Riassunto

The renowned dermatologist’s easy-to-follow, quick-results program to treat skin both inside and out, using widely available products

Since 1972, Dr. Howard Murad has been studying the effects of the environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on skin and creating a skin-care program to slow the aging process. The Murad Method is the result of his three decades of clinical experience treating more than 40,000 men and women as well as independent research proving the effectiveness of the program. His unique approach to skin care combines external products and internal supplements in a simple regimen that will improve the texture and look of anyone’s skin.

This book clarifies the science behind what Dr. Murad believes is the next generation of skin care, an approach based on what he calls the Water Principle. Rather than relying on a single “miracle” ingredient, this breakthrough program includes a combination of exfoliants, polyphenols and other antioxidants, amino acids, fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory agents that enhance skin hydration.

The Water Principle is the foundation of Dr. Murad’s unique system for repairing and rejuvenating your skin. The skin is your body’s largest organ, and The Murad Method is the first book to show you how its appearance directly reflects your overall health.

The Murad Method has been clinically proven to:
- boost hydration
- reduce wrinkles
- increase elasticity
- improve sun protection

By following a regimen that suits your skin type and requires just five minutes, morning and night, for five weeks, you will not only counter the damage that causes aging, but actually reverse the visible signs of aging and reduce wrinkles.

Simple, clear charts show you how to customize an anti-aging regimen for your skin type and special concerns. You can assemble your own program, using either Murad or name-brand products. There is an extensive listing of products that contain the key ingredients Dr. Murad recommends in his anti-aging prescription to guide you.

The information in this book will change the way you think about your skin—and give you the tools you need to make your skin look younger in five weeks.

Informazioni sull'autore

Howard Murad, M.D., is a pharmacist and board-certified dermatologist. He is an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California at Los Angeles and was named one of the top four dermatologists in the country by Vogue.

Dr. Murad pioneered many of the advances widely used in skin care and dermatology. In the late 1980s he founded the Murad Skin Research Laboratory and introduced the skin-care industry to over-the-counter alpha hydroxy acid products. At that time, he also opened one of the country’s first medically supervised day spas. Since 1992, all Murad products have contained antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Dr. Murad’s discoveries that specific supplement formulas could have dramatic effects on the skin led to the introduction of Internal Skincare® in 1996. Dr. Murad also continues to maintain a private practice in Los Angeles.

Dianne Partie Lange is an award-winning health writer who is currently a health news columnist for the Los Angeles Times. A registered nurse, she is the co-author of the American Cancer Society’s Informed Decisions, and for ten years she wrote the “Body News” column for Allure magazine.

Praise for Dr. Howard Murad and The Murad Method

One of the country s best dermatologists. Vogue

Dr. Murad is a true visionary and an amazing risk taker. I am always intrigued by and very impressed with his developments in skin care. He leads, others follow. Felicia Rogawska Milewicz, Beauty Director, Glamour

Dr. Murad is the Deepak Chopra of skin care. Los Angeles Magazine

Once you know Dr. Howard Murad, you inevitably realize he has a much deeper understanding of complete health and how it is the synergy of the whole body that creates outer beauty. I deeply respect his research, his inclusive health philosophy and his commitment to staying on the horizon of skin-care treatments. For a long time I have hoped Dr. Murad would write a book. His insight, his practice, and his peaceful nature are too wonderful not to share with the world. Cheryl Tiegs

Dr. Howard Murad has literally changed the face of professional skin care. His integration of science-based concepts with the reorganization of holistic care of the skin is a true innovation. Dr. Murad s philosophy of not treating skin problems, but treating people with skin problems supports his belief that skin care is health care. Mark Lees, Ph.D., Chairperson of the Board, The Esthetics Manufacturers and Distributors Alliance of the American Beauty Association
