this is the appearance of white dots scattered most prominently on the forearm and chin.
Although you cannot do anything to reduce the white spots, you can address excessive pigmentation with Rodan + Fields REVERSE Regimen.

Has summer taken a toll on your skin? Do not worry. Just act today !

The Doctor is In ... Fall Cleaning Dr. Katie Rodan | September 2, 2011 at 2:27 pm | Categories: The Doctor is In | URL: http://wp.me/pMnJi-rC

By Dr. Katie Rodan

As cool, crisp mornings of September arrive and I find myself settling into my fall routine, I often feel a moment of nostalgia for the carefree days of summer ... until I look in the mirror that is.
Yes, even dermatologists have autumn amends to make for their summer skin sins. Despite all the SPF protection and planning I did last summer,  the bike rides, hikes and outdoor lunches have added up to some telltale changes in my skin tone and texture.
I erase the damage of summer days gone by each September with what I call “Fall Cleaning,” my derm version of spring cleaning, and my chance to clean the slate and start the new season with fresh, youthful looking skin. My “skintervention” starts with a hydroquinone-based regimen to clear the dullness and dark marks. I apply it daily for two weeks and then up to twice daily for a month or two, until the days of summer are a mere memory and I’m happy with the results.
Three times a week I also exfoliate to expedite the process by increasing cell turnover. And since the sun is still a serious concern in fall, I continue with sunscreen application every morning.
If you’re dealing with similar summer remnants, start incorporating this simple routine and before you know it, along with the colorful radiance of changing leaves, your skin will have a fresh fall start and a new, even glow of its own.
