Celebrity Skin Care Secret #5 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 #5 They pay attention to their ears

A way to know if someone has had a face lift or intensive laser resurfacing is to look at their ears. The skin on the ears might be wrinkled with brown spots, while the skin on the face is tight, smooth and more even-toned. Celebrities want to keep their cosmetic procedures a secret, so after skin procedures they have exfoliating treatments and peels to the ears to reduce the appearance of sun damage.

Give your ears an “earcial”!

A great “earcial” treatment consists of exfoliating the ears with Renée Rouleau Micro Crystal Cream (concentrating on the lobes and the outer ears) and rinse well. Next, apply a few drops of Glycolic Serum 10% and leave on overnight. Repeat twice a week. Be sure to wear sunscreen (we love our Daily Protection SPF 30) every day on the ears. The result is visibly smoother and softer, less sun-damaged ears. Try a professional Ear Peel ($50) at the Renee Rouleau Skin Care Spas…
