Rodan+ Fields Skincare Solutions with Bess

Be honest. What’s the FIRST thing you do when someone sends you a group selfie?

Do you think, “What a fun night!”—or immediately find yourself, zoom in and start analyzing? The angle. Your hair. Your skin. Your body. 😬

Be honest…how many takes does it then take before everyone approves one? How many get vetoed? Has anyone EVER posted the first one? Or every just taken one...

I KNOW I can’t be the only one. I know you all do this too.

Why are we SO much harder on ourselves than we are on everyone else in the photo?

What’s your "why" ?

Not how it looked 10 years ago. Not compared to somebody else’s skin. 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Are you happy with the way it looks without makeup? With it? Is it feeling hydrated? Comfortable? Smooth? Is there something you keep noticing in the mirror that’s bugging you? (I KNOW we all have something.)

I think we get so used to looking for flaws and comparing ourselves to others — and social media certainly doesn’t help. 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗲, 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 “𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁” — 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘇𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸?

I’m not trying to look 35 again. I’m not chasing perfection. I don’t expect skincare to erase every line, spot or sign that I’ve lived a life. And honestly, I don’t want it to.

I take care of my skin because I want it to look and feel its best now. Hydrated. Healthy-looking. Brighter. Smoother. I like looking in the mirror and thinking, hey, not bad. I like spending those extra few minutes morning and night simply doing something for me.

That’s why I’m a 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 in good skincare, and I'm not just buying anything anymore. Not because I’m trying to turn back the clock, get glam—but because spending time on me feels good.

And hey, if a few lines look softer and a couple of spots fade along the way? I’m certainly not complaining. :-)

Many of you have asked me: Where do I even start?

I get it. I thought I knew all there was to know about skincare, make up and self care. And then I turned 50.

Learning to care for skin that’s changing can feel confusing, overwhelming—and expensive. A bathroom full of half-used products or trolling the beauty bins at Winners hoping this one will work isn’t much of a plan. Neither is assuming the only other option is an invasive treatment.

The key isn’t doing more. It’s knowing your skin, deciding what fits your lifestyle, budget and available time, then choosing quality products for what you actually want to address.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to stay natural. Feeling good naturally is even better.

This guide is a simple place to start. And if you’re unsure what makes sense for you, message me. I’ll help you sort through the options without spending a fortune experimenting.

What feels most overwhelming—the choices, the cost or finding the time?

Your skin type can shift over time as hormones, climate and oil production change—so the ‘combination skin’ label you gave yourself in your 20s may not tell you much about what your skin actually needs today.

If your skin feels tight but still gets shiny, for example, it may be dehydrated—not dry. Dehydrated skin lacks water, while dry skin lacks oil, and treating them the same way can leave you feeling greasy without fixing the tightness.

That’s where I often recommend R+F Active Hydration Serum. Its hyaluronic acid acts like a moisture magnet, helping draw water to the skin, while the formula locks that hydration in. The payoff? Skin that feels less tight and looks smoother, plumper and more refreshed—without the heaviness of a rich cream. It’s one reason my 64-year-old skin can still pull off “dewy.” 😆

Back-to-school season always feels like a fresh start—even when no one in your house is actually going back to school anymore.

Maybe it’s memories of new notebooks and lots of sweet art work to decorate the fridge, or fast forwarding to the anxiety of packing the car to go set up the dorm room and trying not to cry as you drive away. The excitement was real—but so was the ugh, here comes the schedules and "new routine" stress. Even boots versus sandals feels like too much.

And somehow September still gives me that same little nudge: Okay, fun’s over. Time to get your act together. 😆

For me, transitions can be hard, but getting back on track doesn’t mean overhauling everything at once.

My approach?

Keep what’s working.
Let go of what isn’t.
Add only what you actually need (one more list isn't it)

I tie a routine to something I already do. For example, I do my evening skincare before I settle onto the couch—because once I’m comfortable and it's dark outside, all bets are off. lol.

Does September still feel like a fresh start to you too or like an unsettling transition to struggle through?
