I hate to even admit this but technically I'm not redefining my skincare regimen... I never really had one to begin with. I've always known it's important to wash my face day and night but I'm super guilty of not following that major skincare rule.
I was recently getting my eyelashes done with my friend Mary Beth at Love My Lashes By MB and was talking to her about Rodan & Fields, as she is a consultant and really knows her stuff. I've been curious about the products and have heard nothing but wonderful things, so I finally made the leap and gave them a try for myself. I must say, I'm hooked! I use the Redefine kit, which focuses on firmer, smoother, healthier looking skin.
I also gave the Multi-Function Eye Cream a try because I'm a 30-something mother of two. I can use the help, okay?
The products are about as perfect as can be and even before I saw results I was hooked on the Daily Cleansing Mask. It's the first product used of the four and for me, it's like a great intro of wonderful things to come. The whole process takes 5 minutes, tops. Best part? It doesn't dry out my skin. I always thought if I had been washing my face with products twice a day that my skin would dry out but with the Rodan & Fields products, that doesn't happen.
First, I use a washcloth with water to give my face a quick wipe. Then I apply the Daily Cleansing Mask and let that sit for a minute or two. During that minute, the product dries and forms a "mask." It's got the most gentle (but effective) exfoliation and gets pores nice and clean. I grab a washcloth and remove the Daily Cleansing Mask using warm water. Then I apply the Pore Minimizing Toner. Honestly, when it comes to my skin, pores are the least of my problem. But this toner doesn't just improve pores. It preps skin for the treatment that follows. If you're using the kit, you'll either use the AM (which has SPF 30) or the PM cream for your moisturizer. But for me, since I added the Eye Cream to my routine as well, I use the tiniest bit of eye cream and dab it around my eyes to minimize the appearance of *sigh* crows feet and helps to brighten the eye area while reducing puffiness. (Tired women everywhere... REJOICE!) Lastly, I use moisturizer. The moisturizer is lightweight and absorbs so nicely, leaving me with healthier looking and feeling skin.
I've noticed a great difference in my skin since using these products, and five minutes in the AM & PM is well worth it to me. As I get older I feel like I need to work a bit harder on my skincare, and Rodan & Fields has proven to be the perfect skincare regimen for me. It doesn't take much time, it's easy to use and Mary Beth has been so helpful in pointing me in the right direction as to which products would be best for my skin. She can provide helpful info on an array of products that will target your trouble spots with your skin. (Because let's be truthful here... we ALL have them.) As a consultant, she has products that help with wrinkles, skin tone, acne, anti-aging, skin brightening, etc. I'm excited to try more of the Rodan & Fields products Mary Beth has to offer and as I try them, I will be sure to keep you posted on which are my favorites.
I feel much more comfortable on those days in which I have to go make-up free, whether it be by choice or just because we ran out of time and I don't get to finish getting ready. (Insert eye roll... I know we've all been there before!) I can tell you that, unfortunately, before I started my Rodan & Fields products and before I was getting eyelash extensions with Mary Beth, I most certainly didn't feel very confident to go out with my bare face. Since my skin has improved, my confidence has improved as well!
