61 Years of Healthy Skin: Time-Tested Routines and Advanced Services for Every Age

It's September 13, and that means I've successfully completed 61 trips around the sun! I'm filled with joy and pride to celebrate this special day, surrounded by the love and support of my friends and family.




Over the years, I’ve learned so much—not just about business and skincare, but about everything in between. Each lesson has shaped who I am today, and I'm grateful for the journey.



As a child of the '70s, I spent countless hours playing outside and swimming, completely carefree about the sun. Back then, sun protection wasn't even on our radar! I can still remember the days spent with my Aerosmith album covered in aluminum foil, slathered in baby oil—or my go-to, Panama Jack—if you could even call it SPF. All I wanted was to be bronzed and tan all summer long!




Boy, have I learned my lesson—especially after 20 years in the skincare industry! These days, I'm all about daily SPF, hats, and protective gear, but the damage from those early years is done. Now, I'm on a mission to reverse the effects or, at the very least, hit pause on the aging process. I truly feel I’ve achieved ageless skin, and I’m excited to share my routines and go-to treatments to help others achieve healthy, timeless skin too




I'm also sharing some real before-and-after photos of my skin through the years. Aside from my gray hair, my skin has truly maintained its healthy glow—without fillers or Botox (though there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!). I just don’t feel the need for them right now.

I'm diligent about my morning and night skincare routine. Some people say it takes too much time, but that's complete nonsense. It only takes a few short minutes, and even after enjoying a couple of my favorite Davio's Cosmos (and I’m hoping to have a celebratory one this weekend!), my routine doesn’t change! Consistency is key!




Marisa's AM Routine:

  1. Cleanse – Marisa's Skin Care Refreshing Gel Cleanser-to remove any impurities from the night before.

  2. Tone – Renee Rouleau Elderberry Soothing Toner to balance the skin’s pH and prep it for the next steps.

  3. Serum – Renee Rouleau Vitamin C&E  to protect against environmental damage.

  4. Moisturize – Renee Rouleau Hydraboost Rescue Cream to hydrate and keep the skin supple.

  5. SPF – Renee Rouleau SPF The most important step! 

  6. MAKEUP- I am obsessed with Jones Road Beauty (I could do an entire email on my love for this makeup)

This quick routine sets me up for a day of healthy, glowing skin!




Marisa's PM Routine:

  1. Cleanse – Refreshing Cleansing Gel to remove makeup, SPF, and impurities from the day. (sometimes I use Renee Rouleau Better Than Balm)

  2. Tone – Renee Rouleau Elderberry Soothing Toner to refresh and prepare the skin for deeper absorption.

  3. Serum – Renee Rouleau, Ultra Smoothing, Firm + Repair, Advanced Resurfacing Serum (Alternating 3 nights per serum) tailored for repair, like retinol or peptides, to target aging and renew skin overnight.

  4. Moisturize –Renee Rouleau Hydraboost Rescue Cream low with a rich, nourishing moisturizer to lock in hydration and support the skin's natural repair process..

This routine ensures my skin stays healthy, rejuvenated, and glowing!




Marisa’s Skin Care Treatments:

I know what you're thinking—I have access to all these amazing estheticians and cutting-edge devices. But, believe it or not, I’m like the carpenter whose house is falling apart! I rarely find time for treatments myself. An occasional eyebrow wax or dermaplaning session is about all I can manage to break my girls away from their busy schedules! Even with all the resources at my fingertips, it's a challenge to treat myself as often as I'd like.

But alas, we invested in the Lutronic Genius RF Microneedling and LaseMD Ultra because I knew my beloved clients wanted—and needed—these truly transformative treatments. It’s like a non-surgical facelift at a fraction of the cost of surgery! We combine two of our most powerful treatments to enhance the smoothness, tautness, and elasticity of your skin. These complementary therapies deliver dramatic results, even after just one session, though multiple sessions can further amplify and extend those results.

Now, let’s show 61 who’s boss!
