Hydrate your skin and watch dark spots fade with Rodan +Fields

What’s the number one reason keeping you from going makeup free? I ask this question all the time to my dermatology patients. Even as a dermatology nurse and in all honesty, I have some problem areas that keep me reaching for my own makeup bag again and again. I also want that “I don’t even need makeup” complexion but my discoloration from sun damage and old acne scars is holding me back! Fine lines and wrinkles have also appeared over the years too, starting around the age of 28. They are amplified by my dry skin, which is always in need of hydration. To address these problem areas I described above, I started using Active Hydration Serum and REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum from Rodan + FIelds. So, if you are on the same quest for flawless skin follow my journey over the last several weeks using these two serums from Rodan + Fields.

Here is my before picture of my skin prior to starting these two Rodan + Fields powerhouse products.



I have always had dry sensitive skin and it has always been more dry on my lateral cheeks. It can be caused by several factors including a dry climate, genetics, or inadequate hydration. You can also see in the picture above dark spots of sun damage on both cheeks, more on my left driving side than my right. On my chin, I have visible discoloration from old hormonal acne scars. These tend to leave dark purple lesions that take quite some time to fade on their own.

To quench my thirsty skin, I knew I needed a product that could provide deep hydration. So I started using Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Serum. It instantly boosts hydration levels in your skin by 200% while locking in moisture for all day hydration. The Active Hydration Serum uses the patented 3D3P Molecular Matrix that delivers a high level of Glycerin to prevent moisture loss and cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid that deeply hydrates the skin.  It is a sheer lightweight formula that feels like a silky serum.  After using it for several weeks my skin feels more moisturized and looks more plump and balanced. I use it twice a day for my dry skin, applying it to my face after I cleanse. Here is a pro-tip, always keep your face damp after washing it, and then apply the Rodan + Fields Active Hydrating Serum to ensure max penetration.

Since I started using, Rodan + Fields REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum I have seen visible improvement! This serum is designed to target visible signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles and overall skin luminosity. 

The serum is delivered in biodegradable single-use capsules to ensure formula stability, and made with proprietary Retinal-MD Technology, a form of Vitamin A that is more potent than Retinol yet gentle enough for daily use. The Retinal-MD Technology empowers your skin’s natural renewing process , thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. I use the Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum nightly. After washing my face and leaving it damp, I twist off the tail of the capsule, smooth the serum on my face, neck and chest (remember to avoid sensitive areas like around the eyes or corners of mouth) and then I follow it with a moisturizer.

With any skincare routine you won’t see long lasting results unless you use them consistently. That is my number one tip to all of my patients and followers, consistency is key! You have to use Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Serum and REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum on a daily basis over several weeks to see visible results. I saw that my visible discoloration and dark spots faded, along with my fine lines and wrinkles.  My skin tone is more visibly even and in addition to that I feel like my skin has a more plumped and brighter glow. I even started going without my normal daily foundation and opting only for mascara and lip gloss. Rodan + Fields has a 60-day money back guarantee even with emptied or used bottles! So instead of continuing to reach for the makeup bag, try Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Serum and Redefine Intensive Renewing Serum to bring your skin back to life!

The year to focus on yourself, and your health while enriching your inner beauty. As a dermatology nurse, I am always looking for the best skin treatments to help my patients put their best faces forward. What I have come to realize is health, beauty and the best version of ourselves starts from within. The foods we eat contain loads of beauty nutrients and can highly affect the way we feel and look. Here is a pro tip: embracing your natural beauty and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be easily achieved with just 28 almonds a day. 28 Almonds have 5g plant protein per serving and are an excellent source of antioxidant Vitamin E and a good source of magnesium. We don’t skip out on our beauty products, so we shouldn’t skip out on nourishing our bodies to feel “Beauty Full” either!

What you eat is as important as the products that you put on your skin. Your diet could improve your skin health from the inside out, so a clear complexion begins with eating a healthful diet.


So when it comes to meal prepping and choosing healthy snacks, reach for a bag of Blue Diamond 

Whole Natural Almonds, a superfood with natural Vitamin E, biotin, and magnesium content that benefits healthy, hair, skin, nails and sleep. Who knew adding 28 almonds a day to your beauty routine could make such a great impact on your life?! I buy the 12 ounce bag of Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds at Target, which makes it easy to snack and work on my inner glow while I’m on the go!
