Ever since this post, I've been testing out gazillions (feels like it) of skincare products to see what I like the most.
Within the first week of using this line of products, I knew this was the answer to my skincare and anti-aging needs. However, I wanted to use it for a little while longer and be 100% sure before I actually posted about it for my readers...
I am happy and EXCITED to say that I loved each and every thing about this line of products from Rodan + Fields. After I posted asking for everyone's skincare secrets, my friend Kelly called me and said, "Lauren, what have you been using? You need to use Rodan and Fields!" So, because Kelly is the mother of a 12 year old and still looks like she does (please see her GORGEOUS pictures below), I took her advice...
She could not have been more right. We have both tried pretty much EVERY product under the sun... (from Saks, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, Earthsavers, the dermatologist, etc.) and this is by far our favorite and the most effective... and it does not irritate your skin.
Why is it so great?? Where do I begin...
First, let me say that I was incredibly hesitant to try something that wasn't really mainstream or sold conventionally. Then, I found out Rodan and Fields was originally sold in department stores like Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, and Nordstrom. It was actually Nordstrom's #1 skincare product in 2005 before the doctors of Rodan and Fields decided to market and sell the brand differently.
With that new info, and knowing these doctors also created Proactiv, I decided to give it a try. I swear I could tell a difference in my skin after my first night of use. The overnight cream and night renewing serum just did wonders on my skin. It felt so soft and moisturized (but not greasy) the next morning. And after just one week, I could see a major difference in the fine lines on my face.
So, I loved the product line, but I didn't know if I wanted to actually sign up to receive products every month, etc (you do not HAVE to do this). At first, I did this because in the long run it was cheaper- then I found that it kept me from skimping on the products (i.e. not using them every day or not using enough of the product). Knowing that I was going to do a re-order anyway made me eagerly use the products and also try some of the other R+F products (like the self tanner, Macro Exfoliator, Microdermabrasion Paste, I could go on and on!). I have loved everything I have tried so far, and as I've said before, if I DO NOT like something, I will not recommend it to you. (more posts to come on these other products)
After doing more and more research on the company, I decided to become a consultant. I love that I am now representing this line of skincare products that I truly love and believe in. There are 4 different lines for different skin types, so everyone can improve their skin according to their own needs. Not to mention, I was using the products regardless, so becoming a consultant gave me a MAJOR discount. Mark my words, use it a few weeks and you will have better skin than you thought you ever could.
My skincare regimen consists of the REDEFINE products. I use the Daily Cleansing Mask, Pore Minimizing Toner, Night Renewing Serum, a.m. Triple Defense Treatment Cream (with SPF 30), p.m. Overnight Restorative Cream, and the Lip Renewing Serum every single day.
Yes it may seem like a lot, but I honestly look forward to it every night. It's my little ritual before bed. I love that I feel like I'm doing something good for myself and pampering myself every single night (because I am... goodbye wrinkles!).

| My Nightly Ritual |

Night Renewing Serum: a potent, proprietary blend of peptides and retinol; patented time-release technology; it is a retinol in a form that will not irritate your skin!
Lip Renewing Serum: contains peptides and antioxidants that help lips retain moisture, smoothes lip texture, and reduces the appearance of lines in your lip... I think it has even plumped my lips!

| You massage this facewash onto your skin (it's lightly exfoliating)... let it dry about 1-2 mins then wash off. I love it because it doesn't dry out your face but still gets it really clean. |
And one more thing:
Goodbye to the "product graveyard" in my bathroom closet. I am sick and tired of using something for a few weeks and not seeing results... or for that matter, using it and seeing results like crazy- extreme peeling, redness, etc. They say to wait and that's the process- yeah right. Who really has the time to have a red and peeling face every so often?? It seemed like it never ended.
