What’s Jessica Simpson’s Favorite Moisturizer?

New Beauty Magazine recently did a feature on Jessica Simpson’s fave moisturizer, Renée Rouleau Hawaiian Nourishing Cream.

Jessica has been a long time client of Renée Rouleau and has used our line to keep her skin looking beautiful.

Here’s what New Beauty said:

“Think skin prone to breakouts doesn’t need moisture? Think again. Open with her fight against acne, Jessica Simpson relies on Renée Rouleau’s Hawaiian Nourishing Cream to treat her sensitive skin and keep it hydrated. The healing moisturizer uses red marine algae from Hawaii to help repair the skin, botanical ginseng to revitalize it and vitamin C-rich rose hip extracts to leave behind a bit of radiance… Read more

What Exactly is a Night Cream?

There are a lot of misconceptions about what a night cream is. Yes, a night cream is technically a moisturizer that you use at night but many cosmetic companies use the term “night cream” in the name of their products for the sole purpose of assisting consumers with differentiation. However, it is perfectly acceptable to use a moisturizer at night that does not include the word, “night,” in it. 

The truth is you can use any moisturizer at night that is compatible with your skin type (see our nine skin types) and one that does not contain sunscreen. 

So the rule is moisturizers with SPF are meant to be used during the day and moisturizers that do not have sunscreen in them should be used at night. See the collection of Renée Rouleau moisturizers… Read more

My Very Favorite Moisturizer for Winter

My line has over 70 products now and while I adore all of the formulas, my personal winter skin saver is our Hawaiian Nourishing Cream. I’m a skin type #2 (see our nine skin types) so the Sheer Moisture is recommended but in winter my skin needs a bit more hydration.

The moisturizer: This age-defying formula uses a special bio-fermentation technology derived from Red Marine Algae found along the shores of the Hawaiian Islands. Red Marine Algae along with potent vitamins work to dramatically increase skins moisture levels, as well as encourage collagen stimulation to reveal smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Many of our customers compare the anti-aging results to Creme de La Mer, but our formula does not contain mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, dyes or artificial fragrances an is lighter weight on the skin. It is used in all the Renée Rouleau facials in our Dallas skin care spas… Read more

Needing a Good Anti-Aging Moisturizer That Won’t Clog Pores?

Now that it’s Fall, most people aren’t quite as oily as during the summer months, yet the winter dryness hasn’t set in. Here’s my favorite moisturizer to use during the transitional months.

The Moisturizer: This high-performance, paraben-free formula drenches skin in time-released stable antioxidants while providing lightweight and greaseless moisture deep within skin’s surface. It uses Silanol Technology, a method that is used to ensure Vitamin C antioxidant activity and delivery of beneficial ingredients into the skin’s surface. Vitamin C, Vitamin A and three forms of Vitamin E protect skin from aging free radicals while creating a moisture reservoir between skin cells that last up to 20 hours. Multi-Vitamin Cream keeps skin moist and supple, with a radiant glow to give it the perfect balance that it needs… Read more

Five Ways to Reduce Oil Production in Skin

As someone with oily skin, I’m always trying to reduce oil production to keep the shine under control. While you can never make the skin stop producing oil altogether, there are definitely things you can do to slow the flow.

What I’ve discovered through my own experiences with my skin as well as working with clients hands-on for 25 years as a celebrity esthetician is that the amount of oil your skin produces is directly tied to the hydration levels in your skin. Oily skins don’t need additional oil (which is why oil-free lotions are suggested) but you still need water in the skin. When the skin doesn’t have the water it needs, the skin attempts to balance itself by producing more oil (by stimulating the nerve endings) to compensate for the lack of water. Simply put, skin cells are like fish, they need water to live and without it, the skin doesn’t respond well.

Here are several examples to explain this concept further:

-Several years ago, a skin care lab sent me a sample of a gel cleanser to try. They didn’t include the ingredients of the cleanser so I didn’t know exactly what was in it, but I went ahead and tried it anyway. The next day, my skin was SO oily. I couldn’t figure out why my skin was so oily until I remembered the only thing I had done differently was to use this cleanser the night before. I contacted the lab and sure enough, it contained one ingredient that is an absolute no-no to use on all skin types—Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Yuck! This ingredient is a strong cleansing detergent and very dehydrating, which caused my skin to produce more oil. (All of the Renée Rouleau gel cleansers are sulfate-free.)… Read more
