Rodan + Fields: My Story!


This is the one post that I'm not gonna write about my kids. I know! A life outside of my kids? Who knew I could ever have something to discuss (and have fun doing it) besides my family?

This company is really THAT good. :) 

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a) not a salesperson, and b) not someone you'd consult for a beauty product. Ha! But I, for so long (well, for forever really), have not had a good skin care routine. My friend and I were talking the other day about how your face is pretty much what defines you from here on out, and it's important that we 20 and 30 year olds learn to take care of it now. So, my lovely sister-in-law, Rachel, came and presented me with this fairly new line of skin care products created by the dermatologists who also created Proactiv (hence, the name "Rodan and Fields"). I had used Proactiv in my younger years, and it worked for me, so I knew this wasn't some quack business -- Afterall, Proactiv is the #1 acne control system in the world!

So, I'm a skeptic... of all things really. I bought my regimen from Rachel trusting her enthusiasm about the products and hoping I would like it as much as she did. I got it in the mail within a few days after ordering, and I knew within a few days after using that it was something I had to help my friends and family get their hands on! Aging genetics in my family isn't all that great... My grandmother had a full face lift when she was in her 40s. If that's what I'm gonna battle, I want to start preventing it now!
I have had horrible skin for as long as I can remember, and I've always had hormones to blame. Before kids, it was just being a typical teenager or college stress.. Then, it was my pregnancies, nursing, quitting nursing, etc. Now, I have no more hormonal excuses! I just needed a good regimen, but I didn't know how to find one. I would go into Ulta and wonder around like a lost puppy looking for something to help, but I wasn't sure if I was buying the right thing for my skin type or not, and I didn't know if I would get the results the bottle said I should. This regimen has done everything stated on the box and more! I wish I would've found it a long time ago!

And like I said, I'm not a salesperson. I wouldn't sell just anything, but I do LOVE helping people. These products are truly impressive, so I'm comfortable talking about them, and I'm confident in the results. I'd never sell diet gimmicks, because I just see the roller coasters they put people on with weight gain and weight loss. I have a degree in Nutritional Sciences.. I know what works, and that's a lifestyle change! And to sell makeup and do makeovers is not my forte, but I'll sell a product that will help you look good without it! Haha! So, here are some of the basic products.. in case you're looking for a good skin care routine.

There are 4 different regimens - which you can choose from depending on your needs - and any of them can be mix matched, too. I have mix matched mine.




*The REDEFINE regimen is for anti-age. It visibly firms skin and minimizes pores.

*The REVERSE regimen is for dark spots, sun damage, and dullness. It even fades freckles!

*The SOOTHE regimen is for sensitive skin. It helps with facial redness, uneven tones, and even can be used for eczema and psoriasis. Safe for kids, too!

*The UNBLEMISH Regimen is for acne. It's an improved formula from Proactiv.

This is just a glimpse at the MANY products you can find with Rodan + Fields. If any of it interests you, call, text, or send me a message on facebook! I would love to help get you started on some amazing skincare. I have a store where you can shop online, and you can take a quiz to help you figure out which regimen you need, too. And! If you're unsatisfied with any of these products, you can send them back for a full refund - even if the bottle is empty!
