Podcast Episode 13: Why Redheads Need a Skincare Routine with Susan Ciminelli

“I feel like I could have been a redhead because my skin was so sensitive growing up and I was also sensitive emotionally, as well. To me, it’s one in the same. How you are externally, you are internally,” Susan Ciminelli says in Episode 13 of the How to be a Redhead podcast. “I think redheads ban together. It’s not only your coloring, but it’s like a sisterhood because you all understand each other.”

Susan has helped Adrienne and Stephanie with their glowing skin and gave vital tips for healthy redhead skin. Here are some of her recommendations:

1. Diet: Susan expresses how important diet is for everyone, especially redheads. She recommends organic foods, vegetables, organic meats and dairy. If you’re trying to cleanse dairy from your body, eat shiitake mushrooms and daikon.

2. Importance of a skin routine: Susan discusses how she doesn’t even spend that much time on her skin, but she has a skincare routine day and night. When asked about tips for people who do not have time for a routine, she says, “You need to reevaluate your life then. You need to give yourself a minute in the morning and at night.” Susan talks about the vast difference between her clients who take care of their skin and the clients who do not.

3. Importance of her recommended 5 step skincare routine:

Step 1: Cleanse

Step 2: Activate Your Skin Metabolism

Step 3: Skin Conditioning

Step 4: Lock Moisture In

Step 5: Moisturize

The root of all healthy, glowing skin is hydrated skin.

4. Botox and Fillers: She recommends people to stop zeroing in on what’s wrong with their skin and focus on the good. Susan says botox will prevent lines but be very careful with fillers.
