  • How To: The Renée Way +

    IN THE MORNING: Cleansing your skin in the morning and applying an lightweight, soothing moisture is essential to getting healthy-looking skin.

    Step One: Cleanse with Moisture Protecting Cleanser. On damp skin, apply a nickel-size amount of gel, work through in circular motions and rinse well. Pat skin dry and immediately follow with moisturizer.

    Step Two: Apply a thin layer (dime-size amount) of Skin Recovery Lotion to entire face and neck.

    IN THE EVENING: It's important to wash your face and apply a lightweight lotion at night to remove a day's worth of oil, dirt and makeup. This will prepare your skin for optimal repair while you sleep.

    Step One: Cleanse with Moisture Protecting Cleanser. On damp skin, apply a nickel-size amount of gel, work through in circular motions and rinse well. Pat skin dry and immediately follow with moisturizer.

    Step Two: On damp skin, apply a thin layer (dime-size amount) of Pore + Wrinkle Perfecting Serum over entire face. A tingling sensation may or may not occur, but is not an indicator of product effectiveness. Wait 60 seconds and apply moisturizer. To avoid getting too much exfoliation, use this serum only every other night. On the alternate nights, just apply moisturizer after cleansing.

    Step Three: Apply a thin layer (dime-size amount) of Skin Recovery Lotion to entire face and neck.

    I like the smell and smoothness of the product. Don't see any results yet though.

    Good products for sensitive skin

    Real talk: I’ve been skipping a skin care routine in my life for a long time, partially because of the cost and laziness, but mostly because my skin was irritated by darn near everything from face wash to lotion to makeup to washcloths for as long as I can remember. When I started using this set twice a day (the cleanser and lotion. I only use the serum 3 times a week), there was some slight tingling/burning (sounds worse than it was, only lasted maybe 20 seconds)…. my skin needed about two weeks to get used to the serum and sometimes, the lotion. That being said, now my skin has adjusted and it feels clean, moisturized, and surprisingly, I’ve had very little breakouts. In the past, skin care has reacted very poorly with my skin, so I expected the same from this. But I was pleasantly wrong about that. My only issue? I think for the price, we should get a little more product in both the lotion and the serum, but I believe these products are truly working for me. My husband even asked me just last week if I was wearing new makeup or something because my skin looked “really good”. I can’t tell you how wonderful that made me feel, especially because he’s not the type to notice things like that typically. I hope over time that my skin will show even more of the benefits of this skincare line.
