5 Ways to Age Backwards with Rodan + Fields


“Within weeks, I began to notice a change in the appearance of my skin.”

–  Rodan + Fields Consultant, Colette






Are you tired of investing in complicated skincare products that dont make a visible difference? Are you looking for real results like Colettes above? If you want to change how your skin looks and feels, whether youre in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or more, then this post is for you!

I’ve been using Rodan + Fields skincare products for over two years now – first as a customer and then as a Consultant – and I’m so happy with the difference they’ve made!

I started using the products at a point when my skin was acting overly sensitive, was very dry, and just didn’t look good in general. Nothing seemed to help improve its condition and I thought I would just have to accept my aging skin (I was 47 at the time). Since committing to a daily R+F skincare routine, my complexion has consistently improved over time. It no longer flares up, its smooth, firm, and has a healthy radiance. As a Consultant, Ive watched my happy customers experience similar results. And at 50 years of age (getting very real here) I feel as if my skin looks better now than it has in years.

You may wonder which of Rodan + Fields life-changing skincare products are the best to start with, when there seems like there are so many to choose from? Today I want to share my top 5 Rodan + Fields favorites with you. These products WILL transform your skin. People will notice the difference. And you will fall in love with R+F like so many others have, but first you need to try them for yourself.



My Five R+F Favorites 



1. Clean the slate with REVERSE

Unless youre suffering from acne or have extremely sensitive skin, I consider Reverse Brightening Regimen to be a great way to introduce Rodan + Fields into your daily routine. Reverse will even out and brighten skin tone while it fights the signs of aging with the help of a powerful combination of Vitamin C and retinol. My favorite part of this skincare routine is the scent of the exfoliating face wash (luscious and relaxing, it has a hint of citrus and peppermint). Using Reverse feels like enjoying a spa facial at home, but at a fraction of the cost. And the results are just as impressive!









2. Get rolling with AMP MD for best results

What if I told you that rolling a bunch of tiny micro-needles across your face and neck area for just one minute a day could significantly change the firmness and overall texture of your skin? Would you try it if I told you it doesnt actually hurt? The AMP MD roller is the essential add-on tool to improve how the multi-med therapy products from Rodan + Fields work. This patented, hand-held roller creates tiny channels in the top layer of the skin which then allow the next application of product to sink deeper into the tissue. The micro-abrasive action signals the body to send collagen to repair the rolled area. More collagen means plumper, younger looking skin! The roller works especially well on the fine lines around the lips (add Lip Renewing Serum for even more improvement), to firm up the skin on the neck, and to improve the appearance of the forehead, brow, and decollete. Regular use on troubled areas can help to even out scarring. Some users even swear by the AMP MD system to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks (although this particular use has not been clinically tested in the RF labs). Thats a lot of benefits for just one minute of self care each night!   








3. Boost those lashes!

Since Rodan + Fields launched Lash Boost in October of 2016, it has been receiving rave reviews! The after photos really speak for themselves (see mine below). With just one thin swipe of this lash nourishing serum (rich with keratin, biotin, and peptides) on the top lash line each night, lashes start to look noticeably longer, fuller, and even darker in just a couple of weeks. After 4 weeks they really start to pop, and after 8 weeks or more they are show stopping! Add your favorite mascara and the results are pretty dramatic. RF Lash Boost serum even works on helping to fill in sparse brows. Many of my customers who used to love lash extensions, are now much happier seeing the growth of their own natural lashes. They also love that Lash Boost is much less time consuming to apply and they no longer have to schedule costly maintenance appointments. If you love the look of long, lush lashes, you need to give Lash Boost a try! 60 day money back satisfaction guaranteed. 











4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!


Dryness makes skin look older than it is. When skin is hydrated, it looks and acts younger. This oil-free super serum (30% glycerin combined with hyaluronic acid) will actually raise your skins hydration level by 200% after just one use and it will continue to hydrate your skin for up to 8 hours, drawing moisture from the environment (that’s why they call it active). All you need is just a few drops morning and night before layering a moisturizer on top. Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, or even oily, Active Hydration Serum will balance out your skins hydration, giving your complexion a youthful glow that you will love!







5. Stay firm

When youre fighting the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness, you need to employ the best defense against time, using hard working ingredients on a daily basis. The Redefine line from Rodan + Fields has what you need. It starts with a kaolin clay mask that gently cleanses and smooths the skin, followed up by a pore minimizing toner, plus daily and nightly moisturizers that feature Hyaluronic acid, retinol and peptides. The Age Assault special bundle also includes the cant-live-a-day-without Multi-Function Eye Cream along with both Night Renewing Serum and Lip Serum. Enjoy special savings on ALL of these skin transforming products when purchased together.

7 Beauty Must-Haves




While making our homes look their best is rewarding, treating our skin to the same pampering is a makeover that travels with us (no need to pull out our iPhone to show our latest renovation project when our healthy glowing skin can radiate the results!) And truthfully, it costs a lot less to invest in great skincare products than it does to makeover a room, plus the “after is so very worth it!

I have had a lot of happy interior design clients over the years. I now also have a large group of very happy Rodan + Fields clients who are loving their new looks! One recently was raving to our mutual friends about the difference these products have made for her complexion AND for her confidence. As someone who is face to face with her own clients every day, she was thrilled to see her skin improve so quickly. She had been feeling like there was nothing she could do to stop the signs of aging. And while getting older is truly a gift, not many of us enjoy looking tired (even when we are not) or seeing the signs of prolonged sun exposure looking back at us in the mirror each morning. My friend’s new daily routine of proper hydration and effective exfoliation has left her now well-cared-for skin with a noticeable glow ... even her co-workers have commented on the difference!


Having youthful looking skin really is just a matter of using the right ingredients in the right order to get the best results. R+F products are clinically proven to do just that. Below are 7 of my customer favorites.



REDEFINE Daily Regimen with Daily Cleansing Mask, Pore Minimizing Toner, Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 and Overnight Restorative Cream (60 day supply)

Works wonders while reducing the appearance of lines, pores, and loss of firmness. Use this twice a day for best results. Did you know that going to bed without washing your face at night can age your skin by 18 days? If this is your typical routine, do the math. Scary, right?







REDEFINE AMP MD System with Micro-exfoliating Roller and Night Renewing Serum (Roller lasts one year, Serum is a 60 day supply)

Improves product absorption, enhancing results, while creating a more luminous and refined appearance. Check out the video below to see just how easy it is to incorporate the roller into a daily routine. To have micro-needling done at a salon or spa can costs hundreds of dollars per visit. This at-home tool enables the same benefits for far less on a daily basis. And no, it does not hurt! Applying light pressure goes a long way and allows the products to get below the top layer of the skin for best results.












Acute Care “Fill a Wrinkle While You Sleep” Skincare Strips (One month regimen includes 10 pairs of strips)

Award-winning alternative to injectables. See long lasting results after just 10 sessions. I call these “special occasion” strips. Perfect to use a month before a special event like a class reunion or a wedding. Lots of my customers love to order these before the holidays when they have lots of events to go to, but little time to rest in between.





Best eye cream out there! Use morning and night to significantly reduce the appearance of puffy eyes, fine lines, and crows feet. Also keeps dark circles at bay (my personal skincare nemesis!!) One jar lasts about 5 months!






When your skin is starting to look its best after treating it to a daily skincare regimen from Rodan + Fields, you will find yourself able to ditch your heavy cover up foundation completely! A nice alternative is this light wearing powder (comes in Light, Medium and Bronze) which provides a layer of sun protection while imparting a soft matte finish to your complexion. I love how easy it is to simply dust-and-go, plus the retractable brush can be filled with powder then thrown in a purse for travel purposes. 





With summer in New England coming to an end, there is still a way to keep that golden glow. This foaming tanner goes on easy, has a pleasant scent, and creates a sun-kissed look without exposing the skin to harmful rays. Customers love this one!! Pair it with the sugar-salt scrub formula of the Micro-Dermabrasion Paste below for best results.





High glide formula for a brighter, refined complexion. Features vitamins C and E. Great as a mini-facial or to smooth rough spots on elbows, heels, and more.

Top 5 Gifts to Give (or Receive) from R+F


Now that I have your attention (how cute is that fresh-shaved face?!) I’d love to share with you some of my favorite Rodan + Fields skincare products for this holiday giving season!

First up is just for the guys ...



1. Beyond the Shave gift set for men

The Beyond the Shave regimen has been specially curated to provide men with an easy way to incorporate skincare into their daily routine. Step 1 is used as a shaving cream that softens the beard while also pulling impurities from the skin. Step 2 soothes and treats any nicks and cuts after the shave while Step 3 moisturizes and protects from future sun damage that ages skin. All 3 together provide significant overall improvement to the skin that guys (and those who love them!) can both see and feel. I’d say this gift is a win-win! The set comes in a handsome gift box for a limited time only while supplies last.

Retail price $180 / Preferred Customer price $162




2. For her: Lip protection gift set

Next up is something special for her. The Holiday Lip Promotion bundles three top selling lip care items at over 20% OFF regular price. This limited time only gift box set contains Enhancements Lip Microdermabrasion stick which gently exfoliates the lips, 60 capsules of Redefine Lip Renewing Serum which delivers antioxidants and peptides that smooth and condition, and a set of two Essential Lip Shield moisturizing lip balms that hydrate and protect throughout the day. Lips will be mistletoe ready in no time! 

Retail price $67 / Preferred Customer price $60 






3. Everyday skincare essentials

The Essentials and Enhancements collections offer a little something for everyone on your list. Whether you are looking for thoughtful appreciation gifts or special stocking stuffers, these daily use products will show you care with each and every use. Preferred Customer prices range from $14 – $22 for Essential items, $53 for Mineral Peptide Powder with Brush, and $70 for the Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. A group of these together would make a great gift basket!







4. Redefine Hand Treatment Regimen

Winter hands need special care and this pair of products delivers beautifully! The Redefine Brightening Treatment addresses the tell-tale signs of aging like sun spots, crepey skin, wrinkles and dryness. It is paired in this set with the Redefine Age Shield Hand Balm which is one of my personal favorites (it smells SO good and my hands have never been softer!) Together, the Redefine Hand Treatment Regimen makes a thoughtful gift to the people on your list who are ALWAYS going out of their way to lend a hand to take care of others.   

Retail price $67 / Preferred Customer price $60







5. Eye Cream and Eye Cloths combo

Put a twinkle in someone’s eye with the super popular Redefine Multi-Function Eye Cream. This tiny jar (which lasts about four months) is big on results – fighting wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles with powerful peptides and skin brighteners. FYI: men love this product as much as women! The Redefine Eye Cloths are the perfect companion product to the Eye Cream. They are great at quickly sweeping away make-up or freshening the face while on the go (they are great after a workout!) 

Retail price $90 / Preferred Customer price $81




Preferred Customers (or PC Perks program members) always get 10% OFF all products plus FREE shipping on orders placed every 60 days, along with customer service provided by yours truly! To sign up as a PC, the one-time enrollment fee is just $19.95. This is the best way to invest in the benefits of treating your skin – or the skin of those you love – to Rodan + Fields. Rodan + Fields Gift Certificates are also available in the denomination of your choice (ask me for details!)




Anyone who signs up as a Preferred Customer this month will receive a BONUS GIFT from me in the mail (please leave a comment below or send me an email so that I know you read this post!)

A Beautiful Before + After Giveaway!




For years I have been posting Before + After photos from my client’s home makeovers. Creating beautiful living spaces that are comfortable and inviting, while adding designer touches that they might not have thought of on their own, has been a rewarding process. I love when my clients are happy with their makeover transformations!

Recently I experienced a transforming before and after of my own. A friend of mine invited me to try Rodan + Fields, a top-selling skin care product line formerly sold in fine department stores, now sold exclusively through independent consultants who share the benefits of the products mainly through social media and sometimes at hosted events.



Soothe Regimen for Sensitive, Irritated Skin and Facial Redness

Before R+F, my sensitive skin had been acting up for years, and I was having a hard time finding the right combination of products to address redness and irritation. Makeup helped, but constantly covering up the problem wasnt addressing the underlying poor condition of my skin. Topical medications hadnt alleviated the problem either. I figured if the Rodan + Fields Soothe line for sensitive skin could solve my skin challenges, I would share the product with others, just as my friend had with me. 



“To see real changes in your skin’s appearance, you need to use the right concentration of clinically active ingredients in the right formulations and in the right order.”


Rodan + Fields formulas offer a multi-med therapy approach to skin care, utilizing a tested combination of cosmetic and active over-the-counter ingredients “in the right formulation in the right order to visibly improve the complexion. Almost immediately after starting my new Soothe regimen, the texture and condition of my skin improved dramatically. And I have to admit, I really like having this new morning and evening self-care routine as part of my daily ritual. The multiple step approach (wash, treat, moisturize, protect) feels very spa-like and I am definitely impressed with the results.


After five weeks of using Rodan + Fields, my skin now has a healthy glow, and I am not feeling the need to cover up with foundation as soon as I wake up. An added bonus is my typically dark under eye circles are becoming less noticeable, too, and I haven’t even switched from Soothe to the more powerful anti-aging regimens like Reverse or Redefine yet!








True to my word, I now want to share these fabulous products with others. As a brand ambassador for Rodan + Fields, I’d like to treat my blog readers to a special giveaway. To enter to win, all you have to do is visit my R+F consultant page and give the Solution Tool a try. By answering the questions provided (it should take less than 5 minutes) you will receive (via email) a customized skincare routine recommendation for your specific skin challenges. Its like having a complimentary consult with a dermatologist without an appointment (Dr. Kathy Fields and Dr. Katie Rodan are the board certified dermatologists behind Rodan + Fields success). Couldnt be easier!
