The importance of peptides in your skin care routine

Imagine a glass vase with a layer of plump, juicy grapes at the bottom, raisins in the middle and oatmeal at the top.  This is a pictorial of what happens during the lifecycle of our skin’s cells.  They start out plump like grapes, then change to a withered state like a raisin and then end up dry and flaky like oatmeal.  Collagen works to keep your skin plump like the grapes.  Skin is made up mostly of collagen.  It is the foundation that gives your skin its support and thickness. Young people have a large amount of collagen and taut, smooth skin. In contrast, older people have much less collagen and thin, wrinkled skin.

Collagen is a protein and is made up long chains of amino acids strung together, like chains of linked building blocks. When it is broken down, short segments of 3-5 amino acids form, called peptides. Peptides are active molecules and referred to as “mini proteins”.  So, a peptide is a portion, or a building block, of a protein.

All peptides influence or direct the cells of the body in some way. Different types of peptides influence different types of cells.  What is a Peptide used for in skin care? The peptides used in skin care are ones that communicate with and direct the skin cells to behave in a certain way, such as producing more collagen or to thicken the skin.  Because peptides are small, they can penetrate the skin’s protective barriers to get to the deeper layers.

Moral of the story – in order to find effective anti-aging skin care, make sure there are peptides in your products that focus on boosting collagen production.  Wouldn’t you rather have the plump grape look than the withered raisin look? 

Rodan + Fields puts more peptides in their products than any other competitor.  The Doctors recently presented on their groundbreaking work with peptides.  They have created Peptide 3 technology  which was honored by fellow dermatologists with an award equivalent to the SAG awards in the film industry.  To be honored by your peers is significant.  The three peptides include the following functions:  antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and collagen protecting.

Direct Selling News

Direct Selling News is a publication that serves executives in the direct selling industry.  It offers advice on growing their businesses and up to date news on the industry.  Rodan + Fields was recently featured in this publication as an example of a successful product leaving retail for direct sales.  Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields introduced their anti-aging regimens to high-end stores in 2002.  Estee Lauder saw the potential of the "dermatology at home" brand and purchased the company.  The regimens quickly became top sellers.   In 2007, the Doctors could see that online sales were surpassing retail store sales in general and a new focus for their marketing strategy was due.  They purchased the company back from Estee Lauder and chose the direct selling business model as their new distribution strategy.

The Doctors decided to re-direct the 40% profit that was going to the retailers to individual business owners.  In other words, they decided to offer entrepreneurs the opportunity of a lifetime - to partner with the doctors who created proactiv in their new venture to reverse the signs of aging.

Direct selling focuses more on communication, leadership and team-building skills than sales skills.  Global Direct sales currently totals $117 Billion  and is expanding rapidly.  It is difficult to come up with another business model that has lower start up costs or offers the opportunity to begin part-time.

Much research has been conducted on the ideal time to join a network marketing company and the results are in:  when there are under 30,000 people.  I can tell you that as of the date of this post, there are currently 7,000 Rodan + Fields consultants nationwide.  Its an amazing time to get started.

AMP MD-Roll away the wrinkles!!

Roll away those wrinkles, lines, pores and scars. Micro Needle Skin Rollers like Rodan+Fields AMP MD Maximum Delivery System, allow delivery of products deep down below the skins surface. The roller makes tiny punctures to the top layer of your skin and this triggers your own body to regenerate collagen which will in turn plump and even out your skin surface, while eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. Without utilizing a micro needle roller, skin care products sit on top of your skin and minimally penetrates the surface. Micro needle skin rollers have been used extensively by doctors during office visits, but now there are at home solutions that allow you to experience similar results at a fraction of the cost.
