Celebrity Skin Care Secret #4 from Renée Rouleau

In my 20+ years of being an esthetician, I have had the honor of working with celebrities (Melissa Rycroft, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson and Ali Landry, to name a few) who have trusted me to get their skin looking and feeling its best.

Secret #4 They stay out of the sun

The long-term career of female actors depends largely on how young and how good they look. They wish it wasn’t that way, but it is. The #1 reason why anyone will get a wrinkle is from sun damage so wearing an SPF moisturizer applied generously on the face and neck, 365 days a year, rain or shine, inside or out.

Marcia Cross, Madonna and Nicole Kidman are known for staying out of the sun. They wear hats, sunglasses and long sleeve shirts to keep their skin looking flawless. Madonna was recently photographed on vacation carrying around an umbrella to hide her skin from the sun. She knows the secret to keeping her flawless, porcelain skin is to avoid the sun…

The UVB rays (the ones that cause your skin to burn or tan) aren’t as strong in the winter months, therefore your skin is at less risk for a sunburn.

The UVA rays (the ones that cause skin aging and skin cancer) are approximately the same strength year round and can penetrate through clouds.

Daily use of sun protection is an absolute must—365 days a year, rain or shine, inside or out (UV rays come through windows in your office, home or car). Make sure you have your sunscreen built right in to your moisturizer so you only need to apply one product.
