After having all your FABQs answered!!





















FABQ #1: How can I get rid, or reduce the appearance, of dark under-eye circles?

Quick Fix: Consume lots and lots of water! Also try placing cool cucumber slices over eyes to reduce puffiness, and tea bags to mask discoloration.

After 2 months use of Rodan + Fields Eye Cream.
Quick Tip: For unwanted under-eye puffiness, apply hemorrhoid cream, and leave for 20 minutes before wiping clean. 

Long-term Solution: 
  • Increase Vitamin K and anti-oxidant intake.
  •  Sleep 7-9 hours each night. 
  • Avoid salty foods, and maintain a well-balanced diet.
  • Use beauty products that contain peptides. 

One of my favorite products is Rodan + Fields Multi-Purpose Eye Cream, which not only combats signs of aging with peptides, but also contains optical diffusers to brighten eye area.





Soothe changes skin.
FABQ #2: How can I reduce redness, or the appearance of irritation, on my face?

Quick Fix: Eye Drops!! A slick trick celebrity makeup artists use when their clients are experiencing a red, uneven complexion is to dab on some eye drops! Make sure the eye drops contain the ingredient, tetrahydrozoline, which tightens up blood vessels to calm irritated skin.

Long-Term Solution: 
If someone is experiencing a frequent red, blotchy skin tone they may have a condition called Rosacea.

While it is possible to purchase heavy-duty concealers to hide to inconsistencies, it is also possible to reduce the redness completely with Rodan + Fields skin care line, Soothe.






FABQ #3: How can I minimize the size of my pores??

Disclaimer: You cannot minimize the size of your pores, however you can minimize their appearance. Below are tips, tricks, and products that will assist you. 

Quick Fix: Try this do-it-yourself mask to reduce pore visibility! Mix 2 raw egg whites with 1/4 cup of orange juice and apply to skin for 15 minutes. After rinsing with warm water, you will notice tighter skin, which minimizes the appearance of pores.

Long-Term Solution: Prevention and Maintenance are key to reducing the appearance of pores. It is extremely important to always remove make-up before climbing into bed, no matter how exhausted you are.

To keep pores' size small, use Rodan +Fields Pore Minimizing Toner as part of your daily routine.
