Skin Care Questions for the New Year - Rodan + Fields

.



It’s a new year and I really want to have beautiful skin that looks clear and refreshed. Which regimen should I try?

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to begin using the REVERSE Regimen to address discolorations and dull and uneven skin tone that result from hormones, post-acne dark marks and sun damage. Once skin is cleared of this unevenness, it will appear more radiant and healthy-looking. The medicines, in combination with botanical brighteners and sunscreen, lighten, brighten and protect the skin. Over weeks to months, skin will look progressively more clear and radiant, giving you freedom from having to wear foundation.


My skin is usually very dry and in the winter the dryness is unbearable. What can I use?

It sounds like your moisture barrier has been compromised. To fortify the delicate moisture barrier, we recommend our SOOTHE Regimen. Independent clinical studies resulted in an 80% reduction in peeling after five minutes and an 80% reduction after two weeks. Also, there was a 79% reduction in dryness after five minutes and a 74% reduction after two weeks. In addition, you might try using a humidifier. Indoor heaters suck moisture from the air, exacerbating dry skin conditions.


Thank you to Mary Radford, RN; Director of the RF Connection at Rodan + Fields Dermatologists for the answers to these questions this month.

Nurse Mary and her team of Nurses and trained product experts at the RF Connection stand ready to answer your product and skin related questions.





Disclosure: I am an independent skin care consultant with Rodan + Fields and I would love to help you discover what skin care regimen is right for you or how becoming a business partner with me can change your life. Please head on over to my website to see the products or to learn more about how this incredible opportunity is changing skin and changing lives.

Happy 77th Birthday Elvis Presley - You're Still the King!

.


Today Elvis Presley would have been 77 years old - did any of you think I'd let this day pass without mentioning it??? I bet if he was still around, he would be  rockin' and shaking his hips and making ladies (myself included) swoon. A beautiful life taken much too soon. Here is something from me to him....




He was The King of Rock and always will be....

Some great photos throughout his amazing life:




HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVIS
You will always be #1 to me!!


Thank you to abcNEWS and RareElvisPresley.com for the photos.

I forgot yesterday was Sunday, so I'm late again....

Welcome to 2012's Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We are going to make this meme SPECTACULAR this year!!  But of course, we cannot do that without all of you... so come on share your music with us and get your friends to share with us, too. Our fearless leader is none other that the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly. Helping her keep this train running ar ME, my dear friend Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and the lovely Callie of Jamerican Spice.  We will also have some helpers along the way when we need to because life is.... well, life!

Today's theme, chosen by our very own Stacy, is "Duets" - so pick your songs, write up your post and share with us because we love music and we love you all.


Here is what I have been grooving to today:


This is such a beautiful song and it reminds me of the Community Chorus I belonged to in Connecticut when I lived up there. I dedicate it to my dear friend, Betsy who was in the Chorus with me and unexpectedly lost her life on Monday, Dec. 26th - Rest in Peace, Betsy, I love you and you will be missed.....


The Prayer ~ Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli




Another beautiful one .....


I'm your Angel ~ Celine Dion and R Kelly




..... and of course I had to get back to my roots with my all time favorite:


In the Ghetto ~ Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley

'Tis the Season for Healthy Skin

.



‘Tis the season for little black dresses, holiday parties and New Year’s toasts – with the continuous flow of holiday celebration, December and January offer endless reasons and opportunities to indulge in a drink … or two. While there’s no shame in the occasional glass of champagne, remember that alcohol can take a toll on your appearance. Check out this week’s webisode of Skinpact News, “Raise A Glass To Good Skin” for insights from Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields on how you can counter the undesirable effects of alcohol on your skin.



Watch more webisodes of Skinpact News at www.facebook.com/rodanandfields.

If there is anything I can do to help you with your skin, let me know by checking out my Rodan + Fields website or contact me at LJSBlog@aol.com.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy new year!
