Make-Up Free is the Look for Summer!

By Mary Radford, RN

Product Expert at Rodan + Fields

There’s a lot of dramatic contouring and full-coverage foundation happening on social media these days, as people strive for a perfect, selfie-ready complexion. But at Rodan + Fields, we believe anyone can achieve clearer, more even-toned, flawless-looking skin with a lot less makeup. If you’re ready to use less base, concealer, lip color and even mascara, we can help.

Instead of base, try a Regimen

Want to go foundation-free? You can, with a skincare routine that tackles the issue you’ve been trying to cover up. Whether it’s acne, dark spots, discoloration, redness or fine lines, your Rodan + Fields Consultant can help you find the Regimen that’s right for you. Commit to using your Regimen consistently, and the look of flawless skin is in your future! 

If you’d still like a touch of cover, our oil-free, lightweight tinted Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid protects and perfects the radiant skin you’ve earned.  

Instead of under-eye concealer, try REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream

What if you had nothing to conceal? Our Multi-Function Eye Cream has optical diffusers that brighten the eye area, and it’s a workhorse when it comes to firming and improving the appearance of fine lines over time. You can also use it with Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex, an illuminating hydrating gel that diminishes the look of dark circles, puffiness and tired eyes. So instead of concealing, try revealing!

Instead of eye makeup and brow powder, try Lash Boost

Want the appearance of longer, fuller, darker lashes? Our bestselling lash serum is perfect for those wishing to use less mascara — or none.And, yes, you can use Lash Boost on your brows, too. 

Instead of lipstick, try REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum

For slightly glossy lips that get lovelier over time, try our antioxidant-packed serum. It visibly smooths lips and reduces the appearance of fine lines and lip wrinkles, leaving lips conditioned and revitalized.

Feeling confident without makeup is life changing. So, here’s to embracing the natural beauty that you are. 

I'm a MASK believer. These Doctors are GENIUS.

My Team is Expanding to Colorado!

My team is expanding, to Colorado!! I could not be more excited to welcome my friend, Gina Thomas to my growing skincare team! Gina has served as Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army (tough as nails) and has been using this clinically proven skincare line in all of her travels the last few years.

Introducing 4 NEW Face Masks!

Your skin is acne-prone but also sometimes sensitive. Your main concern is fine lines, but you’d also like a brighter complexion. That’s where face masks come in! 

Designed to be paired with any Rodan + Fields Regimen, each of our masks delivers visible improvements to specific skin concerns. Simply apply the mask of your choice between Steps 1 and 2 of your Regimen to see results in 10 minutes. Use the mask two to three times a week to see even better results over time!

Find your skin concern and meet your mask:

Your concern: The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 

Your mask: REDEFINE Rejuvenation Mask

This bubbling gel-to-foam mask is made with our proprietary 3D3P Molecular Matrix, which uses hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin to draw moisture from the air and lock it onto the skin. Meanwhile, Jojoba Beads gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Your skin will feel instantly smoother and more refreshed, with visible improvement to fine lines and wrinkles over time. 

Your concern: Dullness and uneven skin tone 

Your mask: REVERSE Radiance Mask 

This metallic cream face mask contains our exclusive brightening Retinal-MD Technology — the highest-potency Vitamin A available without a prescription — plus exfoliating Glycolic Acid and radiance-boosting Turmeric Extract. Your complexion will look more radiant right away, and with continued use, you’ll see a more even skin tone. 

Pro tip: Use this mask in the evening only; Vitamin A can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.  

Your concern: Visible redness and sensitivity 

Your mask: SOOTHE Rescue Mask

This green clay mask has an immediate calming effect on all skin types. Moisture-attracting Glycerin helps smooth and soften, while Calamine neutralizes environmental irritants. Reach for this mask to have smoother, softer, fresher-feeling skin in an instant. Over time, the mask will transform red, blotchy, irritated skin into a healthy-looking complexion. 

Your concern: Acne and blemishes  

Your mask: UNBLEMISH Clarifying Mask

Purifying Sulfur helps treat existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. Color-changing beads offer mild exfoliation and release calming ingredients to reduce visible redness and blotchiness. The mask works to reduce excess oil, unclog pores and tackle visible acne and over time, it will help keep new blemishes from forming.

So whatever your concern may be, get ready to unmask your best skin!  

Acne Hack: Wash Your Pillowcases

HIGH-QUALITY SKINCARE CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY YOU LOOK AND FEEL. BUT IF YOU’VE BEEN CONSISTENTLY FOLLOWING A RODAN + FIELDS REGIMEN AND STILL HAVE SOME ACNE, REDNESS OR IRRITATION, YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE — NAMELY, YOUR PILLOWCASE.

THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT YOU SHOULD WASH YOUR PILLOWCASES ONCE A WEEK. BUT IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE, OILY OR ACNE-PRONE SKIN, WASHING IT 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

THINK ABOUT IT: YOUR HAIR COLLECTS MORE DIRT AND OIL THAN ANY OTHER PART OF YOUR BODY — AND WHERE DOES IT ALL COLLECT AT NIGHT? ON YOUR PILLOWCASE! PUTTING YOUR CLEAN, FRESH FACE AGAINST ALL THIS GRIME FOR EIGHT HOURS A NIGHT CAN CLOG YOUR PORES AND CAUSE IRRITATION. THEN THERE ARE DUST MITES, THE LITTLE CRITTERS THAT LIKE TO INHABIT PILLOWS. THEY CAN LAY EGGS ON YOUR PILLOWCASE AND, IF YOU’RE ALLERGIC TO THEM, THEY CAN CAUSE ITCHY SKIN AND RASHES.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER TIPS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR PILLOWCASE:

MAKE SURE DUST MITES BITE THE DUST. WASH YOUR PILLOWCASE — AND THE REST OF YOUR BEDDING — IN HOT WATER AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

USE A GENTLE DETERGENT. LOOK FOR DETERGENTS THAT ARE ALLERGY-FREE, MADE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN AND FREE OF HARSH CHEMICALS. 

AN OILY FACE OR AN OILY PILLOWCASE? THE OIL LEFT BEHIND BY FABRIC SOFTENERS AND DRYER SHEETS CAN ALSO SEEP INTO YOUR SKIN. USE A DRYER BALL INSTEAD.

SO, IF YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED YOUR PILLOWCASE RECENTLY, MAYBE IT’S TIME. IT JUST MIGHT BE A SKIN-SAVER!

Our Multi-Function Eye Cream gets a lot of buzz in the press and for good reason - it works! Some of my customers refer to it as "Eye Crack"- because once you use it you never want to stop!

Eye Cream is one of the best investments you can make for preventative skincare for the years to come!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

May 12 is Mother’s Day — and we’ve got skincare gift ideas to make mamas of all kinds feel appreciated and deliciously pampered! Choose a mom and show her some Rodan + Fields love.

Just remember, if a mom is pregnant or nursing she should always check with her doctor before introducing new products to her skincare routine. 

Which Mom do you want to get a gift for?

New Mom

Moms of babies are really put to the test. A good night’s sleep is hard to come by, and those long nights can wreak havoc on her schedule and her skin. 

Give her age-defying products that make the most of her limited sleep time:Applied at bedtime, Intensive Renewing Serum is tough on the visible signs of aging but not on skin. REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream improves the appearance of expression lines and visibly firms the under-eye area. REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum, with Peptides and Vitamin E, conditions and visibly smooths lips. 

P.S. If the New Mom in your life wants to help reduce brown patches known as Pregnancy Mask (melasma), the REVERSE Lightening Regimen could be a most welcome gift! Just have her check in with her doctor if she’s pregnant or nursing to see if it’s the right fit.

Working Mom

All moms work — the only question is, “where?” Whether she’s headed to a board meeting at the office or a conference at her kid’s preschool, she’s got a back-to-back schedule and no time to fuss. Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid (and its companion, the Radiant Defense Liquid Brush), will have her glowing, polished and perfect in seconds. And once she’s finally done for the day, ESSENTIALS Complete Eye Makeup Remover and Instant Make-Up Remover Wipes whisk everything away so she can get to bed sooner.

Mr. Mom

Mom to Everyone

She might not actually be your mother, but she is the wise, nurturing person who makes you feel loved. Pamper her with skincare products she might not buy for herself! Active Hydration Serum has a luxurious feel and makes an instant difference, transforming dry skin into hydrated, younger-looking, younger-acting skin. Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex targets thin, fragile skin around the eyes to diminish the look of dark circles and puffiness.

Before + After

My friend and Preferred Customer shares her before and after this month. She looks FABULOUS after sun damage and cancer treatment. In her words, "I started using Rodan+Fields because chemo, hormone inhibitors, and sun damaged my skin. After a few months I saw incredible improvements. I believe in this stuff!"

Skin Cancer Awareness Month

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and a great time to tell my personal story. I was born with blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair - and I fought it every chance I could get. I longed to have the dark complexion of my younger sister. I mowed lawns for summer jobs, ran track and cross country, mowing the city airport - rolling up my shirt sleeves - the darker the tan the better. It wasn't until my youngest daughter was born with my same coloring that I looked at light skin differently. Her skin was fair and undamaged and gorgeous. I started wearing hats every time I was outdoors and sunscreen every day, rain or shine. Unfortunately, it was too late to appreciate my own fair skin and two skin cancers were found on my face within a year. After two very invasive surgeries, I vowed to take care of my skin from here on out! Rodan + Fields has been huge for healing my skin after surgeries, after sun damage, getting that glow back from my youth - as well as offering awesome physical blocking sunscreen to protect it going forward! 


We have products to help with any and all of YOUR skincare concerns and sometimes it is a mixture of various products to fit your needs. That is why I am here - to help you navigate the best products for YOU. The entire reason these Doctors pulled these products out of high end department stores a few years ago was because they knew everyone's skin is SO different - what works for one person's skin doesn't work for the next. It might be an entirely different regimen, different combination of regimens, various products to get beautiful healthy skin to change from the inside out!  Call or message me today and I will give you a free skin assessment to figure out the the best Multi-Med Therapy for your skin right now - these products are designed to deliver the right ingredients, in the right formulations, in the right order to truly transform your skin. You deserve radiant, healthy skin this summer!
