Lucky Magazine: “Do Facials Cause Breakouts?” Renée recently met with Maura Lynch, Senior Beauty Editor at Lucky Magazine to answer this commonly asked question!  “The short answer: No. The long answer: Facials are not supposed to cause breakouts. If someone is telling you that facials bring all that congestion to the surface and that’s why your face freaks out after a treatment–they’re lying.” Read full answer here.

PinkMemo: “Best Face Forward: The year has been rough on our skin, so, we ran to facial fave Renée Rouleau for a rejuvenating fix. Popular in Europe, her Bio Visage Lifting Facial is like an insta-facelift, minus the under-the-knife part. In fact, it’s just what it’s called–a facial–but the low-level electrical current impulses seem to magically lift skin, tighten, soften wrinkles, and get rid of that ruddy look we seem to achieve from too much sun, secondhand smoke, and, now that winter’s here, too much skin-drying time near the heater. Plus: You’ll see major improvements in your skin after just one facial. Must be magic.” See the feature here.

How to Properly Remove Eye Make Up

It’s so important to treat the eye area gently because this is an area where not only the skin is thin but the area is subjected to a lot of wear and tear from smiling, squinting and rubbing of the eyes. This translates into wrinkles and fine lines. Since many people use eye makeup and have to remove it nightly, it’s important to do this gently.

I always suggest using a liquid, oil-free, fragrance-free, no-sting eye makeup remover like our Soothing Eye Makeup Remover as these don’t contain irritants and oils that can seep into the eyes and cause unnecessary under eye puffiness. Apply eye makeup remover to a toning cloth or cotton pad and gently press down on the eye, holding for 20 seconds. This gives your eye make up a chance to dissolve to avoid unnecessary rubbing and touching. Then after 20 seconds in downward motions wipe away eye make up and mascara. Flip over pad or cloth and move in an upward direction to get underneath the top lashes. Voila!

See our best-selling Toning Cloths. They are fuzz-free, economical and will make you never want to go back to cotton balls again!

See our high-performance eye creams like Synergy Eye Cream, Firming Eye Therapy and Vitamin C Eye Serum.

Note: I don’t recommend wearing waterproof mascara on a daily basis (or not when needed) because it makes for a difficult removal–and more rubbing and tugging of the eye area.

Do You Have Bags Under Your Eyes? Skin Care Expert, Renée Rouleau Offers Help

FACT: The skin under the eyes is extremely thin and fragile and can have under eye bags, puffiness, lines and wrinkles. Of all the areas of the face the eye area can be the most problematic.

What are under eye bags?

The term “bags” refers to loose, sagging skin under the eyes that has lost its firmness.

Why do bags appear?

Bags start out in the early years as under eye puffiness and over time, the connective tissues that attach the skin to the orbital bone deteriorates resulting in loose, sagging skin. Bags start to show around the age of 50, when the skin naturally starts to lose its tone. For many individuals, bags are hereditary and for others it can be from years of allergies that caused them chronic puffiness around the eyes.

What can I do to help reduce bags?

Since bags are loose skin, it’s impossible to restore that loss of elasticity once the bag is formed. Cosmetic surgery will give you the most noticeable improvement.

What can I do to prevent bags?

To prevent bags, you must prevent puffiness:

-Get your thyroid checked. Under eye bags may be related to a thyroid function. Hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid) causes myxedema which makes changes to the connective tissues, which causes a loss of tone in the under eye area. Consult with your doctor.

-Get plenty of sleep. Being tired at night results in yawning and yawning makes the eyes tear. The excess fluids around the eyes will cause puffiness which weakens elasticity under the eyes accelerating under eye bags. (Read: Skin Tips for Reducing Dark Under Eye Circles)

-Control your allergies. One of the biggest contributors to under eye puffiness (and eventually bags) is from allergies.

-Avoid smoking. Smoking inhibits circulation and is the major cause of oxidative stress in the body resulting in a weakening of collagen and elastin fibers.

-Use eye care products containing skin-firming peptides. Peptides renew skin’s firming mechanisms to return skin to a more youthful-looking appearance. See our Firming Eye Therapy for lifting and tightening the eye area.

How do I reduce puffiness?

-Place a bag of frozen peas over the eyes. Cold temperatures constrict blood vessels, preventing the flow of fluid into tissues and diminishing puffiness in the process. (Read: Do Cucumber Slices on the Eyes Help Reduce Puffiness?)

-Keep your head elevated while you sleep. Sleep on two pillows at night to encourage proper drainage to reduce unnecessary fluid retention in the morning.

-Avoid salty foods at night. The sodium in foods encourage water retention under the eyes resulting in excessive swelling of the eye tissue. If you are trying to avoid puffiness under the eyes, it’s best to avoid salty foods at night and drink a lot of water to flush your system.

So if you are someone who has many, many skin care products that leave you without any real results, it’s simply because you cannot reverse bags using topical products. So preventing under eye puffiness is key.

A Surprising Cause of Under Eye Puffiness

Under eye puffiness is a prominent concern for many. In fact, I would say that it’s on the top five list of the most common skin care complaints.

Did you know that yawning is a cause of under eye puffiness? Here’s why:

If you stay up past your usual bedtime, chances are you’ll be yawning more. When you yawn, the act encourages your eyes to water which creates swelling and puffiness. Excessive yawning is actually the equivalent to crying during a sad movie because of the fluids it creates. So before you stay up past your bedtime to watch that last show or to read just one more chapter, consider the side effects. Just one more reason to get a restful night of sleep. It’s called, “beauty sleep,” for a reason… Read more
