Here Comes the Sun

Ahhh, the sun. It helps things grow. It lights our days. It provides warmth. And, it wreaks havoc on your skin!

We all want that great glow. But, we all know how important it is to protect your skin.

As has been proven over and over again ... exposure to sun causes everything from premature wrinkles to cancer.

So, what is a girl to do?!

At Rodan+Fields, we are big fans of sunless tanning so here are a few tricks of the trade on how to get ready for the season:

1. Exfoliate your body before applying your sunless tanner. This will slough off dead skin cells where sunless tanners like to stick, creating uneven color development.
2. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer around your ankles, elbows, knees and wrists before you apply your sunless tanner. This will keep the sunless tanner from concentrating in these problem areas.

SPECIAL OFFER: For the month of May, get a FREE foaming sunless tanner with any preferred customer purchase of $80 or more. That's a $24 value!

March Madness ... the Final Four!

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am a sports junkie ... football, baseball, basketball, golf, volleyball, swimming, gymnastics, skating, croquet, badminton ... heck, PING-PONG! You name it, I'll watch it. Okay, I might draw the line at curling (sorry to my Canadian friends. LOL)

So, you can imagine how happy the month of March makes me. You've got the NCAA extravaganza, baseball Spring training, games in the NBA that actually matter ... and golf's Master's Tournament right around the corner.

Obviously, in terms of the NCAA ... we are down to the Final Four.

*insert shameless plug and loud cheer for the UK Wildcats*

BUT, that's not the only thing down to the "final four" ... it is also the final four days to take advantage of our FREE product offer!

Yes, my friends ... my favorite four-letter word (ok, besides love, sale and Jovi) ...

Channeling a Bit of Cher, Perhaps

*currently singing "If I Could Turn Back Time" in my head*

I just received my April copy of Vogue yesterday in the mail. And, in it was an article touting the benefits of retinol in combating the signs of aging. Reading it made me smile. Why? Because Drs. Rodan and Fields have been using it in their Anti-Age Night Renewing Serum for quite some time and I've already seen and experienced the remarkable results it can achieve.

Actually, this is one of the very first products I tried from the company. In conjunction with the micro-derm abrasion paste and the lip serum (which I talked about in this post), you can create your own incredible, cost-effective mini-facial. The serum minimizes pore size and leaves your skin so silky soft you'd swear you turned back the clock ten years (cue: Cher song here! LOL)

But, unlike the products featured in the article, I like that our serum comes in single-use capsules. Therefore, you always are using the right amount and it's always "fresh."

Here's a "vintage" video of the doctors talking about what has become one of our best-selling products ...



So ... why not get "in vogue" and see what retinol can do for you?!

Save $1,200 ... and Your Sanity!

So, flipping through my beloved New York Times yesterday, I saw this article and I knew I just HAD to write about this!

...“As you get older, your hands lose volume, fat and elasticity,” said Dr. John F. Farella, a plastic surgeon with offices in Mount Kisco, N.Y.

“Look at Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker,” said Dr. Keith Marcus, a facial plastic surgeon in Redondo Beach, Calif. “They have amazing bodies, but their hands have aged. You can almost see Madonna’s veins popping out.”

Everything they were saying about your hands showing your age was absolutely true. Our hands are almost always exposed to the sun, the weather, detergents and other chemicals, etc. and that definitely takes its toll.

BUT, there's a better answer than having tissue injected under your skin ... at the cost of $1,200 to $1,500!

It's called Rodan + Fields Anti-Age Hand Treatment. With two easy (and PAINLESS) steps, you can return your hands to their more youthful days. And, for $67 (even less as a preferred customer!)

So, which one would you prefer?

Named one of the Top 10 Skin products of last year in MORE Magazine (look at no #6 on the left hand page), it brightens skin, diminishes visible redness, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and thin skin.

(this was after just ONE use!)

Hmm, I think I'd rather have this ...




















...than this!

Do Dream Jobs Even Exist?

What if you went on an interview for a job and when your future boss asked what you wanted in terms of compensation, you replied:

1. I expect to receive a 16-26% commission on everything I sell.
2. I expect to receive a LEXUS when my team achieves $125,000 in volume.
3. I want to be able to get a promotion at anytime ... not only annually.
4. I expect to be compensated a percentage of the sales of every person I bring in.
5. Oh, and when I bring them in, I want a cash bonus.
6. I expect praise and recognition and a free iPad and additional cash bonuses.
7. I expect you to provide me with the very best in-person and online training.
8. I would like my friends and family to work here, too.
9. By the way, I need to set my own schedule and work only when it suits me and my family.

So ... when do I start?!

The business owner would look at you like you were crazy, right?

Not at Rodan + Fields.

You actually CAN have all those things listed above. Add to that, the opportunity to surround yourself with positive, successful and forward-looking business partners. Add to THAT, the backing of two of the most recognized dermatologists on the planet, the creators of Proactiv Solution®.

Take a look at THIS VIDEO ...

The dream job DOES exist. Simply e-mail me at jennagel14@gmail.com to apply.

Product Spotlight: Lip Renewing Serum

Few things make me happier than knowing I've helped a friend.

One of my recent new clients is a fellow musician friend. As woodwind players, our lips take a beating. And when your lips are sore, cracked and dry it can make practicing and performing painful. So, you can imagine how absolutely pleased I was when I opened my email this morning and read this message from her ... "I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lip stuff. My lips feel so much better, better than they have felt in YEARS."

Ahh, music to my ears!

What was "the lip stuff" she was referring to? It's our Anti-Age Lip Renewing Serum.

This is no mere chapstick. These single-dose capsules provide the perfect balance of peptides and anti-oxidants to help restore and maintain softer, fuller, healthier lips.

Bottom line, as the rest of your skin ages, so do your lips. And, I don't know about you, but the thought of Botox and injected lip plumpers scares the bajeezers out of me! Still, I want my lips to stay kissable for as long as possible! *wink*

Note: Consider combining this with the Essentials SPF 25 Lip Shield for everyday use. Contact me at jennagel14@gmail.com about ordering.

p.s. this awesome serum was featured in the October 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar.

In the Press..Again!

R+F products are always making news. Here are just two recent mentions ...

In the March edition of Allure Magazine, beauty editors discuss the best and worst in doctor-created skincare.

Rodan + Fields is proud to be featured as one of the BEST, with Allure’s standout choice being our Anti-Age Night Renewing Serum.

Cosmetic Chemist Ni’Kita Wilson considers the encapsulated dose of peptides and retinol: “Proven ingredients in a very clever delivery system. The capsules preserve the retinol so you get the right amount every time.”

Personal note: this is one of my absolute favorite products. It leaves your skin silky smooth. Use it in combination with our AMP-MD roller for best results.

oh, wait! keep reading ...

And in the March edition of Prevention Magazine, Rodan + Fields AMP-MD derma-roller is featured in an article on natural anti-aging alternatives to invasive procedures.

Named last year's "Must Have Anti-Aging Product" by the TODAY Show, our ground-breaking needling tool continues to attract the eye of beauty editors around the world.

And, when used in conjunction with our peptide and retinol serum, you'll be packing a one-two punch in keeping your skin youthful looking.
