Skincare: An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure


I have been an advocate of taking care of your skin for over 20 years. I have espoused the benefits of cleansing and moisturizing twice a day, the importance of eye cream, and the use of SPF daily. My vigilance has paid off and I am always pleased when people comment that I look younger than my chronological age. It is said that the condition of your skin is 20% hereditary and 80% environmental. The good news is that you can affect the 80% that isn't genetic.
Because we are a society that is obsessed with looking young, the sooner you learn how easy it is to take care of your skin, the better off you’ll be in the future, when neglect and sun damage start to show their visible signs on your complexion.
So, I will share some basic knowledge regarding what to do to take care of your skin and when to do it. These helpful hints will go a long way in improving your skin’s appearance and in restoring a healthy glow no matter what your age. It isn’t rocket science and “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
There are five basic steps that are essential in any skincare routine and if you practice them consistently, you will reap the rewards they provide for years to come, so here goes:
STEP 1: Cleanse
Cleansing your skin (especially before bed in the evening) is important because it not only removes makeup and oil, but also the dirt and grime that accumulates on your face as you go about your day: pollution, smog, car exhaust, dust, pollen, mold, etc., etc. are all causes of skin eruptions and irritations.
Find a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type and use a small amount, about the size of a dime should suffice. While some skincare experts say not to use water, preferring to massage and tissue off, using water is my choice because water provides natural hydration and just feels good on the face. Use lukewarm water to rinse (never cold or hot, as they tend to cause broken capillaries).
There are many brands out there and some are better than others, so find one that you like and stick with it. Products that are created by dermatologists tend to have medicinal ingredients, called OTCs and provide better, more noticeable results. Rodan + Fields offers four cleansers, appropriate for your skin type and some contain exfoliats, which do double-duty.
STEP 2: Exfoliate
Exfoliating is one of the most important steps in the process, but it is the step that most people skip. However, if you start to exfoliate your skin regularly, you will notice an immediate improvement in the way your skin looks and feels. I recommend exfoliating two or three times a week, but some people do it as much as every other day and as little as once per week; your skin will tell you how much is enough.
There are several ways to exfoliate and all of them will do the trick. Microdermabrasion, chemical peel, retinoids and mechanical are some of the ways that you can use to exfoliate your skin.
Exfoliation helps to slough off dry, dead skin cells and exposes the younger, smoother skin below. Also, as we age, cell turnover slows down, and the more sluggish your cells turnover rate is, the duller your complexion becomes. So, exfoliation encourages cell turnover and as you rid your skin of the tough, outer layer of old, dead cells that make your skin dull and lackluster, you begin to see younger, smoother, less lined skin.
Regular exfoliation will take 5 years off your face and there’s no need to spend an hour and $150 for a chemical peel at a doctor’s office. You can get the same results for much less time and money if you do it on a weekly basis, as a maintenance program, versus an overhaul with your doctor once a month. Rodan + Fields offers several options and all are gentle and effective.
Retinoids are another way to exfoliate and they do double-duty. Not only do they help to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, they also increase collagen production. Collagen is the structural fiber of the skin and as we age, its production slows, thus increasing lines and wrinkles. Products with retinoids are skin-savers and will enhance any skincare regimen and will help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
STEP 3: Tone
Some people do not see the need for this step and it is a personal preference, but a toner will remove any traces of cleanser that is left over after cleansing and simply prepares the skin for the next step: the moisturizer. It is especially beneficial after the exfoliation step to help remove remnants of product. Toners are usually formulated for different skin types, so choose the one that is appropriate for your needs.
There is also a school of thought that says that you will need less moisturizer if you tone first because the toner serves as a hydrator for the skin before the moisturizer is applied. I personally love to tone after cleansing and so I recommend its use. I like using toner twice a day, but it is the one step that is “optional”.
Our REVERSE regimen has a toner that contains 2% Hydroquinone, which helps to lighten age spots and over time will make your skin more luminuous and less cloudy.
STEP 4: Moisturize
Moisturizing is perhaps one, if not the most important steps to any skincare regimen. Moisturizers come in many formulas, from lightweight, oil-free versions for oily skin, to rich and creamy versions for dry skin. Some contain SPFs (sun protection factors) and others don’t. The choices are endless and any skincare expert can lead help you find the one that is right for you.
Sun damage is the number one cause of aging on the skin and blocking the sun’s harmful rays on a daily basis will keep your skin looking its very best and will delay the signs of aging, be it in the form of lines and wrinkles or in the form of age spots. Most skincare experts believe that sunscreen should be used daily and an SPF 15 is usually enough, but some people who are especially sensitive to the sun or for those that live in the sunny areas of the country, a higher SPF may be preferred. Good skincare companies provide a choice of SPFs, depending on your need and preference. Rodan + Fields Dermatologists go even further in that their REVERSE regimen not only blocks future sun damage, but actually reverses it by lightening brown spots that can cloud and dull your complexion. Using these product over time can help erase years of damage from your skin.
I recommend moisturizing twice a day: a moisturizer with an SPF in the morning and one without in the evening. Most skincare companies have night creams, which are formulated with nourishing ingredients that work best when you are at rest. Because the skin’s temperature increases slightly during sleep, it is most receptive to moisturization and penetration of beneficial ingredients. Look for night creams with peptides that help stimulate collagen to improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
But moisturizing is not just for the cheeks and T-Zones. Most skincare experts agree that the throat and décolletage are extensions of your facial skin and should be treated as well. After massaging the face with the appropriate amount of moisturizer, continue down the throat and décolletage with gentle strokes. This practice will treat these areas with the same TLC and important ingredients that are in your moisturizers and will keep it looking fresh and youthful as well.
STEP 5: Apply Eye Cream
Treating the eye area is a very important part of any skincare regimen because the skin around the eyes contains no fatty tissue and is susceptible to dryness and premature aging. The eye area is thin and should be treated especially gently: Avoid pulling or tugging on the fragile skin around the eyes. In general, eye creams are formulated with ingredients that help to fortify the skin around the eyes and to keep it sturdy. They tend to “thicken” the eye skin somewhat and so fine lines and wrinkles are diminished. Avoid placing eye cream directly on the lid or below the lower lashes, on that pad below the eye. This skin is especially thin and will absorb product quickly, causing unwanted puffiness. It is recommended to use eye cream using the tips of your ring fingers with light pressure around the occipital bones, on the rim of the eye socket. Placing product in this area will allow enough cream to creep to the delicate eye area, treating it adequately without creating puffiness.
These five simple steps are all you need to help ensure that your skin look its most youthful best for as long as you live in it! Contact me for a complimentary skincare consultation or if you have questions on our products.

Rodan + Fields Dermatologists Offers Multi-Med® Therapies

My Incredible Journey, by Rose Gallo-Rojas

When I started on this journey with Rodan and Fields, I knew that it was a life-changing opportunity; a way for me and my family to become financially secure, a way to achieve financial independence and to ultimately build wealth. What I did not anticipate was just how much it would enrich my life.
Through Rodan and Fields and the direct sales business model, I have grown as a person. This is not a “what’s in it for me?” type of business. I would even venture to say that if this is your attitude, you will never be successful in this industry. The reason is, because the system has at its core, a spirit of giving and sharing, rather than of taking and pushing the competition out of the way.
As we share our knowledge with people who are “looking”, we do it with the firm understanding that what we are showing them can truly change their lives. It is not about what's in it for us, it is about sharing. It is a way for average, hard-working folks to become financially solvent and even wealthy.
I know that this business is not for everyone. I don’t try to convince and I don’t take it personally when people don’t see the opportunity; it takes a special attitude to be successful. I just share the knowledge. The adage “You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink” is so true. People will either see it or they won’t. When they see it, the transformation that takes place is unbelievable and when they don’t, I just keep sharing it with others. (I keep "pouring coffee" as we say).
What is most rewarding is the fact that anyone can be successful in this business, regardless of credentials, education, race, nationality, creed or annual income. Where else can you go in the business world where this is true? It is not likely that one would ever be able to become the CEO of a company without at least a college degree, many years of service, a substantial amount of experience, and a track record of success, yet in direct sales, none of these is a requirement for one to succeed. All it takes is the desire to succeed and the ability to share (duplicate) what we are taught by the company. Additionally, there is no glass ceiling (you can write your own pay check) and you will never be downsized.
This economy has been a tough one and it has forced changes on me and my family that we were not anticipating. I did not have a Plan B, but what I have discovered in the months since my position was eliminated, is a new and improved “me”. Every day something new unfolds, a new aspect of my personal development is exposed and I find myself welcoming the change, as well as the process.
I work from home and am able to spend valuable time with my husband and daughters, I have found the time to reach out to old friends whom I’ve lost contact with, I am able to help others create a business for themselves that will bring them either supplemental income or substantial wealth and I have become more giving of my time and knowledge. In short, I am happier, more centered, and calm. My life has been transformed forever and it is more beautiful than it was before, if that’s even possible, because it was pretty awesome to begin with!
I know that I am exactly where I need to be. I am smelling the roses again, I am attracting the right people and the right partners into my life and I am grateful that I have been given this opportunity to do good and feel better.
If this is something that resonates with you then it can truly transform your life in a very positive way! I would love to share it with you. Contact me to learn more.
My Reasons Why, by Bob Rojas
I am a thirty year veteran Captain of the Chicago Fire Department. I have been decorated numerous times for doing my job well. This career has given me the opportunity to earn a college degree, provide for my family, help my community, and create lifelong friendships. Nothing in my past ever prepared me to enthusiastically introduce and endorse a skin care and direct selling business opportunity to friends and strangers alike.
I do so for various reasons; the experience, credentials, and business savvy of the people running the company, the credibility and sincerity of the Doctors, their clinically proven products, and a business model that sets no boundaries on how much I can earn through my perseverance and hard work. I have fully embraced that good old American entrepreneurial spirit. I see clearly, a path to create for our family, not only financial independence but the ability to let go of the safety net and limits associated with an hourly wage.
I have risked my life proudly, for thirty years and for that I will receive a pension, Social Security, and a draw form a 401K type plan. Although I am extremely thankful for the abundance that I currently experience, those things combined won’t give me what I can earn at Rodan and Fields in a much shorter amount of time!
The greatest thrill though is to work side by side with the hardest-working most successful business person I have ever known, a great Mom, my best friend and wife, Rose.
The financial rewards that this business has brought us are compelling, but the most rewarding and enriching part of this opportunity is what it has brought to Rose and me at this stage in our marriage. We are united in our quest and are truly having fun growing our business. I encourage couples that like spending time together to explore the possibilities that direct sales provides especially with a great company like Rodan and Fields.

Rodan + Fields Regimens Deliver Results!
I have been an advocate of taking care of your skin for over 20 years. I have espoused the benefits of cleansing and moisturizing twice a day, the importance of eye cream, and the use of SPF daily. My vigilance has paid off and I am always pleased when people comment that I look younger than my chronological age. It is said that the condition of your skin is 20% hereditary and 80% environmental. The good news is that you have some control over 80% of your skin’s appearance! So, when Rodan and Fields Dermatologist developed their REVERSE regimen, they provided a way to affect that 80% of skin that has been damaged by the sun.
These products not only block the effects of the sun, like most sun products on the market, they provide a way to actually reverse it! With daily use, sun damage is erased. Clinical tests prove that there is a 98% visible improvement in brightness, a 98% improvement in the skin’s texture, a 90% visible reduction in brown spots and uneven skin tone. An additional and unexpected result was a 30% visible reduction in fine lines! When it comes to sun damage, it’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see that makes your skin look dull and aged.
But the good news doesn’t stop there. Rodan and Fields Dermatologists have developed 3 other regimens that address virtually every skincare need through their patented Multi-Med® Therapy. Results are more noticeable than with traditional cosmetic grade products because the Rodan and Field regimens contain over the counter (OTC)medicines that bring better results.
I can say with 100% honesty, that no other skincare regimen has yielded the results to my skin that Rodan and Fields’ ANTI-AGE has. Whereas cosmetics grade skincare products treat only the dead layers of the skin, these products go deeper, to actually change the structure of the skin. The end results are not only noticeable, they are visceral, emotional. My skin not only looks better, it feels better and I feel better too!
My skin has better tone, it has less fine lines and wrinkles, and is visibly more luminous and clear. I am more than pleased with my results and this excitement towards my skincare regimen is not typical. I am a "seasoned" cosmetics executive (perhaps a bit jaded?) who is familiar with the marketing “spin” of a product. And no matter how effective a product espouses to be, it can only go so far. The Multi-Med® Therapies deliver more compelling results than any other cosmetics products I’ve used in the past and people are noticing.
The regimens include REVERSE, their flagship regimen and the one that is geared towards the largest population. It not only helps protect against sun exposure like most other products on the market, it will actually reverse the damage that the sun has caused over time. It is estimated that 100 million people suffer from sun damage, almost twice as many as those who suffer from acne. ANTI-AGE is geared towards the baby boomers and improves tone, texture and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. There are 58 million Baby Boomers globally. UBLEMISH is for those of us who have oily, acne-prone skin. And SOOTHE is for people who suffer from sensitive, easily irritated skin and contains hydroquinone to help diminish the irritation that sensitive skins experience. Clinical studies prove their effectiveness.
Because the Rodan and Fields products use OTC ingredients that go deeper into the skin, they can actually deliver more effective results than regular cosmetic-grade products do. My personal regimen includes a combination of their REVERSE and ANTI-AGE regimens, since I suffer from more than one skincare issue and my results are amazing. Not only has my skin improved in terms of diminished lines and wrinkles, but its texture and tone is better and it is clearer and more luminous. Because I have seen how these products have improved my own skin, I am very confident that anyone who uses them will see similar results.

Women's Business Center Boosts Entrepreneurs By Andrew Leibs

May 05, 2009 6:00 AM
PORTSMOUTH — With the economy stalled, more women are jump-starting their financial futures by starting businesses.
The trend is no surprise to entrepreneur and event co-chairwoman Julie Vogt.
"As women are being laid off, they pick up the gauntlet," said Vogt, president and chief executive officer of the network engineering firm Integrisys and a WBC board member. "They say 'now is the time I'm going to start that business I've been thinking about.'"
Marcia Griffith, an independent consultant for skin care product manufacturer, Rodan and Fields Dermatologists, sought both. "It's a relatively new company that's expanding rapidly on a national level," Griffith said. "I'm looking for local leaders."

Visible Results

I have been using Rodan + Field's ANTI-AGE regimen for 2 months and have noticed substantial improvements in the texture and firmness in my skin. I have always been a huge advocate of taking care of your skin and have used good skincare for all of my adult life, however, I have never found a regimen that has given me the results that these Rodan + Field products have. The Multi-Med therapies used in these products go deeper into the skin to actually improve its structure.
The inset picture shows before and after photos of someone who erased age spots and sun damage after using the REVERSE regimen for 2 months. The REVERSE regimen will take 10 years off your skin. It is what is beneath the skin that makes it look dull and aged. The spots that are below the surface create a "muddy" appearance on the face. With regular use of the REVERSE regimen, the spots are lightened and your skin appears clearer and more radiant. The doctors feel so confident about your results that they encourage you to take a before and after picture!
A picture is worth a thousand words and is proof positive of the improvement in your skin. All products come with a 60-day money back guarantee.

A Compelling Business Opportunity
Doctors Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, esteemed creators of Proactiv® Solution, have now developed 4 new skin care regimens designed to solve most skin care needs. These products use Multi-Med therapies that actually change the structure of the skin to deliver visible results.They were at one time successfully distributed in high-end department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's and are now only available through Independent Consultants. When the economy started to take a downturn, the doctors decided that they wanted to provide the American public with a way to replace their lost incomes and 401Ks. Because these regimens are distributed via a Network Marketing or Direct Selling business model, the profits go to the independent distributor instead of to the retailer or department store.
If you had told me 6 months ago that I would be working in Network Marketing, I would have thought you were crazy. I was, I thought, the consumate "corporate girl". I grew up in corporate America, I cut my teeth there and became very successful there. In a million years did I think I would be interested in pursuing a life in Network Marketing, but the longer I explored this business and particularly, the Rodan + Fileds model, the more enamored I became.
What I found was that it is big business: Over $100 billion dollars in goods and services globally. For very little money, one can own their own "mini-franchise" of sorts: You have the credibility of the doctors and their proven track record, you get the marketing platform and personal website, you get ongoing training and product support, you have 5 ways to earn income (through product sales, commissions, bonuses and overrides) and merchandising and collateral material that are professionally done and easily customized.
In addition, the industry as a whole is a wonderful place to make your livelihood. Most entrepreneurs are, as a whole, very positive people. They are self-motivated and driven and are usually very generous with their willingness to help other entrepreneurs. I was fortunate, early in my exposure to this business, to meet Ines Kinchen, one of the most talented networkers out there. Ines taught me the power of giving in business and for this I will be forever grateful. She exposed me to a book called "Beach Money" and this book opened my eyes to the real potential that Network Marketing has, both financially and in terms of personal growth.
I encourage anyone who has felt the effects of this tough economy, either as a result of losing a job or a loss in their 401Ks, to explore this opportunity with Rodan + Fields. Whether you want to supplement lost income or build wealth, Rodan + Fields provides a way for people to make money working at their own pace from the comfort of their own home and builds self-esteem in the process. There is nothing like seeing your business grow month after month!

Why Network Marketing With Rodan + Fields?
Network Marketing or Direct Selling are systems of distributions. Instead of distributing products through traditional department stores or retailers, products are marketed through independent distributors, using word of mouth to bring their products to the public. Whereas traditional retail employs wholesalers, warehousers , and advertisers to distribute their products and message, network marketing funnels the profits that these would get, directly to the independent consultant. In other words, network marketing cuts out the middle man and gives the money to their distributors.Traditional retailers invest a percentage of every sales dollar into advertising and promotions. Because Network Marketing uses word of mouth to “advertise” their products, the money that would go towards advertising is used to reward the individuals who distribute their product. Also, because word-of-mouth is their primary source of advertising and relies on developing trusted relationships, the product tends to be of higher quality and service is often much higher than what one would get from traditional retail brands.
Rodan and Fields Dermatologists provides a rewarding career option where your earning potential is based on your effort. In today’s economy, this is a compelling business model because it is recession proof! You cannot be downsized. You are the CEO of your own company and you determine the level of income that you desire. There is no glass ceiling.
Network Marketing is big business and accounts for over $100 billion in goods and services globally. It is helping people put their lives back on track when corporate America has failed them. It empowers those who participate by allowing them full control of their business: their schedule, the number of hours worked and financial reward.
It has the potential to become, with effort and time, a very lucrative, home-based business. This business model is not a get-rich-quick scheme and is regulated by the federal government and other consumer protection agencies. It is a 3-4 year plan with a possibility of financial independence, beyond anything most of us can imagine and certainly more than what I could ever hope to make in corporate America.
