It’s Going to Be OK

Monday January 16th, 2017

After one week had passed, I reflected on what I had done so far for my new skin care endeavor. Initially I was quite excited, but I now realized that I hadn’t been skillful in the “business” yet.  While I had been training myself on the websites and team training, a little dark cloud began hovering over my head.  Was I really going to be ok?

And I faced my first major trouble. After one week with the Reverse regimen, my forehead and upper cheeks became flaky and itchy.  I freaked out!  I called my business sponsor, posted on the team group page, and inquired RF connection directly via email.  Their auto reply bounced right back to me to notify within 48 hours.  48 hours???  I felt very pathetic.  But I knew I needed to stay away from my regimen for at least a couple of days.  

The Rodan + Fields suggests an gentle introduction of the regimen on your skin that is new to the formula.  For instance, the instruction says to apply the regimen every other day on the week 1.  So your skin will get used to the formula.  My faith in Rodan + Fields’ products and support were strong enough to waited for the RF connection’s response, yet of course, I was still nervous.

Way less than 48 hours, I got the email back, suggesting to use the moisturizer along with the Reverse regimen every other day.  Guess what happened?  Flaky skin came back to normal.  Itchiness disappeared.  My skin WAS adjusting to the new skin products.  And!  I felt softer than before when I touched my skin when I washed in the morning.  It is WORKING!  

 In the meantime, I noticed that it has been 2 weeks since I started using the Rodan + Fields Multi Function Eye Cream.  Just looking at the mirror every day didn’t confirm the improvement.  So I decided take a picture.  Viola!  Only two weeks, but the improvement was visible!  

I see the dark cloud is happily floating away from my head.  I am happy to share my Before and After picture and keep sharing further results.  I build more confidence in the Rodan + Fields Skincare products through my own hands-on experiences.  I tell myself, “It’s going to be OK.”

Business Launch

January 7th, 2017

On Thursday January 5th, my business box arrived.  I picked up each item carefully out of the box.  The Reverse Regimen is for my formula, according to “Solution Tool” on clairehallinan.myrandf.com.  

The Reverse Regimen is effective to regain the appearance of skin dullness and discoloration.  I like that each container was labeled as 1, 2, 3, and 4 so I won’t get confused in the early morning or the late exhausting night.  Number 1 is Deep Exfoliating Wash.  It is nothing like any face cleansing/washing products I have used in the past.  It doesn’t bubble.  Instead, I notice a kind of sandy feeling on my face.  After drying my face, I pat Intensive Brightening Toner onto my face with the facial gauze.  A stinging sensation concerns me, but it doesn’t last.  While I apply number 3, a mixture of Dual Active Brightening Complex, my hand notices how smooth my skin is.  Finally, the Intensive Brightening Toner makes my skin shine.  I look forward to the skin improvement as the days go on.  

In the meantime, I have been watching quite a few other consultants’ videos, before/after photos, and read training materials.  To combine my first few days’ experience of the new products and learning about the products value with hundreds of testimonial comments from fellow consultants, I was convinced to launch my premium skincare business, Rodan + Fields.

I would like you to join Claire’s Virtual Business Launch on Thursday January 19th at 7:30 pm Pacific time on Facebook!  Your support, just being there (on your comfy couch!), means a lot to me and my new business with Rodan + Fields.  See you on the Thursday evening!

Rising Curiosity

This is My Story

Wow!  Is this me?  I don’t think it’s so bad.  But I would be happy if I could see an even prettier version of me.  That’s why I decided to take some risks to look into my skin.  

As you can see, my skin has been beat up over several decades.  My mother always told me in my teenage years, “When you were a baby, your whole body, except your face, was covered by dry eczema skin.  Your face was soft and pretty.”   Technically, she was very disappointed by my oily acne face at that time.  I could not help or stop the acne from appearing on my face although I washed it over and over again.  Fortunately, I grew out of it in my mid-20s.  

In the meantime, my father didn’t like makeup on my mother’s and grandmother's faces.  His mean voice was annoying: “Why do you have to put makeup on when you are at home?” Making their faces beautiful was silently prohibited in my household.  Because of this, I was afraid to be interested in paying attention to my own skin.  I have been exposed to the strong sun during summer times, let my skin dry in the winter times, I never put cold pads on my eyes after big cries, and I had no idea how to put on any fancy makeups on before the Senior Graduation Party in College.  

Around the same time I graduated from college, my mother started sending me a basic facial cream.  To this day, she still sends it to me. It actually is a great product.  But I really didn’t care about what I had been using until I saw my face carefully on the mirror.  Part of me said, “I am pretty enough.  It’s ok,”  while another part of me whispered, “My skin looks tired.  If there is something I can do to radiate my skin, I should try it.  Today will never come back.”  Well, the second voice won.

I have become curious about Rodan + Fields since I noticed some posts on my friend Tara’s Facebook page.  If Tara says it’s good, it is.  So, here we go. I am excited (and a bit nervous!) to start my skin journey with Rodan+Fields premier skin company as my kit arrives….
