Episode notes

On today’s episode, we’re chatting with Renée Rouleau, famed esthetician and the woman responsible for teaching Kirbie a ton about skincare. Not only is she a huge favorite among beauty editors and celebrities alike (including Demi Lovato, Lisa Rinna, and Lili Reinhart), but Renée also runs her successful eponymous brand, which she started 20 years ago. Renée chats with us about how she got started as an esthetician, her advice for how to figure out your skin type, and what to do about adult acne and blemishes. Plus, why skin mists might be a huge no-no during your daytime routine.
