You are Skin Type 5

Let’s Get You on the Pathway to Smooth,

Healthy Skin with less Visible redness.

Thank you for putting your face in my hands.

In a world where conventional skincare merely skims the surface and where skin types face the same old generalizations of dry, oily and sensitive, I go deeper—something even professional brands fail to do.

As a 35+ year Expert Esthetician, I know your skin is complex and individual. I see you and understand why your skin behaves—and misbehaves—the way it does.

When you understand your skin and its type, you become empowered to make better choices, which is why I believe in teaching—not just treating—so that you can become the expert of your own skin, too.

Welcome to the Renée Way.

Let's get you on the path to real results.

Renée’s Hands-On Analysis For Skin Type 5

  • YOUR SKIN IS CONSIDERED TO BE "OVER-CALCULATED" WITH REDNESS OR YOU MAY HAVE ROSACEA-LIKE SYMTOMS.
  • HARSH PRODUCTS, MAKE YOUR SKIN FEEL TIGHT, IRRITATED, OR SENSITIVE.
  • YOU MAY PRODUCE T-ZONE OIL IN THE SUMMER, AND HAVE BLACKHEADS OR ENLARGED PORES.
  • YOUR SKIN CAN FEEL DRY IN THE WINTER, AND REQUIRES EXTRA HYDRATION WITHOUT PORE-CLOGGING INGREDIENTS.
  • YOU WANT TO PREVENT THE SIGNS OF AGING AND ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SKIN LOOKING HEALTHY AND FREE FROM DISCOLORATION.

Skin Tips

• Topical hydration is key—and drinking water isn’t the answer. Your skin will drink in the benefits from a medium-weight moisturizer (not too heavy, not too light, just right) as it improves your skin barrier to reduce sensitivity.
• Reach for a gentle, leave-on acid exfoliator at night to create a smoother texture, make pores appear smaller and remove dull, dry cells to reveal a radiance.
• Since your skin repairs itself at night, never pass on your bedtime routine. Skin permeability increases while you sleep, allowing active ingredients to absorb on a deeper level. Feeling lazy? Perform your routine earlier in the evening.
• The ultimate rule of thumb is my “Golden Minute” rule—once you’ve cleansed, apply the rest of your skincare within 60 seconds to avoid unnecessary moisture loss and prevent dehydration.
• Make sure to reach for the cleanser and wash your face in the morning to remove leftover nighttime products and ensure the protective daytime formulas you use (like sunscreen) can work effectively.
