Before & After: Reverse

Did you know that over time the suns UV rays damage the elastin in your skin?? When the elastin fibers break down it causes your skin to stretch, sag, and it actually loses the ability to go back. So, not only does it cause dark marks and discoloration, but the loss of firmness isn't just from aging. 


This is what Morgan has to say in her own words:
"Here it is!! My personal results with Rodan + Fields!! This is my before/after with Reverse Regimen and our Multi Function Eye Cream. The results speak for themselves. I replaced my dull, tired, sun damaged skin with a moisturized, glowing, and sun reversed face in less than 2 months! I am going to now add the AMP MD ROLLER as it has been clinically proven to improve results by 50%! "

Skin Facts 101

Rodan + Fields is NOT just for people who struggle with skincare issues. R+F is the #1 Skincare Brand in North America because it delivers clinical RESULTS. 



Though aging skin is a fact of life, NOBODY wants that fact spelled out all over their face. Skin is the largest organ of the body and it is where the earliest signs of aging begin to appear.

  • Skin loses elasticity, the ability to hold and lock in moisture, and the ability to product collagen as you age.
  • These factors result in wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging skin.
  • Other factors that cause aging include genetics/hormones, oxidative stress, elevated blood sugar levels, exposure to UV radiation, exposure to environmental toxins, etc.
  • Dark spots, sagging skin, dry dull skin, lines wrinkles, patchy skin, and open pores are all additional signs of aging. 
So why not use the #1 SKINCARE BRAND in the United States?

Reveal a Fresh Faced Look


Spring brings all kinds of perks: more sunshine, barbeques and longer days. While it’s easy to get swept up in the fun of a new season, remember to stay diligent with your skincare routine–after all, nobody wants to “spring forward” the signs of aging. Check out this simple way to stay fresh-faced all season.
Adding a micro-exfoliating tool, like the REDEFINE AMP MD™ System, to your R+F Regimen can amp up your results for a firmer, more youthful appearance. That means visibly improving skin texture (yes, even fine lines and crow’s feet) while minimizing the appearance of pores. It starts with a powerful duo: the AMP MD Micro-Exfoliating Roller features non-invasive technology designed for home use, while Night Renewing Serum combines a proprietary blend of powerful peptides and Retinol for brighter, younger-looking skin. Talk about a win-win.
Need another reason to try micro-exfoliation? There’s more great news forREDEFINE™ Regimen users. The AMP MD System has been clinically shown to have a 58% greater reduction in the appearance of expression lines when REDEFINE Regimen, AMP MD and ACUTE CARE™ were used together for four weeks, and when REDEFINE Regimen and AMP MD were used for another eight weeks*. Sweeping away those dulling, dead skin cells can really boost your results.
No doubt about it, spring schedules move fast–but there’s always time to add AMP MD System to your spring routine and discover the best spent minute in skincare.

Dry Skin Looks & Acts Like Older Skin

When it comes to our skin, most of us worry about the things we can see — like whether our foundation is the right shade, why our forehead is so shiny and please don’t let that be a pimple.
But what we can’t see also has a major impact on the way our skin looks and feels. “Dry skin is the top skincare complaint among women of all ages,” says Dr. Kathy Fields, a dermatologist and co-founder of Rodan + Fields.
Dryness goes much deeper than a few flaky patches or tightness. When our skin doesn’t have enough moisture, research shows it gets scaly, rough and dull—and can look like the skin of someone far older. That means whether you’re in your 20s, 30s or 40s, you may want to start making sure your skin is properly hydrated now, long before you’re celebrating a milestone birthday.
How did my skin get so dry?
Everyday life and the environment can do a number on our skin: sun, wind, harsh heaters in wintertime and cleansers that strip away the skin’s protective oil layer can leave the epidermis parched and fragile. And poor lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking too much alcohol can make it even worse.
And that’s just where skin troubles start.
“When you have all that dry skin, moisture leaks out and the environment can come in,” says Dr. Katie Rodan. “Your skin gets these little fissures or tears and it gets chapped and cracked. Pollution, hot air, cold air, bacteria, pollen can get in and touch the vital live skin and that’s when you get redness and irritation.” Plus, dry skin is more prone to showing little fine lines. And dryness prevents skincare products from working as well as they could.
“When the skin is dry, it usually has a pileup of dead skin cells; it’s like having flakes on top of your skin,” says Mary Radford, RN. “Your moisturizer sits on top.”
Research backs this up. The University of Kiel in Germany conducted a study and found that dry skin, even in young people, acts like older skin. The 1997 study measured classic signs of dryness including scaliness, loss of smoothness and loss of elasticity in test subjects age 20 to 35 versus a group over age 60. They found that dry skin was equally scaly in young and older test subjects. And young people with dry skin had rougher skin than older subjects with dry skin. But the good news is that both younger and older skin felt equally smooth once it was properly hydrated.
Fight dryness with this dream team 
Exfoliation is an important part of combatting dry skin; clearing away dry, dead skin cells makes it easier for skincare products to be most effective.
Then follow up with the anti-dryness dream team of a hydrating serum followed by a moisturizer. Moisture and hydration skincare products may seem synonymous, but these products do different things.
“What a moisturizer does is it stops water loss. A hydration product brings water to the skin,” says Dr. Tim Falla, PhD, vice-president of research and development for Rodan + Fields.
So, if you want to show off a healthy glow at any age, make sure you give your skin the right combination of exfoliation, moisture, and hydration.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

In my 43 years of life, I've had 2 different Skin Cancer surgeries - both on my face. So, now I get to go to my Dermatologist for twice a year check-ups. Today was one of those times where an unusual mole needed to be biopsied. 
Let me tell you - NO one is going to notice your wrinkles when your face is all cut up from skin cancer. This is why I am SO passionate about Rodan + Fields and the products these Doctors have brought to the market. In the past 8 years, I have NEVER left the house without sunscreen on my face - year around. Just wish I had started sooner. 
Did you know???
 More than 90% of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, yet fewer than 33% of us routinely use sun protection.
 Only 20% of aging is genetic - the rest is in YOUR control.
 Step 4 in all Rodan + Fields regimens protects against the sun while also targeting your specific skin concerns.
 We have a body sunscreen that is great for the whole family, kiddos and hubby love it as it's non greasy and doesn't go on "white"!
 R+F also has a fabulous LIP sunscreen/chapstick that is my very favorite!

Consultant Spotlight: Lexi Sidener

Lexi Sidener - Pursuing the Passions that Hold Her Heart 

Goosebumps ran up and down Lexi Sidener’s arms and tears filled her eyes as she read an email from a friend expressing her gratitude. Lexi had shared some skincare products with her that had completely transformed the appearance of her skin and restored her self-confidence, something that had been missing for her friend for quite some time. Her passion for helping others feel more comfortable in their skin had led her to pursue a career as a dietician. Looking for a way to balance family with her career, Lexi considered a business opportunity that seemed to be the perfect combination of everything she wanted—the chance to create a successful career doing something she found challenging and rewarding, while putting her family first. When she discovered that her business also gave her the ability to empower others to pursue their passions, she knew she’d found everything she’d been looking for.

Evaluating long-term goals
As a dietician, Lexi loved her career and always pictured herself returning to work after having kids. “It’s such an empowering field to work in. I really enjoy helping people live healthier lives and feel more confident about themselves and their bodies.” After her daughter was born in 2013, though, she had a change of heart. “Having kids really made me realize how precious life is, and I decided it was important to me that I was there for all of those special moments and ‘firsts’ with my baby.”
While Lexi loved being home full-time, she missed the challenge of working. “I enjoyed the social aspect as well as getting to help others, and the opportunity to develop myself professionally. I wanted that back.” While home with her baby, Lexi had been following her friend’s Facebook posts about her Rodan + Fields® business. “I saw all of her pictures from various trips she’d earned and her Lexus® party—she was doing all sorts of fun things, with a high caliber group of people, and fitting it in around a very full life. I started to wonder if the business was something I could do too.”

Developing a plan
Lexi and her husband looked into the Company a little further. “We loved the idea of starting a business and saw the benefit of leveraging an established brand. I knew if I loved the products, I wouldn’t be able to help but share them with my friends and family. The opportunity seemed to be the perfect fit.” Lexi tried a mini facial sample that her friend gave her and was blown away by how great it made her skin feel. At that point, she decided it was worth a try and, in June of 2014, she enrolled as an Independent Consultant.
Having recently moved to a new city, Lexi was concerned about growing her business at first. “I thought I needed a huge local network, but I quickly realized that it doesn’t matter where you live or where your network is. You can grow this business anywhere. The fact that it’s completely virtual makes it easy to connect and share with people regardless of where they live. It has also pushed me to get out and make new friends and connections in our community that I may not have made otherwise, and that has been very fun. I truly have the ability to expand my business everywhere I go, even while at the playground with my daughter. It’s perfect.” Lexi was also impressed by the network she gained within the R+F community. “I was immediately welcomed into this supportive group of people who are all invested in each other’s success. I love how positive the entire experience is.”

Signs of improvement
At first, Lexi thought her business would just be something fun for her to do on the side to give her more social interaction. “I saw how the business was impacting people’s lives on a much bigger scale, and I knew this could be the way to give our family more time together.” Lexi’s husband travels about 90 days out of the year and, once their daughter was born, they hoped to lessen the time he had to be away from Lexi and the baby. After nine months of working her business 10 to 20 hours a week, she achieved Level V status and replaced for former full-time dietician salary. “I mostly worked while my daughter was napping in my arms—what an incredible way to earn an income.”
Now, when Lexi’s husband needs to travel for work, they all travel together as a family. “We couldn’t have afforded that without my R+F income and, with our second baby on the way, I’m so grateful that my husband doesn’t have to miss out on any more time with our kids than necessary.” The time and financial flexibility are also enabling their family to take a three-week vacation to Florida to visit Lexi’s parents. “Last year, we were even able to go for five weeks. I would never have been able to take that much time off from my corporate job, but now I have the luxury of working wherever we go. It’s so important to me that my daughter gets to know her grandparents, and I love that my business allows me to put my family first. And now that she is getting bigger, I love that I am showing her that you can have your cake and eat it too. I can have a successful career, help others, and truly make a difference while still keeping my family first. To me, that is everything.”

Creating positive change
Lexi spent a lot of time in the sun growing up, so she started using the REVERSE Regimen to help with her sun damage. “I’ve always bought good skincare products, and I’d used many different kinds, but I felt like I was always looking for something better. It was an endless pursuit because I never loved the results from anything I was using.” After six months, Lexi saw significant changes in the appearance of her skin. “I felt a difference immediately and, before long, I was seeing them too! I was so amazed at how my sun damage disappeared, and loved the amazing glow my skin had to it. Now, you’d never even know that I used to be covered in freckles!”
By sharing R+F products with others, Lexi is once again helping people feel better in their skin. “This has been so fulfilling because it not only gave me the professional outlet I was looking for, but it also gave me back the aspect of my former career that I was most passionate about. I’ve had people tell me that, after years, they are finally excited to look in the mirror again because of these products. Helping people feel like that is what it’s all about—it’s the best feeling ever.”

Encouraging happy and healthy lifestyles
Lexi is driven to help people develop successful businesses so they can live a life they love. “This business empowers people to pursue whatever it is they’re passionate about. It’s so rewarding to see the ways my teammates have grown and achieved their goals—whether that’s earning an additional income so they can travel more or pay off their debt, or replace an income so they can stay home with their kids. Seeing how many lives are affected makes it so worthwhile.”
Lexi’s business has taught her that, sometimes, we have to get out of our own way and keep an open mind about things that scare us. “Too often, pre-judgments and fear prevent us from taking that first step, but what’s on the other side of that can be the most incredible, life-changing experience. My business certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone, and the result was an immense amount of personal growth. This experience has helped me dream so much bigger than I ever thought I would. I know there are people out there who don’t think there is a way to make a living while pursuing your passions. But, life is too short to waste on things you aren’t passionate about. Whatever you want your life to be, this can be your vehicle to achieve those dreams—and it’s possible to fit it in around everything else. It just requires keeping an open mind and never letting go of the passions that hold your heart.”

Before & After: Soothe

So, you say you have sensitive skin. You say you have redness or Rosacea. You say you have dry skin. I say you need to try the Soothe Regimen! 

Marian Morse - Soothe regimen for 60 days





“Once again I’m floored you guys! This is a picture of me this morning -- mascara and nothing else! I literally went about my daily routine with NO foundation, NO mineral powder, NO concealer -- NOTHING!! I had terrible skin growing up (concealer + foundation + powder was my normal routine) and would tan to try to make my skin less oily and help with blemishes. I had tried over the counter products (both high and low-end) as well as self-proclaimed “natural” products, and prescriptions from dermatologists... I finally decided to try Rodan + Fields, but only because I knew I could get all my money back if it didn’t work. Well, I’m here to tell you it is the REAL DEAL!”

Message me and let me help you find the best regimen for your skin concerns.

Changing Skin

Something happens between ages 35 and 45. Your skin texture changes.  
So, why is it happening? Well your circulation changes. Your skin is more susceptible to damage from environmental aggressors. Skin cells die at a more rapid rate, pulling open your already sagging pores. Those new skin cells are being born at a slower and slower rate. If you think makeup is covering it up - think again. But there is HOPE.

It's not a lost cause. The answer? Give me 6 months. We've got this.
