Get your Glow On!

It’s time to get your glow on! Summer is just weeks away and spring has already sprung. You know what that means…time to dig out those shorts, skirts, shortsleeves, and tanktops. Not to mention your bathing suits! But if you have learned anything from reading my blog, then you know that the sun is not really a good thing for your skin.  It can cause cancer for one thing. But also it is the number one enemy when it comes to aging.  Basically anyone you see with freckles or a tan has sun damage.  Sounds crazy but it’s true! Sure they look cute or sexy or whatever, but in a few years they will be paying the price in one way or another. So when you put on your warm weather gear that exposes your skin, don’t forget to put on sunscreen! You will be glad you did in the long run. You may be saying, “yeah, but what about the Vitamin D we get from the sun! We need that…” This is true, but you can take Vitamin D supplements which work just as well. Rodan and Fields even can provide you with an EXCELLENT Vitamin D supplement. Click here to learn more about it.  Although sunscreen is a preventative maintenance thing (much like vitamins) and you don’t see the benefits right away… trust me. You should be proud of yourself that you used it. Just know that your body is saying “Thank you!”. Although you shouldn’t be laying out in the sun trying to get a tan, that doesn’t mean you can’t get one! (Enter sunless tanner…)

This stuff is GREAT! It is so good in fact that it has been sold out and JUST came back on the market! So get it while you still can.  I wrote a blog post some time back about this stuff, so I will simply recap. It is a foam which makes it MUCH easier to distribute evenly on your skin.  It doesn’t leave you looking orange which means you will look like you have a natural tan. It doesn’t have an awful smell like all of the others you’ve tried before. It is also very affordable! If you want to learn more about this great product, I suggest you look back in my blog archives and read my write-up on it. OR you can always email me or call me to discuss.

While I have done a write-up on this product as well, let me just re-state the obvious. You NEED this product to protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun and to fight off the signs of aging.  The more you can protect yourself from the sun. the younger you will look as the years roll by.  Rodan and Fields are extremely serious about sun protection, so you can bet this sunscreen is one of THE best that money can buy.

Acne…. It’s not just for teens anymore.

Adult Acne is a real thing.  Just because you finally made it into adulthood doesn’t mean that you’re immune to acne.  In fact, research says that 25% of adult men have acne, and 50% of adult women have acne as well.  Often times, many of these adults made it through their youth without any skin problems, and then as adults they are struck with acne.  How can this be?  Well, it turns out Adult Acne is often brought on by changes in hormone levels, stress, changes in diet, and certain medications can cause it also.

So what can a person do about it?  Wash your face daily!  (But not more than twice a day)  Use your hands rather than a washcloth when washing your face.  And pat your face dry with a towel instead of rubbing it.  It is recommended that you use a gentle cleanser, then use an over-the-counter cream or lotion such as Retinoids.  Sulfer, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid are all excellent ingredients to look for when choosing one of these products.

There also many medications out there that can be prescribed to help treat your acne.  Often times, women can get on the birth control pill and find some relief.  In this particular case, the pill controls their hormones thereby correcting their acne problems.  There is even a high-blood pressure medicine that is known to work wonders for Adult Acne sufferers, but it usually takes at least 3 months before it really starts to work.  And of course there are specific medications out there that are specifically designed to treat acne.

Aside from medication, there are other treatments available that you can get from your dermatologist. Light therapy, or PDT, uses lasers to treat acne. However, some people say it hurts. Vacuum therapy also works with lights. Both of these options can be expensive, but they are an option.

One of the most important things when dealing with acne at any age is DON’T POP your pimples! You will just irritate the skin more and it will take the pimple that much longer to heal.

Rodan and Fields makes a great product for treating acne at any age called Unblemish.  You can bet your bottom dollar that it is extremely effective, because after all…. Doctors Rodan and Fields are the same doctors who created the world-famous As Seen on TV acne treatment called Proactiv.  Proactiv dominates over 80% of the acne market. This should tell you that these doctors know what they’re doing when it comes to treating acne.  They created Unblemish when they developed their signature line of anti-aging products.  Unblemish is basically Proactiv on steroids and is an extremely effective treatment for acne sufferers of any age.  The ingredients found in this formula are top of the line.

So if you or anyone you know suffers from acne (be it a young person or an adult) and they are in need of a skincare regimen that will actually successfully treat their acne, I would strongly suggest they try Unblemish. As always, Rodan and Fields offers a 60 day empty jar money back guarantee on their products, so if for some reason you aren’t satisfied, you can return the product and get your money back.  You can’t do that with many products out there. And if you take a look at the before and after pictures I have posted below you will see why so many people are so happy with this product.

So please go to my website: SkinYouWereBornIn.com to learn more about Unblemish and how to purchase it.  Also check out our other amazing skincare products while you are there.  There really is something for everybody there.  Taking care of your skin is more important than you might think.  Not only does having beautiful skin greatly increase  your self-image, it is also a very healthy thing to do.  After all, your skin is your largest human organ.  So do yourself a favor and take care of your skin!
