ANTI-AGE ‘Face Lift In a Jar’, ‘Fountain of Youth Cream’. Does it seem like you’re constantly bombarded with so-called miracle creams that pop up weekly? Do you have a drawer full of half-used bottles and jars of broken promises? Before you can address what your skin needs, you must first understand how your skin ages. WHAT CAUSES YOUR SKIN TO LOOK OLDER? Biological changes: As you age, the number of epidermal surface skin cells becomes fewer and fewer and less dense. In youth, you have 8 layers of live skin cells, and with age and a decrease in cellular metabolism, the number of layers is reduced to just 2-3. Your skin begins to appear thin and fragile. With less epidermal density, the delicate barrier weakens and less moisture is retained. Small, fine lines begin to appear and your favorite moisturizer is no longer keeping up with your skin’s increasing supplemental moisture needs. At the same time, dead skin cells do not shed as efficiently, resulting in a rougher texture and a dulling appearance. The production of collagen, a major component of your skin’s architecture, decreases at an estimated rate of 1% per year after age 30. Environmental aging: Cumulative effects of the sun’s penetrating rays and free radical assault become progressively more obvious as you age. As a result of repeated collagen breakdown and repair, pore structure weakens, resulting in an enlarged appearance, wrinkles form, and most noticeably, your skin loses firmness. DESPERATELY SEEKING COLLAGEN Collagen is a major component of skin’s structural architecture. At it’s youthful best, skin is producing collagen at a robust rate and appears firm and smooth. As skin ages and collagen production slows, skin begins to lose firmness and lines and wrinkles appear, especially where there is constant wear and tear associated with facial expressions or sleep creases. Collagen is too large of a molecule to penetrate through skin topically, so supplementing collagen in skin can only be achieved in one of two ways; injections or signaling the skin to step up its natural collagen production. Today, we understand that peptides, small chains of amino acids, are naturally used by our skin for cellular communication. Peptides are naturally produced by the skin as old collagen breaks down or in response to injury. Such peptides signal the need for more collagen to be produced. Because peptides are small enough to penetrate the skin, the addition of these collagen-signaling peptides to a skincare regimen can step up collagen production and result in a smoother, firmer appearance. Youthful looking skin has thick long collagen bands Older looking skin has broken, thin collagen bands

HOW DOES RODAN+FIELDS ADDRESS AGING SKIN? As described in
biological and environmental aging above, the multiple causes of
skin aging require a multi-pronged attack to slow and even reverse
the visible effects of time and the environment. No single cream or
ingredient can address all the needs of aging skin on these
multiple levels. Our ANTI-AGE Regimen Plus exfoliates, moisturizes,
boosts collagen, helps protect the skin from on-going environmental
assault, and restores skins resiliency and radiance. The right
ingredients, in the right formulations and in the right order, will
give real results. Before using After 8 weeks of using ANTI-AGE

WHAT ARE THE OTHER RODAN + FIELDS ANTI-AGE PRODUCTS? ANTI-AGE
Night Renewing Serum renews and plumps your skin while also
reducing collagen breakdown. Packaged in 60 individually dosed
capsules, it contains a potent, proprietary blend of peptides and

For? Anyone who wants ensure that they look as youthful tomorrow as
they do today, or noticing fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores or

dark marks. Those with oily prone skin may prefer to use the
ANTI-AGE Night Renewing Serum in place of the Night Recovery Cream.
ANTI-AGE Multi-Function Eye Cream Because in your 20s your eyes are
the first place to show the signs of aging, we recommend applying
the ANTI-AGE Multi-Function Eye Cream every morning and night.
Supported by clinical studies, its proven to minimize crows feet,
dark under eye circles and puffiness. STACKING THE DECK WITH
PEPTIDES From R+F President, Lori Bush Countless numbers of
peptides exist in nature. In the most simple of terms, peptides are
specific sequences of amino acidstheyre a type of protein. In our
skin, some peptides signal certain cellular activities while others
serve to block various types of cellular response. For instance,
there are peptides that support the proliferation of fibroblasts,
the skin cells that produce collagen. There are other peptides that
signal the production of collagen by the fibroblasts. And there are
yet other peptides that interfere with the breakdown of collagen in
the skin. Our Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE products incorporate several
different peptides to deliver a layering of all of these benefits
to support the overall desired outcome: firmer, smoother, more
youthful looking skin. TIPS: 1. Try ANTI-AGE Mutli-Function Eye
Cream for lip lines, as well as crows feet. Wear your sunglasses
for extra protection and to minimize squinting which reduces future
eye creases. 2. ANTI-AGE products can treat neck, chest and hands,
too. Apply generously to these areas for smoother skin. 3. Aging UV
rays (Ultraviolet A) are present from sun-up to sun-down, 365 days
a year, rain or shine. Reapply ANTI-AGE Skin Protective Cream or a
broad-spectrum sun screen every two hours throughout the day. 4.

mother. Is this biological destiny? Yes. It can be, but then again
Sure its a compliment to look like your mother, but not when shes
30 years older! The majority of you visiting our offices are
concerned with facial aging. Often, the tell-tale signs are
obvious, such as crows feet by the eyes, vertical lip lines, frown
and smile lines, and sagging skin. You do your research on fillers
and Botox, and generally have great results. But this usually isnt
enough. Dry skin sends you flocking in for peels, lasers, and
Microdermabrasion treatments. And to think that it starts off
innocently enough; your once faithful moisturizer becomes
undependable and useless. The skin seems insatiable, nothing is
ever enough. Why does this happen? As we age, skin cells become
thinner and less dense. Dead skin cells build up as a result of
slower cell turnover; the skin looks dry, and surface damage
becomes more visible as moisture leaks out. There are other more
subtle changes that are not so obvious. When it comes to dull skin,
its not what you see; its what you dont see. All of a sudden you
notice that your skin has lost its youthful radiance. Or you find
that you need to use more and more foundation and concealors to
even out your skin tone. You watch helplessly as the once cute
freckles grow to become age spots, or you notice that after a few
hours in the sun, brown patches seem to suddenly appear on your
cheek and upper lip. Did you know that brown spots can make you
look older than wrinkles? According to a recent study, when asked
to estimate the age of a female face with uneven color and brown
spots from a photograph, study subjects guessed 20+ years older
than the actual age! So in summary, there are really 3 significant
signs of aged skin: The buildup of dead, dry skin cells and surface
water loss Lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin Subtle dullness and
age spots from excessive dark pigment We realize that because you
are so busy, its hard for you to find time to visit the
dermatologist. So, if you can get similar results at home, why not?

skin issues with Rodan + Fields targeted regimen solution systems.
