(When she recommends a product, it’s guaranteed to fly off stores shelves.) In her first podcast ever, Renée is sharing her complete, at-home facial routine for sensitive, dehydrated skin that’s still prone to a spot of acne – so if you want to achieve her enviable glow (and learn how to retain “baby fat” cheeks), get those shopping carts ready!!

You’ll hear the exact steps in her personal skincare routine, from double-toning to her favourite budget skincare buy, to the SPF for face she’s calling the GOAT. And… we finally discover the best dupe for the pricey Skinceuticals CE Ferulic vitamin C serum Jill is always recommending. All hail, Gothamista!
