Bare Necessities
Discover the importance of regular facials
You run twice a week, every eight weeks is your haircut and
every six months your teeth cleaning. These regular appointments
are essential to keep you looking and feeling your best. Howard
Murad, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine at UCLA and
founder of Murad, Inc., explains why consistent facial treatments are an integral
part of a health regimen you also should add to that list. "People
think facials are a luxury, but they should be considered a
necessity," says Dr. Murad. "It's important to use quality facial
products daily, but Massage Envy Spa's Murad Healthy Skin Facials
are the most effective way to achieve glowing, vibrant skin."
What You Can Expect
Massage Envy offers four types of facials, which target your
individual skin concerns.
"Talk to your esthetician about which facial treatment is right
for you," says Dr. Murad. During your facial, your skin will be
indulged with nourishing, soothing products that will leave your
skin feeling refreshed. Be sure to apply sunscreen after your
facial as it might be more sensitive immediately after your
appointment.
Keep It Up
As the weather turns cooler, your skin will need even more TLC.
Try Murad's newest hydrating product, Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate
Moisture, which can lock moisture into your skin for up to eight
hours to keep your skin healthy and hydrated during the dry, cold
winter months.
Body and Soul
In addition to facials keeping your skin vibrant and youthful,
the healing power of touch also helps you relax and rejuvenate,
says Dr. Murad. Pairing your facial with regular massage allows you
to experience tranquility from head to toe. And when you are
glowing-inside and out!-you'll feel better about yourself.
