Some things make me giddy. Sunscreen is one of them.

While you may not have guessed, I am a huge proponent of healthy skin. Sometimes to the point of annoyance (sorry, family). That means staying out of the way of those harmful UVA and UVB rays. Well, at least protecting yourself from them.

Thank goodness there are so many superb sunscreens on the market these days. It used to be quite difficult to find one that contained the right ingredients. And now there is a convenient, on-the-go, no mess version that rocks, due to the brilliance of Susan Posnick!

My whole family has been enjoying the latest in fabulousness from my friend, Susan. A skin cancer survivor, Susan is beyond passionate about proper skin protection. She created Brush on Block, which contains 12% zinc oxide and 15% titanium dioxide (physical blockers), to make it easy for everyone to apply sunscreen everyday. Everyday!

Perfect for your athletic bag (or your child’s), golf bag and purse! Yes, I have three. With outdoor activities playing a big role in our lives, Brush on Block has brought me peace of mind, knowing I'm giving my family the best in sun care.

During a hectic day of meetings and errand running, I ran into several friends along the way. Ironically, the topic that popped into every conversation was skin.

As winter begins to let up a bit, daydreaming about spring becomes more of a reality. Which means focusing on skin. Actually, every day of the year should be focused on skin.

That's why I had to get my hands on Rodan + Fields' latest anti-aging tool. The new MACRO exfoliator is an advanced techno wonder that rids of dead skin cells, leaving behind smoother, healthier-looking skin. I used mine for the first time tonight, and I have to tell you I was ever so eager to give it a whirl. While it took me a few minutes to figure out that you sweep the vacuum across your face, versus a picking up/putting down motion, I immediately noticed firmer and softer skin upon completion. You can actually see the dead skin and debris left behind in the filter. Used once a week, I hope to see continued results over the next few months.

Time to get your good skin on!

I'm no stranger to a great skin care routine. Healthy skin is important to me. So when I come across a line that provides clinical results by way of awesome ingredients, I must share.

You've heard of Proactiv, yes? The brains behind that line are practicing dermatologists Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields. This terrific twosome put their mad skills to work by developing four phenomenal skin care lines outside of Proactiv — Anti-Age, Soothe, Unblemish and Reverse. They use the right medicines and active cosmetics, in the right formulations and in the right order. With that combination, results are inevitable.

Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields take safety and efficacy very seriously, and they know it takes the right concentration of an over-the-counter drug or active cosmetic to achieve the desired result without adverse effects. Their patients and customers speak volumes, as the results are solid and true. And documented.

One of the most impressive and respected traits of the Rodan + Fields® line is the fact that each product comes with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. 60 days! That's how confident these dermatologists are about what they've created.

Recently, I had the to opportunity to connect with an amazing woman, Missy VanPutten, who loved the R+F skin care regimens so much, right from the get go, that she became an independent consultant! She's honest about what you need and enthusiastic about the results you'll see. The best part, she loves being a part of your skin care success.

If you're not sure what your skin needs, start by taking the Rodan + Fields’ exclusive PerSKINality test. It's fun and enlightening!

 

 

Time to check back in with NeriumAd.

This is the product that changed the age of my hands. In just 45 days, my hands looked at least 10 years younger. Three and a half months in, and I'm flaunting these babies. I absolutely love the skin on my hands now. I often catch myself staring at my hands.

As I mentioned in my last NeriumAD post, I decided to test the product on a few more body parts. For the last 45 days, I've applied the product to my stomach and chest/décolletage once a day. While not much has changed with regard to the skin around my belly button, my chest/décolletage are reaping huge benefits. The sun spots on my décolletage have lightened to an almost unnoticeable amount. It's crazy, I tell you! In addition, I applied NeriumAD to the middle of my chest (the space between my breasts, including part of my breasts). Here's where I had to pick my jaw off of the floor. I kid you not, the skin in this area has lifted! Seriously. The skin looks younger, firmer and I feel a bit more confident with these once-nursed-upon-boobs. NeriumAD is remarkable. Age reversal like I've never experienced. 

You want to get your hands on this stuff, don't you? For $80 a bottle, consider it your little anti-aging secret. How long one bottle lasts depends on how you use it. For me, I get about 2 months out of it. I'm on autoship to get the best price and I schedule the shipments every 60 days. You can always move your shipment date up if you feel you need it sooner.

Stay tuned for more amazing results!
