Save your money, OTC eye & night cream is unnecessary.
Q&A Spotlight:
Q. Why don’t you sell eye cream or night cream?
A. Simply put, unless these creams contain medical grade concentrations of retinol or other proven plumping ingredients, they are a waste of money. OTC (over the counter) eye creams and night creams cannot legally contain enough of the proven amount of active ingredient to provide a drastic or even moderate improvement to the skin; if they did, it would be illegal and deemed a prescription by the FDA. Also OTC eye and night creams are usually a thicker viscosity which are comedogenic (pore clogging), which can cause milia (hard plug in pore you can’t push out) and acne. That said, many people can not use higher levels of retinol on their skin because it can cause redness, inflammation, unsightly swelling and for some sensitive skin types, even sores and dermatitis.
All J. Renee Organics products’ are formulated to exfoliate, to reverse oxidative damage (pollution that cause premature aging) and to moisturize the skin.
The lotion you use on your face will also be used on your eyes, your neck and your décolletage. You only need one moisturizer to do the job. There are a few reasons to use a different moisturizer or change your product all together, like: if you’re traveling or have moved to a different environment, you have a new medication that interferes with your skin’s natural state of health (like cancer treatment) or you are having hormonal changes like menopause, pregnancy, hysterotomy, endocrine disease or puberty. The perfectly formulated lotion that works for your skin type works for all the areas, not just one. This not only saves you time, it saves you money! Our mantra is: Less is more. Our skincare routines are perfect for busy people that can’t or don’t want to spend a ton of time or money on their routine but want to have clear, healthy, youthful looking skin.
Wrinkles AND Acne!?
Adult acne and wrinkles at the same time and how to combat both without harming your skin. Organic product solutions.
Aging with acne is totally normal. But a pain in the butt!
As we age, excess dead skin cells clog pores, PH levels get less acidic, making skin susceptible to bacterial growth, and stress and menopause stimulate oil production. The extra oil produced mingles with the loitering dry skin creating a sticky situation and the perfect environment for acne bacteria to thrive.
Below are some solutions to the problem.
Following a home routine that incorporates ingredients that gently and regularly exfoliate (eliminate the excess dead skin) and ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and moisturize. Many anti-aging products contain oils and thick comedogenic (poor clogging) ingredients that help the skin appear youthful, but will also contribute to adult acne. We, at J. Renee Organics, have created the solution to this problem. Many of our products are anti-aging AND anti-acne.
Home Routine:
1: Cleanse. Twice a day (and after exercising) with a cleanser that contains acids and/or enzymes. Don’t use drugstore teen acne cleanser! They over-dry skin and make wrinkles more apparent. Over drying the skin causes the body to ratchet up oil production, which is the opposite of what we want.
2: Tone.
- Toner is used for a few different reasons. You can spritz it on a cotton pad and wipe off any left over cleanser or dirt or bacteria you missed while cleansing. More importantly though, it is a piece of the puzzle that is your skincare routine. Some people think of toner as just an acne product, like witch hazel or Sea Breeze used to dry up acne and oil, but in actuality it all depends on the formulation of the product as to what it would be used for. Witch hazel is ok as an ingredient in a toner but used alone, is way too drying to the skin. Sea Breeze and other toners that are drunk on alcohol content are very harsh and can easily over-dry the skin with just one use, much less daily use. We have three toners that we sell here at J. Renee Organics. If I’m being honest, my favorite is the Bomb and Calm Toner because I have aging skin that is acne prone (I’m 41 and female with combo sensitive skin). The Bomb and Calm helps with acne, aging, blackheads and other problems and it has a little kick to it because of the glycolic acid, but its oleic acid helps the skin hold on to water to plump the skin too; it’s my magic elixir. The Citrus Spritz toner is a more gentle toner for all skin types and it helps clean and preps the skin to absorb your moisturizer. The last toner we offer is the Men’s Aftershave Toner, which can be used by anyone. This toner is thick, like a gel and because of its healing sulfur and antibacterial ingredients, it’s fantastic for acne prone skin and after hair removal methods like shaving, plucking, dermaplaning, electrolysis, waxing and threading so you don’t get ingrown hairs or acne. So, as you can see, there are toners for different reasons but they are an integral part of your routine because they prep for moisturizer, cleanse just a bit more and can improve skin problems.
3: Moisturize. You don’t need a night cream/day cream/eye cream... Shoot for one moisturizer that your skin likes AND STICK WITH IT.
4: Lastly, WEAR SUNSCREEN if outside! UV rays can appear to help a breakout at first by drying-out the skin, but also causes inflammation, acne scarring, wrinkles, age spots and cancer. I’m not a fan of 2 in 1 moisturizers with sunscreen, but that’s a whole other article. Check out the article and others on our Q&A page

Are you damaging your skin?
Know Your Skin Type
Most of my clients don’t know their skin type or guess wrong and are using harmful products that not only make their skin look and feel worse, but also compromise the health of their skin. It is essential for everyone to get a skin assessment to make sure they are using products that work well together to improve and/or maintain skin health and beauty. Not everyone that has shiny skin has an oily skin type.
There are many factors that go into skin type: environment you live in, water consumption, pore size (pores do not open and close), oil production, hormones, chronic disease, medications, UV exposure and certain hobbies like swimming. Many of these things can be true for one person! Here at J. Renee Organics, we are well educated on the effects of these things on your skin and will refer you to the perfect routine and products for your unique situation.
