Topical Vitamins, Nature’s Antiaging Cream
Wrinkles, age spots and increased susceptibility to skin diseases and cancer are all reduced with topical antioxidants. Learn how to harness it.
UV Protection from Skincare ingredients
Topical antioxidants from skincare offer a range of benefits for the skin, primarily by fighting free radicals and reducing oxidative damage that cause wrinkles, age spots and increased susceptibility to skin diseases and cancer. Additionally, topical antioxidants can help protect against UV damage and reduce inflammation when used daily on the skin.
The benefits of plant extracts and peptides in protecting against UV and pollution damage are proven to protect skin from and reverse UV damage. Topical application of antioxidants can enhance the photoprotective function of UV filters in sunscreen as well.
The sooner you start using these little miracles from nature, the better your skin will look. Not only that, it will look youthful MUCH LONGER than someone who is not using them!
I started using natural, antioxidant rich products in my late 30s and I still look much younger than my peers at 45.
Vitamin C, known for its skin brightening effects, also helps protect the skin from sun damage and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that can reduce UV damage at a cellular level. When combined with vitamin C, it provides even greater protection.
Niacinamide can increase antioxidant defenses in the skin, control inflammation and reduce UV-induced skin damage.
Ferulic acid is an antioxidant that enhances the stability and effectiveness of vitamin C and E, and it also protects the skin from sun damage by reversing its effects and absorbing UV rays.
In summary, incorporating antioxidant-rich skincare products into your routine, along with regular sunscreen use, can contribute to a more robust defense against the damaging effects of UV radiation and help keep skin youthful, healthy and beautiful.
ALL J Renee Organics products are packed with vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants!
What is Microdermabrasion?
What is microdermabrasion and how does it help my skin?
MIcroderm
Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin. Microderm cleans out the pores making them look smaller, fades sun spots and acne scars, clears blackheads and acne, plumps fines lines and puts that youthful glow back into your cheeks. For significant improvement of pigmentation (sun spots & Melasma) and persistent acne, you may need a series of treatments.
The number of treatments and space between depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, your goals and your budget. Monthly or bi-monthly microderm treatments are beneficial for individuals with thick/dry skin, persistent acne or for people over 25 wanting to keep their skin looking and feeling young. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and there is no down time. I highly recommend pairing microderm with Light Emitting Diode Therapy (LED). LED plumps skin at the cellular level by helping your body produce its own collagen, kills the bacteria that causes acne, among other benefits.

Reversing Sugar Binge Skin Issues
How sugar speeds aging in your body and skin and how to reverse premature aging caused by it.
Now that you've stuffed yourself with Easter goodies, we unwrap how it affects your skin ... and how to reverse the damage.
Elevated insulin (caused by too much sugar) can increase oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores, blackheads, spots and acne. Additionally, high sugar intake can cause inflammation, which can exacerbate acne, Rosacea, eczema and other skin conditions.
Excessive sugar consumption can negatively impact skin health long-term by promoting inflammation, damaging collagen and elastin, aging the skin and body faster. This occurs through a process called glycation- where sugar molecules attach to proteins in the skin, forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs damage collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity.
Reversing this damage completely is not possible, but we can lessen the effects by using retinol, sunscreen, using natural antioxidant rich skincare products and by using peptides and hyaluronic acid. J Renee organic products and skincare treatments are packed with these ingredients for a reason! Natural ingredients have been extensively studied and proven to positively effect skin beauty and skin health.
While not consuming sugar is optimal, that's just not realistic. Doing monthly facials and using antioxidant rich skincare products at home daily will help erase the effects of some of the fun holiday treats. It’s imperative to use proper skincare at home and get facials if you regularly indulge in sugary treats, bread and pastries and alcohol. Schedule your facial today and we will asses your skin, assign you a skin type and make a home routine for you so there is no guessing or wasting money or time on preserving your youthful beauty.
Allergies, histamine & skin.
Learn what to avoid to help dry and inflamed, allergic skin during the
Pollen counts this year are OUT OF CONTROL! Historical highs in pollen are leading people to severe seasonal allergies, sleep issues because of it and skin problems.
People who experience seasonal allergies tend to experience dry, itchy, irritated skin. Also, histamine naturally stimulates oil production in the skin, so when you take antihistamines, it can dry the skin out. Combat dry skin with the proper lotion for you and your allergic condition.
When histamine is released in the body, the skin tells a story of the internal battle: it gets itchy, irritated and inflamed. If you already have skin issues like acne, rosacea, eczema or dermatitis, it could make those conditions worse when pollen counts are high.
Natural antihistamines are easier on the skin and the body and can provide relief from allergy symptoms as well as skin issues. Quercetin is a natural antihistamine that is found in apples, onions and berries. There are also quercetin supplements sold that can be taken daily.
During the height of spring and pollen counts, it’s helpful to avoid high-histamine foods so your body isn’t overwhelmed with reactions, making you feel and look worse. High histamine food consists of anything “old” or “aged”. Skip the left-overs, avoid aged, smoked, preserved, “sour” or picked food. Seafood is often the worst for histamine counts. Some fruits and veggies are also high in histamine, those include avocado, banana, tomatoes and worst of all: citrus fruits. Eating fresh meat, fresh veggies and fruit (accept the ones listed above) will help with your allergy battle.
As for your irritated, allergic skin, switching to a calming skincare regimen during spring that’s more moisturizing may help with redness and dry skin issues during high pollen times. For more information, schedule a free skin consult today to find your answers.
Eggs: Anti-aging for Skin
I know lately eggs can be a bit spendy, but they are one of the heavy hitters for skin anti-aging!
I know lately eggs can be a bit spendy, but they are one of the heavy hitters for skin anti-aging! They’re not only delicious, they contain many proteins, vitamins, and minerals that benefit skin.
Lutein and fatty acids in egg yolks help keep the skin hydrated and taught, while egg whites have bioactive peptides that can inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, potentially reducing hyperpigmentation.
Eggs are also rich in protein, which can help your skin produce new, healthy collagen, leading to thicker, firmer, and more elastic skin. Studies have shown that hydrolyzed egg membrane can reduce facial wrinkles by protecting against free radical damage and supporting fibroblast function.
Enjoy all the eggs you want on Easter and try to incorporate eggs into your regular diet as well.

Spotlight on Glycolic Acid
Our glycolic mask helps reverse signs of skin aging with a gentle kick of acid while calming the skin.
Studies prove it stops AND REVERSES signs of skin aging.
Glycolic acid (GA) has been studied and is proven to reverse photo-aging (sun damage), which means it successfully reverses age spots, crepey and sagging skin, wrinkles and acne scarring. Amazingly: a 2018 paper also reports that glycolic acid has a protective effect against UVB rays, meaning it may help prevent photoaging!
GA is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane that can penetrate the skin easily (being the smallest and one of the strongest molecules). It induces biological responses that can help restore skin's integrity; it helps the body produce more collagen.
GA stimulates the skin's production of hyaluronic acid in the deeper layers to plump crepey skin from the inside out, as well as brightening and polishing skin texture to create a youthful and dewy luster to reverse a dull and crinkled skin appearance.
Glycolic acid can, however, cause irritation for people with exceptionally sensitive skin, which is why our glycolic mask contains a low amount of acid and has calming ingredients to help soothe the skin. Incorporate a weekly glycolic mask, right after your home peel, to see extraordinary glowing skin!
Progressive Exfoliation
Get glowing #glassskin with progressive exfoliation with J Renee Organics products and J Renee Esthetics services. Learn how
The concept of progressive exfoliation is exactly what the stars in Hollywood do to keep their youthful glow in between their Botox or filler appointments. I prefer a more natural, gentle approach with plant acids and enzymes like glycolic acid, bromelain and salicylic acid to aid in cell turnover and to stimulate collagen production. Because you are removing the thick layer of dry, dead skin cells, your products are more readily absorbed too, which saves you money on serum and moisturizer.
There are levels of exfoliating; when used together at the right timing, they can achieve excellent results in clearing up acne, lessening the look of wrinkles, making pores look smaller and softening the texture of your skin.
DAILY: For daily gentle exfoliation, you can use a cleanser with enzymes or a retinol lotion or serum.
WEEKLY: You’ll want to do your acne or antiaging mask with a peel mask and add scrub bits for a bit of manual exfoliation.
MONTHLY: is when to see an esthetician for a stronger peel and microdermabrasion. The strength increases as the routine is spread apart more: daily is very gentle, weekly is a bit stronger and monthly is the most-strong, that’s why you only do it every 4-6 weeks.
If you follow this routine, your skin should become and stay soft and clear and your complexion will glow. It may take weeks or even months to see the full benefits of this routine though, so stick with it and be consistent. Make sure to do your daily routine in the morning and evening every day. The more consistent you are, the quicker you will see results.
Simply a scrub additive of olive seed, apricot fibers and bamboo. Add these natural bits and pieces to any cleanser or mask to create a scrub from the products that you know your skin likes. Just a pinch of these natural particles will provide enough scrubbing power to smooth out rough skin. 1 oz glass jar.
Place your wet product in the palm of your hand (cleanser or mask) and add a scoop of the dry fibers and mix together. (Scoop spoon included) Apply to the skin and very slightly push and scrub the skin in circular motions for about 30 seconds, making sure not to push too hard. If using a mask, leave on like you normally would; if a cleanser, rinse off and apply the next steps of your routine.
Enzymes gently scavenge damaged, diseased, and dead skin cells for optimal radiance. Gotu Kola is a proven collagen stimulant proven to work 120 times more effectively than synthetic collagen replacement therapies. Reishi mushroom carries Asiatic Acid to the cells for damage restoration, fading of sun spots and damage, wrinkle reduction, and boosting of cellular hydration. This beautifully gentle mask can be used by children, extremely sensitive skin types, Rosacea and anyone wanting to get a deeper cleanse and exfoliate but have adverse reactions to stronger products. 2 oz glass jar.
After cleansing your face and chest, apply a small amount to your finger tips and gently apply thin layer to face, neck and chest. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and a rag and apply toner, serum and lotion. Do not use in shower; too much moisture. Use 1-2 times per week unless you become sensitive, then only 1x per week.

Skin Care on a Budget
Skin care doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, we offer solutions for healthy glowing skin on a budget. Use the right products for your skin type to save time and money.
Make it stand out
Work with nature, not against it.
Of course, we all want to look our best, but beauty rituals are not always cheap, especially as we age or if you have acne or other skin conditions. Consistency is key; starting and stopping a program for your skin can not only be fruitless, it wastes time and money. I am here to shine some light on the best way to care for your skin on a budget.
Most people are incorrect about their perceived skin type and with rosacea, acne and sensitive skin, using the right products for your skin is IMPERATIVE! I offer free skin typing with ALL skin treatments and I have an affordable online form as well ($35).
Finding balance for your skin is the goal. Using products that wont harm your skin and will help it do its natural job of protecting you is what we strive for. Work with nature, not against it.
Frugal Skin Plan:
- DAILY: Wash, Tone, Lotion – 2x per day, every day (AM & PM), no matter what. Products, if they are the correct ones, should last about 2 months and our sets are around $100. Add a serum for skin conditions (acne, dry skin, aging for about $23).
- DO NOT USE FACE WIPES TO CLEANSE! These don’t actually clean your face and will end up drying it out: working against nature. READ MORE
- WEEKLY: Use a home peel mask, apply after washing, then rinse after 20 mins and apply toner and lotion. About $30 and lasts about 3-4 months.
MONTHLY: Get a professional peel or Mini Facial: $80-$120
Break it down: For around $160 per month, you can get you glowing, healthy skin as well as professional updating of your routine as the seasons change or health or environment changes.
The Right Tool for T.E.W.L
TEWL and dehydration are caused mostly by not drinking enough water but also by the lack of humidity in the environment. We all lose approximately 1 pint of fluid each day from TEWL. If you already have dry skin, you’ll lose more, leaving you open to dehydration and infection, as well as make you look older than you are.
Most of the skin problems (how it looks and feels) are due to overly dry skin. Of course, drinking more water and eating water laden vegetables and fruit will help the situation, but you also need to use the right skincare products to combat TEWL. Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) is when the water inside you evaporates through your skin. We all lose approximately 1 pint of fluid each day from TEWL. If you already have dry skin, you’ll lose more, leaving you open to dehydration and infection, as well as make you look older than you are.
TEWL and dehydration are caused mostly by not drinking enough water but also by the lack of humidity in the environment. Winter dry air and the use of indoor heating increase water loss, drying skin out even faster. Using drying products for acne and oily skin, drinking too much caffeine, pool swimming, illness, hormonal imbalance, smoking, stress and travel are also moisture killers. To repair the damage done and stop it from progressing, you need to be using skincare products that trap in water, while not clogging pores.
For most, applying heavy creams can cause more problems: clog pores, acne, milia to name a few. Try to find products that are well balanced with emollients and oils. Emollients are ingredients that seal in moisture; my favorite is jojoba oil because it fights bacteria and won’t clog your pores. Ceramides (lipids) in skincare are also extremely helpful for locking in water.
Once you find products that have the right ingredients, you then have to try them on your own skin to see if your skin reacts well. You need to try a new skincare routine for at least a month before seeing if it’s going to work for you. Why one month?... because it’s the typical full cycle of your skin.
There is a lot to learn about ingredients: ones that are good for your skin, ones that are bad for your skin and overall health and ones that work well enough together to actually make a difference. I have researched this for 13 years now, so if you would like specific advice on the right products and ingredients for YOUR skin, please set up a skin assessment and maybe a product assessment (I look over the ingredients of your current products). There are thousands of brands out there, it pays to have a professional’s advice on skincare products.
