The search for pristine and glowing skin is endless and eternal—even if you think you’ve figured it out, there’s no such thing as too much information or too many complexion-improving tips. And if you’re a celebrity, you’re probably getting advice from the top skin-care experts and glam squad members around.
And in 2017, they weren’t shy about sharing the wealth (of wellness-friendly beauty advice). From Miranda Kerr’s favorite fruit—which she swears gives her a megawatt radiance—to Chris Pratt’s surprising sheet mask strategy, healthy celebs offered up a lot to think about (and try on our own!).

Kiss Those Dead Skin Layers Goodbye!


One of the biggest gifts you can give your skin is exfoliation. Why? The surface of your skin is covered in a layer of dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull — and prevent your skincare products from doing their job. Exfoliation is the way to eliminate this layer of dead cells.
What kind of exfoliation is right for you?
Exfoliation can be gentle and adjusted to your skin’s needs. Choose the kind of exfoliation based on the sensitivity of your skin.
Three types of exfoliators
  • Physical exfoliation, found in cleansers and cleansing scrubs, works by using tiny biodegradable exfoliators like sugars and salts to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.
  • Chemical exfoliation, found in cleansers, toners, moisturizers and masks, are molecules like Alpha-hydroxy Acids, Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid. Their job is to loosen the bonds that hold old, dull cells onto the surface of the skin.
  • Micro-exfoliation, another form of physical exfoliation, is often achieved with a cosmetic tool such as the AMP MD Roller which uses tiny, stainless steel tips to break through the layer of dead skin cells.
Push those dead skin cells out of the picture with ENHANCEMENTS Micro-Dermabrasion Paste
This oil-free physical exfoliator for radiant skin uses a salt and sugar blend for maximum exfoliation. It can be applied on wet or dry skin, its strength adjusted by the amount of water combined with it. Use it up to three times a week on the face and body. (If you have sensitive skin, patch test first, please!)
 Your Regimen — I’ll have the combo please
Combine both physical and chemical exfoliation. REDEFINE Daily Cleansing Mask gently exfoliates with finely granulated exfoliators to smooth skin without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier. REDEFINE Pore Minimizing Toner contains Poly-hydroxy Acids to exfoliate pore-clogging dead skin cells.
REVERSE Deep Exfoliating Wash utilizes a multi-mechanism exfoliating system. Alpha-hydroxy Acids loosen old, dull skin cells so physical exfoliators can effectively sweep them away for a fresh, polished surface that is primed for the next steps of the Regimen. REVERSE Intensive Brightening Toner uses Salicylic Acid to help reveal a more radiant complexion.
Micro-exfoliation. The best spent minute in skincare
Micro-exfoliation with the AMP MD Roller can be done with both the REDEFINE and the REVERSE Regimens. Laser-cut stainless steel tips gently permeate this top layer of dead cells, amping up the power of ingredients layered on afterwards for faster, more dramatic results. This also conditions skin for visibly advanced firming while refining tone and texture at the same time. It only takes a minute to roll the entire face and neck area. The AMP MD Roller, part of the Rodan + Fields AMP MD System, has been re-engineered for an ergonomically superior, smooth roll and clinically tested to enhance the efficacy of your skincare routine.
Exfoliating as a way of life
Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields believe that regular exfoliation is the best way to get your skin to look younger.  Their motto is, “Kick out those old cells and bring in the new!”
And that’s the beauty of exfoliation.

New Product: Bright Eye Complex


THE EXCITING NEW WAY TO FIGHT UNDER-EYE CIRCLES

If you’re dismayed by dark under-eye circles, puffiness and dullness, you’re not alone. Whether caused by stress, fatigue, allergies, genetics or a combination of all four, dark circles and puffiness affect many of us, especially as we age.
Rodan + Fields scientists targeted these concerns with a new eye cream developed to address the appearance of dark circles and puffiness over time while offering instant brightness: Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex.
Combatting the Look of Under-Eye Circles
Bright Eye Complex combines two effective humectants, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid, that intensely hydrate the delicate skin under the eyes — essentially adding water to “plump up” thin, dehydrated skin to make dark circles and puffiness less visible. And the hydration is continuous, thanks to proprietary technology that draws moisture from the atmosphere and locks it in, creating a reservoir from which to draw.
Brightening Tired-Looking Eyes
The formula is also infused with caffeine, phytonutrients and illuminating brighteners that address visible dullness and lack of radiance under the eyes. The result is eyes that instantly look more vibrant, rested and refreshed, with results continuing to build over time. (Don’t just take our word for it: In a recent study, 93% of consumers reported brighter eyes.*)
The Inspiration
Bright Eye Complex came to be after Dalia Stoddard, Vice President of Product Development, came across a study that found if you super-hydrate a bruise, it will appear to lose color and become less visible. Intimately familiar with the hydrating properties of R+F’s patent-pending 3D3P Molecular Matrix — the proprietary technology referenced above — she wondered if it could somehow work its wonders on the thin, delicate eye area.
“I talked to the Doctors about my discovery and they saw the big idea,” Stoddard explains. “They knew the power of our innovative 3D3P Molecular Matrix, and Bright Eyes was born.”

 *Based on a four-week US consumer study. Results may vary depending on multiple factors: age, gender, skin type and condition, concomitant products used, health history, location, lifestyle and diet.

Before & After: Redefine

I often show Before & After pix of my friends and customers using Reverse, UnBlemish and Soothe as those can be quite compelling. But, Redefine customers experience the same awesome results - firmer, more hydrated skin, minimized pores, and less fine lines/wrinkles. My customers (including myself) using Redefine are very very happy - and you can see why in this before and after of Veanne.

Is Your Skin Holiday-Party Ready?

From the number of shopping days left to the clock striking midnight on New Year’s Eve, countdowns are a staple of the holiday season. As you make your list of holiday to-dos — and check it twice — don’t forget about your skin.

Yes, your skin. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and beautiful skin isn’t created overnight. Think ahead this holiday season and you can reveal a glowing, confident new you every time you make an entrance. Not sure where to start? Check out our suggested timeline below. And while you can expect visible results in as little as 30 days, be sure to continue your regimen into the New Year to see best results at 60 days. It’s never too early, or too late, to start counting down to the best skin of your life.

Holiday-Party Countdown to Confidence

4 – 6 weeks in advance:
Add next-generation Vitamin A and skin conditioning to your REDEFINE or REVERSE Brightening Regimen. The AMP MD System combines dermatology-inspired micro-exfoliation with the clinical strength REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum to reveal refined, smoother, firmer-looking skin.
Using the REVERSE Lightening*, UNBLEMISH or SOOTHE Regimen? You can still have the benefits of revitalized, younger-looking skin by incorporating Intensive Renewing Serum sans the Roller.
TIP: This is also the time to place additional focus on taking care of yourself from the inside out. Consider increasing your water intake and taking a supplement designed to promote healthy skin.
2 – 4 weeks in advance: 
Start working towards party-ready eyes by selecting the eye cream that’s best for you. To reduce the look of dark circles and puffiness, use new Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex morning and night. To minimize the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles, add REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream to your nighttime Regimen.
TIP: Prep for some glamour by applying Lash Boost each night. The conditioning serum features a proprietary formula that improves the appearance of lash volume and length.
2 – 3 weeks in advance: 
Plan to give lips a fuller-looking pout. After completing your Regimen at night, use REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum to maintain fuller, younger-looking lips and help retain their natural moisture.
TIP: Your skin will benefit from extra hydrating, too. Now is a great time to incorporate Active Hydration Serum into your Regimen.
Day of the event: 
Get a sun-kissed glow without the sun. ESSENTIALS Foaming Sunless Tan begins to develop color in 2-4 hours. (Don’t get dressed until it’s fully dry!) For sheer sun protection, finish with ENHANCEMENTS Mineral Peptides Broad Spectrum SPF 20. Its light-deflecting minerals help reduce visible redness while evening-out the look of skin tone.
