What If There Were Only Happily Ever Afters?

Life changes. And skin changes.

But WHAT IF you could control you skin’s destiny?  You can.  You control 80% of your skin’s future (only 20% is genetic).  And that’s great news! The choices you make today will affect the way you look and feel tomorrow, next year and well into the future.

WHAT IF you could always be a few steps ahead, anticipating your skin’s biological needs?  You can.  With the right care, your skin can visibly improve with age so you can look even better tomorrow than you do today.

WHAT IF you had two world-renowned doctors, a bio-scientist, a private consultant (everyone should) and an entire regimen devoted to your skin’s every whim 24/7?

You do.  With 30 years of combined research and experience, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields developed their philosophy of Multi-Med® Therapy. This regimen-based approach treats specific skin concerns by combining the most effective ingredients within an optimized formulation, applied in the right order. Stick to the Regimen that’s right for your skin and you, too, can experience transformative results.

WHAT IF you felt good about your neck?

A steady diet of intelligent skincare is the foundation of skin that looks young and healthy. The Rodan and Fields REDEFINE Regimen is a comprehensive skincare solution that layers cosmetic ingredients and potent peptide technology. This formula helps to defend against and reduce the visible signs of aging for noticeably firmer, smoother, flawless-looking skin.

 WHAT IF having flawless skin wasn’t an accident?

REVERSE Regimen is an effective, full-face solution that tackles dullness and uneven skin tone. REVERSE provides a long-term solution for a radiant, more even complexion. It exfoliates dulling dead skin, helps even and brighten discolored skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protects against further UV damage.

 WHAT IF you could break the vicious acne cycle?

UNBLEMISH Regimen was created as a continuous solution that addresses the acne cycle—clogged pores, trapped oil, bacterial attacks and inflammation. This daily, full-face system combines cosmetic and active over-the-counter ingredients that unclog pores to eliminate most acne blemishes before they are visible on the skin’s surface.

WHAT IF your skin wasn’t so sensitive?

SOOTHE Regimen combines clinically tested active over-the-counter ingredients with our exclusive, patent-pending RFp3 peptide technology to shield against the environmental aggressors associated with dry, chapped, sensitive skin. So effective, the SOOTHE Regimen can decrease visible redness, peeling and dryness. The result? A healthy-looking, even-toned complexion every day.

 WHAT IF THERE WERE ONLY EVER HAPPILY AFTERS?

Quick Tips for Flawless Looking Fall Skin

As the seasons change, so do our skincare needs. Hot, humid months turn crisp and cool, exposing skin to a variety of environmental stressors. Stay ahead of the seasonal skincare curve with easy tips and effective products that keep your complexion looking flawless all year long.

• Swap facial soaps for hydrating cleansers. Wind and cooler temperatures can dry out skin and cause redness or sensitivity, so switch up your cleanser game and keep clean with gentle products. Start by removing your makeup, then use SOOTHE Gentle Cream Wash to combat dry, chapped, cracked skin.

• Remember the importance of exfoliation. Exfoliation is a necessary step for healthy skin, even in dry months. A gentle exfoliant helps remove dead skin cells and clears the way for skincare treatments. Plus, it helps refine and soften the skin’s surface—and silky skin is always in style.

• Keep your smacker supple. Your lips deserve just as much attention as your complexion. Give them the ultimate moisturizing treat with REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum. Each capsule helps restore and maintain a fuller, younger-looking pout. All the better to be smooched over a pumpkin spice latte.

• Hydration is your friend. Moisture, moisture, moisture (paging Jan Brady). As temps start to dip, help your skin out and amp up the hydration. Avoid tight, flaky skin by choosing thicker creams and lotions during the day, and don’t forget overnight treatments.

• Don’t skip the SPF. Just because you’re accessorizing with scarves instead of sunglasses doesn’t mean harsh UVA and UVB rays aren’t coming your way. Before you head out the door, continue to slather your skin with a high quality sunscreen like ESSENTIALS Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Body Sunscreen.

Follow the tips above and keep your complexion glowing no matter what weather you find yourself in.

Spiced Pumpkin "Milkshake" from Kimberly Snyder

This post was first featured on Kimberly Snyder's Blog - 

Are you ready for a snuggly, cozy fall? Smoothie Sundays can and should still be part of your arsenal! You can just vary them to include fall produce, like the pumpkin in my Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie Recipe. This smoothie will keep your cravings at bay with the filling fiber from the pumpkin and all the comfort and heat from the spices.

Be prepared and combat all of those tempting treats of the season with this yummy and nutritious smoothie that is perfect for your afternoon snack. It feels “milkshake-y” and thick. Back off dairy! We don’t need you anymore!

What about the Spice?

As you know from my other posts, there are amazing benefits from our common household spices. They have warming, detoxifying and metabolism-boosting properties. The concept of Pumpkin Spice is actually really healthy when you create recipes using all natural, whole food ingredients.

Some of the main aromatic spices are included in this recipe— cinnamon and nutmeg!

What are we waiting for? Let’s get prepping! 

Prepare ingredients.

After roasting sweet potato, pour cold water over it and when cooled, peel skin off. Blend all ingredients together, starting on low and increasing speed as needed.

Enjoy!

We ALL indulge from time to time, but whenever we can make our own recipes, we can feel good about the ingredients, because we are aware of everything that goes into it (unlike all those tempting yet super processed pumpkin-y lattes that are lurking around!), and it’s no different with what we put into our smoothies.

Guest Post: Reverse Regimen Success Story

This month, Rodan + Fields Consultant Jamie Duncan shares her inspiring journey to younger, more luminous-looking skin.

As a PE teacher and avid beach volleyball player, Jamie Duncan is no stranger to the sun. Even though she had always taken sun protection seriously, she began to notice dark spots developing on her face after years of sun exposure. “I had not attempted to treat them,” she admits. “I just assumed because I had freckles, it wouldn’t change.”

Once Jamie began the countdown to her wedding day, however, she started giving more thought to her complexion. In the weeks ahead, she decided to tackle her uneven skin tone with the help of REVERSE Brightening Regimen, and when the momentous day arrived, she confidently told her makeup artist to skip the heavy concealers.

Looking back, she says, “I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I felt gorgeous in my own skin for the first time in a long time. Shortly before my wedding, someone even asked me if I was in my twenties. Being thirty-two, I was so flattered!”

For Jamie, the journey to beautiful skin didn’t stop there. “After seeing what my natural skin looks like without the sun damage, I now take more time to make sure that I have sunscreen on daily not just at work or on the beach.”

She acknowledges that her active outdoor lifestyle makes her skin more vulnerable to sun damage, and that taking care of herself inside and out will remain a priority: “I useREVERSE Regimen daily and continue to watch my skin visibly transform. Looks are not everything to me, but health is. This is the only skin I have for the rest of my life and I want to preserve its natural beauty.”

Your Fall Checklist for Staying Radiant & Healthy as the Temps Drop

1/2

Another Well & Good Article - 

In their first collaboration together, Deepak Chopra, MD, and Kimberly Snyder want to take you to a new kind of beauty school—offering an enormous amount of Ayurveda-inspired, spiritually informed get-gorgeous advice all in one place, with Radical Beauty: How to Transform Yourself From the Inside Out. The book comes out September 20—but here,exclusively for Well+Good readers, they share an excerpt from Radical Beauty: a checklist for staying radiantly healthy throughout the fall.

The beauty of fall is seen in the full range of colors among Mother Nature’s changing leaves. The air gets crisper, and the wind can pick up, making it important to protect your skin and body. You may find yourself craving less coconut water and more hot teas and elixirs to feel balanced, as well as hot, nourishing meals you may have largely avoided in the summer.

From an energetic standpoint, it’s important to take measures to feel grounded, as vata, the air-based element, dominates the fall season. When imbalanced, this can exacerbate stress and anxiety, which is particularly true if activities dramatically increase after a leisurely summer.

Here are the best fall beauty practices:

 • It’s the natural time of year to start eating more grounding, warm cooked meals again, so be sure to adjust your dietary rotation accordingly.

• Brussels sprouts, turnips, daikon radish, cauliflower, and mushrooms are some of the vegetables you’ll find in season in the fall, so be sure to take advantage and find creative and simple ways to cook and enjoy these fortifying foods.

• Quinoa, brown rice, and amaranth are great gluten-free grains to incorporate this time of year, especially if eaten with lots of vegetables.

• Sip on lemon balm, chamomile, valerian root, ashwagandha or holy basil/tulsi teas, which are fantastic for helping you destress and unwind. You can source these teas, which can often be found combined in “anti-anxiety” formulations, at health stores.

• The drying wind and drop in humidity may make your skin feel rougher. Be sure to spend a little more time with your abhyanga practice [of self-massage using sesame or coconut oil], which is also good for pacifying excess vata, which can lead to feeling overwhelmed and anxious when imbalanced. Abhyanga is a great practice to help alleviate stress.

• Since vata, or the air element, is so prevalent in the fall, you may experience some constipation. This is a symptom of vata being out of balance. Be sure to eat lots of fibrous foods, take some magnesium-oxygen supplements (such as Detoxy +) as needed to help keep things moving, and eat mindfully and slowly, always chewing well.

• Be sure to protect your skin from the quickening changes of the weather, including dry wind. Use scarves and gloves to protect your hands, neck, and face during walks or periods outside, keeping out drafts that can lead to chapping and excessive dryness.

• Your skin may need extra nourishment with the change of seasons, and it might start to feel drier. (Rodan + Fields Redefine Overnight Restorative Cream is a great one!)

• Be sure to protect your delicate lips, which may become increasingly chapped. Apply lip balms regularly that contain natural ingredients such as shea butter, olive oil, and vitamin E. Avoid lip balms that contain petroleum-based, synthetic ingredients (which you don’t want to continually ingest, an inevitable occurrence with anything you put on your lips).

Take time to cultivate nurturing, grounding activities such as meditation, massages, spending time at home reading, or whatever makes you feel soothed.

• Since you might have gotten your fair share (or more!) of sun, salt water, and chlorine over the summer, your skin might feel a bit taxed. Try going back to a gentle sugar scrub and adding more coconut oil if you feel that your skin needs extra lubrication.

• Avoid using stripping soaps on your skin in the shower. Choose all-natural, mild, and simple cleanserswith essential oils instead of potentially irritating artificial fragrances.

• With the cooler temperatures and chilly wind, it’s time to switch back to thicker moisturizers with an oil base, which can feel more hydrating and protective.

• Pay extra attention to your hands. They have the long winter ahead of them with lots of potential cold and wind exposure. Be sure to keep your hands moisturized with a good hand cream (shea butter or other natural ingredient based), and reapply often, especially after washing your hands.

Pay extra attention to your hands. They have the long winter ahead of them with lots of potential cold and wind exposure.

• After the leisure of summer, you may feel an increased swirl of activities in the fall: kids going back to school, increased work projects, or newfound intensity in hitting goals by the end of the year. Be sure to balance the stress. Make it a priority to create downtime for yourself as the holidays gear up so you don’t feel overwhelmed and resort to stress eating or other unhealthy outlets. Take time to cultivate nurturing, grounding activities such as meditation, massages, spending time at home reading, or whatever makes you feel soothed.

Making an effort to gracefully acknowledge the energy shifts as the earth makes her yearly progression around the sun and to shift your daily lifestyle routines in accordance with the different seasons is an important way to maximize your health, energy, and expression of beauty.

Whether we are aware of it or not, we are impacted by the larger energy influences of our environment. Why not recognize, embrace, and align with them to your advantage? You only have heightened beauty and a greater sense of energy to attain. Start applying these modifications for the season you are in right now to feel more in tune with the collective universal energy of which you are intrinsically part.
