Get to Know the Personal Side of Renée Rouleau

When I’m not running my skin care company…you can find me on my 2009 Harley Davidson Sportster. I’ve been a biker babe for nine years and nothing relaxes me more than a little wind in my hair. People are surprised when they hear that a skin care expert rides a Harley.  I love wearing leather, but I make sure my skin doesn’t look like leather by wearing a lot of sunscreen. 

Dreaming of…France. My husband is French, so we go to visit his family. I love getting facials when I’m there and of course, the shopping. Life definitely slows down when I’m in France…

If I weren’t an esthetician…I’d probably be an executive assistant to a CEO. I love working at a desk, I’m extremely organized and love being around smart people.

My favorite childhood memory…our summer cabin in Wisconsin built by my grandfather complete with outhouse and sauna. We had no running water.

Best skin care Tip…Aside from wearing sunscreen on the face and neck 365 days a year, rain or shine, inside or out, I’m always preaching to never use a bar of soap or any foaming cleanser that makes your skin feel tight and dry after washing. You don’t want to strip the water out of the skin and then run and put moisturizer on to put back in what you just took out. Makes no sense.  

My home…is where my heart is. We live in the country on 40 acres outside of Dallas, Texas and our three Dobermans get to run and play all day. It’s so peaceful. I do have an apartment in downtown Dallas, so I get the best of both worlds.

Most memorable celebrity experience…I was giving a celebrity a facial and at the end when she was leaving she asked me, “Where can I get a pack of cigarettes?” This is not a question an esthetician gets often!

Favorite Fashion Trend…textured tights. I love bringing a bit of an edge to my outfits and funky tights let me do just that. 

Obsession…Twitter – @ReneeRouleau! I do a new skin care tip every day so I love to share my knowledge and I’ve even found a great personal assistant on Twitter. 

 The best thing about turning 40…is that I now truly understand the concept of aging.  When I first became an esthetician, I was only 18 years old. I’d talk to my older clients about anti-aging and I know they were thinking to themselves, “What does she know about aging? ” So now at 40, I truly understand how my clients feel.

Guilty pleasure…Staying at beautiful hotels when I travel. I love being treated like a queen.

My favorite Renée Rouleau skin care product…Triple Berry Smoothing Peel. It’s like getting a Renée Rouleau facial at home. It’s truly miraculous.

My skin type number… I’m a skin type #2. What’s your skin type?
