I just moved to Colorado and have experienced a drastic change in my usually combination skin—it’s bone dry!
Here are some high altitude tips for you:
· Slather on extra moisturizer in the morning and at night.
· UV radiation increases 10–12% for every 3,000 feet of elevation, so even if you can’t see the sun, apply sunscreen with antioxidants to protect your skin.
· Don’t forget to protect your lips as well. The sun can be relentless at higher altitudes, especially in states like Colorado, where the sun shines more than three hundred days a year.
My Doctor told me that I have seborrheic dermatitis and nothing he has given me has helped. Do you have a heavy moisturizer?
Like acne, seborrheic dermatitis is initiated by androgenic hormones and is a common
inflammatory disease of the skin known as dandruff in its mildest form. It appears as red, inflamed patches covered by oily or dry scales that may feel chapped or itchy. It can be found on the scalp, eyebrows, nose folds, temples and beard area. When localized on the face, we refer to it as “facial dandruff.” It can be caused by excessive oil production brought on by hormones or stress, a change in environment, and an inflammatory reaction to yeast. This is often worse in the winter because of the lack of humidity. Like many skin conditions, there is a genetic component, so if your parents suffer with it, you are more prone to experience it as well.
You will need more than a heavy moisturizer. Each product in the SOOTHE Regimen has been carefully formulated with ingredients and medicines specifically designed to address the causes and manifestations of sensitive skin, i.e., disruption of the skin's outer barrier, moisture loss, redness, dryness, burning and stinging. Within days to weeks depending on the severity of your condition, your skin will feel comfortable, smooth and soft with a visible reduction of facial redness.

When you moisturize and moisturize and your skin is still dry … you need to exfoliate. The layer of flaky, dead skin cells is preventing your moisturizer from penetrating. Use gentle exfoliation on the thick dry areas and follow immediately with a rich moisturizer. The same rules apply for the lips!

Do I need to wear sunscreen in the winter? I barely go out and it is always cloudy.
Remember every day is “Sun”day. Just because it is not summer, don’t let your guard down in terms of the sun. Protect skin with a broad-spectrum sunblock containing zinc oxide, avobenzone or mexoryl every day of the year, even when you can’t see the sun. And be particularly diligent if you’re on the slopes. UV radiation increases 10%-12% for every 3000 feet of elevation. Rodan + Fields offers five broad-spectrum sunscreens : REVERSE UVA/UVB SPF 15 Sunscreen, SOOTHE UVA/UVB SPF 15 Sunscreen, ANTI-AGE Triple Defense Treatment SPF 30 featuring SHIELDrf, UNBLEMISH Oil Control Lotion SPF 20, and ESSENTIALSUVA/UVB SPF 30 Sunscreen. Apply 15 minutes before heading outdoors and re-apply every 2-3 hours when exposed to day light.

My lips get really dry and flaky during cold weather—it is so embarrassing. Will the Lip Micro-Dermabrasion help this problem?
Most people carry a lip balm and re-apply it like crazy. Most formulations do not always repair dryness but coat it with occlusive ingredients. The balm wears off and you need to re-apply it pronto. It can be really addicting. Our Lip Micro-Dermabrasion is an exfoliating and conditioning treatment specially formulated for delicate lip tissue. Use this gentle exfoliator at least twice a day to remove dead skin cells and soften the skin. And try to avoid licking your lips and breathing through your mouth while you sleep; both can severely dry lips.
