True or False? Steaming the Skin Helps to Open Your Pores

When you steam your skin at home, or have it steamed in a professional facial, many people think the pores open up and they can get cleaned out easier. This is false. Pores aren’t like doors, they don’t open and close.

But steam is beneficial in two ways.

-The heat that the steam produces will raise the temperature of the skin, therefore softening the hardened oil in the pore for easier extraction and deep pore cleansing. (In all of the Renée Rouleau facials, we use special skin softening treatments along with steam to ensure the pores get properly softened for manual extractions—without leaving you red afterward.)… Read more

Let me start by saying, we love chemical peels for the many skin benefits they can provide. While we highly recommend getting a professional chemical peel, do know that it is best performed from November to May, when less time is spent outdoors, to prevent exposing newly peeled skin to the sun.

Chemical peels help to:

Are You a Smoker? Skin Tips to Save Your Skin

While it is a tough habit to break, smoking is very damaging to the health of your skin and is sure to bring on wrinkles faster. Smoking causes cells to be starved of oxygen resulting in dull, sallow, tired-looking skin with an absence of a glow.

What to do to get your skin glowing?

Use products that contain vaso-dilators to stimulate blood flow. Products with ingredients like Ginseng, Peppermint and Rosemary are all beneficial for boosting circulation to get your skin glowing!

Renée Rouleau Revitalizing Ginseng Toner is loaded with Ginseng Extract to provide oxygenation and stimulation to tired skin. Always use it after cleansing and leave damp on the skin before applying moisturizer to seal in the skin-glowing properties, as well as hydrating the skin to plump up thirsty skin cells… Read more
