Does Your Bathroom Look Like This?

Does your bathroom look like this? Loads of half used products that don't really work that well?

Think about it: if those products worked we’d be using them up, right? But they don’t- at least never to our complete satisfaction, so what happens? 

We end up buying MORE sub-par stuff in the hopes of finally finding something that works. At my house I literally cut open my R+F containers to get every last drop out! If you want to break this nasty (and wasteful!) cycle, I can help!
The Rodan + Fields promise is that you will NEVER again be stuck with products that don’t work for you. Everything we offer comes with a 60 day money-back guarantee....60 DAYS!!

Brittany Lanier, R+F Consultant

Rodan + Fields Independent Consultant Brittany Lanier shares her life-changing journey to clear skin and her remarkable results from using the UNBLEMISH Regimen. 
July_RealityCheck_HERO
Aside from the vows, the sweetest words 25-year-old Brittany Lanier heard on her wedding day were, “You have such good skin.” After suffering from chronic acne for years, Brittany knows firsthand what an emotional rollercoaster the devastating skin condition can bring—and it’s a growing concern today. Many of us don’t give acne a second thought in our post-teen years, but the number of patients over the age of 25 treated for acne is increasing, and 54% of them are women.

Brittany first noticed her forehead breaking out the summer before 7th grade. It continued through high school, culminating during college when she spent a semester abroad in Ghana, Africa. Her face became covered in cystic acne due to environmental conditions and dietary changes. After returning home, her confidence took a huge hit. “I suffered extreme sadness and self-consciousness and spent a lot of time at home, making any excuse I could to not have to go out and socialize.”
When her dermatologist couldn’t find a solution, Brittany took control of her skin’s future. “I decided to completely re-route my diet, skincare and exercise routine.” She started using the UNBLEMISH Regimen twice a day and ENHANCEMENTS Micro-dermabrasion Paste three times a week (when her skin wasn’t sensitive, red or irritated). She also began to eat healthier, exercised more, and wore less makeup. “I started to see improvement around weeks four to six. My skin completely cleared up after eight to nine weeks.”
Brittany gives her skincare routine and her lifestyle changes credit for improving her life in more ways than one. Now she associates taking care of her skin with disconnecting from daily stress, and physically cleaning off chaos. “Without habit, consistency and routine, you are unlikely to ever find results.” Ultimately, Brittany became a Consultant because of her “love for UNBLEMISH,” and she takes joy in sharing her story with friends, family and Customers.

Ketosis Pilaris (sometimes referred to as chicken skin) is hard to treat without prescription medications that often don't work or dry out the skin.

Cetaphil: Why the Popular Cleanser Isn't Doing Your Skin Any Favors

First published on wellandgood.com





Cetaphil probably has the best PR of any facial soap. Beauty magazines gush over it as a no-frills $8 must-have. Dermatologists love to recommend it as a mild and non-irritating facial cleanser for two reasons: it doesn’t contain fragrance and, more tellingly, because MDs have a big Pharma love affair with the manufacturer, Galderma, the offspring of Nestlé and L’Oréal, which also makes acne drugs like Differin.
And yet there’s nothing healthy about this face-washing prescription.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser contains just eight ingredients: water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben.
All but the water are chemically manufactured (let’s hope), and propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and the three parabens have a seat on the dirty dozen, a list of cosmetic ingredients to avoid as potentially toxic.
One look at the label and you’ve got to go “Wait a minute! What?” says Spirit Demerson, who analyzes skin-care ingredients for Spirit Beauty Lounge, her online natural beauty store. “Cetaphil does not contain even one single beneficial ingredient and what it does contain is the equivalent of toxic sludge. Whether you think it’s keeping your skin healthy or not, it is absorbed into your bloodstream and research has proven almost all of the few ingredients in it are carcinogenic. I know it’s hard to imagine that washing your face can give you cancer but it’s worth consideration.”
Julia March, a top NYC facialist, says that so many New Yorkers believe that Cetaphil is healthy, they tend ignore the ingredients completely. “Cetyl alcohol, an emollient used in many cosmetics, is essentially a wax,” says March. “Propylene glycol is a common humectant (meaning it brings moisture from the air to the skin), but it also enhances product and chemical penetration into the skin and blood stream. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a foaming agent, and skin and eye irritant, that disturbs the healthy lipid barrier of the skin, and parabens are a group of preservatives being phased out for potential health risks.”
Given that there’s actually nothing clean about this cleanser, it’s rather amazing that millions of women think their skin will freak out if they use anything else. “It may not irritate skin very much, but it probably won’t help it much either,” says Nicole Yih, Assistant Spa Director at the Mandarin Oriental New York. That’s because there’s nothing in Cetaphil that nurtures skin. No antioxidants that help fight free radical damage; not a dribble of omega-rich plant seed oils that fortify the skin barrier; and not a drop of skin-calming botanicals.

A cleanser that you use twice a day should be judged on what it gives your skin. Consider this your new cleanser criterion.
