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.
