For several years, Renee Rouleau has been my go-to skincare expert. Her advice is practical, reasonable, and always knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much about my skin and skincare in general from her. It is very exciting to see her in action (since I haven’t met her!) for me!

I make all of those mistakes. ha.

Thankyou for posting this, I found it really helpful! I am currently trying NOT to pick at my blemishes.... sooo hard!

I find these tips are really helpful. I do not use a toner. I really don't know the purpose of it. I guess it helps to seal in moisture?

I know that a lot of toners were used to ensure the pH balance of your skin!

I liked the tips, but the camera moving all the time to right-down-left-up made me dizzy.

I follow most of these rules so that's good. :D

Thanks,those were great tips. I love her necklace too!

do you agree that toners should be alcohol-free?

I'm not a skin expert, but as far as I know, alcohol is drying, so it's better to avoid it for skincare.

I can't seem to get to the video. It just shows it blacked out.

Do you have Flash blocked?

Thank you for the tip, she's very helpful :) One thing though, my english is not perfect and I don't understand a part of this video, when she says about the cleanser : " the more ..... the more drying it is to the skin". Could you help me? Thanks you!

Do you know what part of the video?

The missing word is "Lather"- She's saying the more soapy bubbles your cleanser makes, the more the cleanser is probably drying. Something like a gel-based cleanser that doesn't lather will be less drying, imo.

Thanks for sharing this! This was awesome and has great tips that we forget everyday.

thanks so much for introducing me to Renee Rouleau - I now use her Sheer moisture moisturizer, Elderberrry toner, and SPF 30 daily sunscreen, and her skin care line is my favorite I ever tried! My skin has never been happier - I notice her products are really hydrating but don't clog pores at all. :) I can't wait to use more of her products :). thanks for the tip; I would never have found this skin care line without you :)!
