Spring Cleaning

In a post from March 1, 2013, the Derm RF blog talked about the number of dead skin cells we shed (it is estimated that up to 90 percent of house dust is actually dead skin cells).  The epidermis, the outermost layer of our skin, can shed up to a million dead cells every 40 minutes. That adds up to a whopping 1.5 pounds of skin cell dust a year. By the time you reach age 70, more than 100 pounds can be lost—and that’s without a diet. Unlike a snake that completely sheds its skin every year, humans do it on a continuous basis, creating as many as 1,000 brand-new skins in a lifetime

In an average young person, skin cells turn over every 28 to 30 days, which means the epidermis can renew itself every month. It’s why young skin always looks so fresh and rosy. Problematically, this process slows over time, so much so that by the time you’re 40, it could take 50 days or more for the skin to rejuvenate. When dead cells don’t slough off as rapidly, your skin gets thicker, appearing almost stale, and dead cells pack into your pores, making them look larger.

Is your Skin Care Product on the List?

The FDA has warned several major cosmetic companies that have claimed their anti-aging creams can “boost the activity of genes” or “stimulate cell regeneration” to reduce the signs of aging.  These companies can no longer make these claims unless the product actually contains real drugs or medicines AND they go through a rigorous testing and approval process by the FDA.   The FDA definition of a product being sold as a drug as being intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, treatment, or prevention of disease. The intended use of a cosmetic is for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering one’s appearance.  A product may be both, but can only be classified as a drug if it has gone through rigorous testing that proves its effectiveness.  Companies are not allowed to sell drugs in the U.S. without demonstrating to the FDA that their products are safe and effective. All Rodan + Fields products have been CLINICALLY PROVEN to work in independent clinical trials by outside labs.   Most cosmetic companies do not bother to test their products this way because it’s costly and time consuming and not very practical to continually resubmit new evidence every time a formula is tweaked.  The medicines and drugs that Rodan and Fields uses in all their products have all met the FDA approval.  Why trust your skin to a company that is not willing to meet this standard?  Even better,  all products are backed with a 60 day, money back guarantee!   Message me today for the best skin of your life!

Harvard Business School / Rodan+Fields, Best Opportunity in Network Marketing

A high percentage of work from home opportunities are in network marketing. Most home based businesses fail for a variety of reasons, none more critical than getting in at the wrong time in the company’s life cycle. I’ve done a lot of research into network marketing and wanted to share my findings with you. Here are some important things to know before you venture into this type of home business.

Network Marketing or Multi Level Marketing (MLM) is being taught at more than 200 colleges including Harvard Business School. After extensive research into the network marketing industry, Harvard Business School developed 3 criteria that a network marketing company must have in order to make it a desirable opportunity. They are:

1. The company must be at least 18 months old. 90% of all network marketing companies that fail do so in the first 18 months of operations. Lack of adequate financing and inexperienced senior management are two of the more common pitfalls of start up companies so be sure to find out what you can about the MLM’s funding and management.

2. The company must have a product that is both unique and highly consumable. Meaning it must be an exclusive product that can be purchased only from your distributors with repeated sales thereby guaranteeing customer loyalty versus a one-time sale and having to locate new customers.

3. It needs to be a “ground floor” opportunity. Harvard Business School suggests that in order for the opportunity to qualify as a ground floor type, the number of existing distributorships should be less than ½ of 1% in the country where this network company exists. In the U.S., this figure is equal to 1.5 million people. Harvard Business School also stated that if there were less than 500,000 people involved, you would be on the cutting edge of a great opportunity. If the company has less than 100,000 distributors, Harvard Business School considers it to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. (2013 R+D is at approximately 20,000 commissionable distributors)

The Harvard Business School study also stated that there are 4 distinct stages of growth in a network marketing company – Foundation, Concentration, Momentum, and Stability. The Momentum Phase is when the company experiences phenomenal growth. Both retail and distributorships explode in terms of expanding growth. It is during this period that the company virtually sweeps the nation. When a company’s sales reach about 50 million annually (4.2 million a month), they reach what is called “critical mass” (sales go vertical right off the graph). Also, approximately 2/3 of the company’s growth of new distributorships occur during this period of time.Let’s assume you have an organization which is producing an override bonus check to you of $1,000 per month. When the company reached critical mass, distributors almost automatically experience a ten-fold increase in their earnings. In other words, $1,000 per month becomes $10,000 per month. This is the reason for getting involved on the ground floor, so you will experience the benefits of explosive growth.

Don’t Neglect Your Hands

Even the most diligent skin-care junkie can be guilty of forgetting about her hands. But why spend all that time saving face when your hands tell the world your real age? Once every two weeks, buff the backs of your hands with the same microdermabrasion product you would use on your face (try Rodan and Fields Micro-Dermabrasion Paste) see review in Allure. Additionally, slather on a hand cream with SPF every morning  (try Rodan + Fields Redefine Hand Treatment Regimen)

Rodan + Fields Launch New Macro Exfoliator

From the doctors who created Proactiv, Rodan + Fields Dermatologists, comes the latest tool in the fight against wrinkles and aging, the Redefine Macro Exfoliator.

In just five minutes once a week, the Redefine Macro Exfoliator will allow users to sweep away five million dead skin cells for a more radiant appearance. This hand-held tool incorporates clinically proven exfoliation technology with our custom DOC-SMART programming to sweep away dead skin cells on the surface of the skin – one of the biggest problems of aging skin.  The new DOC-SMART technology was created by Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields to vary the degree and duration of macro-exfoliation based on facial area.
linically Proven Results

According to a four-week clinical study, 95% of participants experienced improvement in skin texture in just one week and 100% after four weeks. Unlike an office micro dermabrasion procedure where the skin needs 4 – 6 weeks to repair, the Redefine Macro Exfoliator can be used once a week to achieve the same results with no down time.

Rodan + Fields products are only available through independent consultants. To buy the Redefine Macro Exfoliator or other Rodan + Fields skincare products, click https://areed2.myrandf.com
