Skin Firming Tips for Those in Need of a Lift

Learn why the skin loses its elasticity and what you can do to keep your skin firm and plump.

COLLAGEN

Collagen fibers are microscopic fibers that make up 70% of the layer of the skin known as the dermis. Collagen fibers bunch together to form strong, ordered bundles that resist stretching, thus giving skin firmness. Young skin has beautifully organized bundles, giving it structure and support.

ELASTIN

Like collagen, elastin is a fibrous protein that is a main constituent of the dermis. These fibers are less ordered and highly flexible so they extend easily and give skin elasticity. Elastin provides moisture to keep the skin supple, gives skin its resiliency and smooth feel, and provides our skin its “spring and snap”.

COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN BREAK DOWN … Read more


What Age Should I Start Using Anti-Aging Products?

Anti-aging products (particularly those with antioxidants) can start to be used as early as age 21.

But here is the important part: Choose anti-aging products appropriate for your skin type. Many cosmetic companies (not Renée Rouleau, of course) assume those who want anti-aging care must have dry skin. But our skin care spas are visited every day by young women and men who still have oil and breakouts, but want to preserve their youthful appearance for as long as they can.

Here’s a list of anti-aging ingredients that are appropriate for those in their 20’s.

Hyaluronic Acid (You’ll love it in our Skin Drink)

Stabilized Vitamin C (You’ll love it in our Vitamin C&E Complex)

Elderberry Fruit Extract (You’ll love it in our Elderberry Toner)

Zinc Oxide (You’ll love it in our Daily Protection SPF 30) … Read more


Got Fine Lines and Wrinkles? We Have Help!

Why do wrinkles occur?

The reason for lines and wrinkles as we age?  The weakening of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, as well as facial movements that create the actual folds and creases in the skin. Laughing and smiling are inevitable, but squinting is preventable with good sunglasses.

What can I do to make them less noticeable?

If you were to take a piece of wood and hit it with a hammer, you would make an indentation in the wood. To smooth out that dent, a little sandpaper would make the dent less noticeable. The same rules apply with the skin. Wrinkles and lines are considered indentations in the skin, so by “sanding” down the skin with exfoliators, the lines and wrinkles will be less deep, and therefore, less noticeable. Once the skin is exfoliated, you should focus on giving the skin intensive hydration to fill the cells with moisture so the lines stay plumped up.
