Sometimes, you don't need products to maintain proper facial health.
Tip: Skip straws. "The constant lip puckering leads to wrinkling around the mouth," says (Dr. Katie)Rodan. The same applies to what happens if you smoke.

New Book by Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields Garnering High Praise Prior to Release
Write Your Skin a Prescription for Change, the soon to be released skincare guide by Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields is being released on November 1. Already it has earned rave reviews from peers and editors from highly regarded magazines such as Allure, Bazaar, Real Simple, Body and Soul, and Prevention.
“I was expecting a reference text and was delighted by Katie Rodan’s and Kathy Fields’ entertaining, reader friendly approach that makes this book a practical and easy to read guide consumers will turn to again and again. As a skincare industry veteran, I applaud Dr. Rodan’s and Dr. Fields’ knack for empowering consumers with essential knowledge to make smart choices and clearing up confusion. The commonsense, logical approach this book offers will help consumers make a lifelong commitment to healthy, beautiful skin.”
YOHINI APPA, Ph.D. Senior Director Scientific Affairs, Johnson & Johnson Beauty
“This book, from two of the most respected dermatologists in America, tells you everything you’ve always wanted to know and everything you should know about your skin, from head to toe. It’s an engaging, fast-paced read that deftly blends science and beauty with more than a dash of attitude. You’ll learn to think like a dermatologist and your skin will thank you forever.”
ALIZA LIFSHITZ, M.D. Internist, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; Editor-in-Chief, VidaySalud.com; Medical Commentator, Univision Networks.
Tip: Sleeping on your back can prevent wrinkles better than Botox. "Sleep on your back, not with your face planted on a pillow. Over time, eight hours of 'sleep crush' will permanently etch lines in your face," says (Dr. Katie) Rodan. "I trained myself to sleep on my back with the contoured Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow."

Vitamin D3 - It is very important!!
Understanding Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol
Many Americans, particularly African Americans, may be suffering from unrecognized deficiencies of a key nutrient -- vitamin D -- that increase the risk of bone problems and perhaps a host of other diseases, a growing number of scientists say.
Technically not a "vitamin," vitamin D is in a class by itself. Its metabolic product, calcitriol, is actually a secosteroid hormone that targets over 2000 genes (about 10% of the human genome) in the human body. Current research has implicated vitamin D deficiency as a major factor in the pathology of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, rickets, and more.
Some researchers suggest that one spend more time in sunlight for natural vitamin D3 production by the skin, while others prefer to reduce one's exposure to the ill-effects of the sun's UV-light by suggesting the taking of vitamins.
Bottom line - consult your physician. A simple blood test can indicate a deficiency.
