Inclusive Health®: Emotional Self-care


If skincare is healthcare, then doing things to promote good health should ultimately improve your skin. That’s why world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad recommends a whole-body approach for glowing, radiant skin. With Dr. Murad’s three pillars of Inclusive Health® as your guide, finding your personal path to whole body wellness has never been easier.

Let’s explore the third pillar of Inclusive Health®: Emotional Self-care

The final pillar to improved health and appearance is a balance of mind, body and spirit. Scientific studies have shown strong correlations between mental health, happiness and physical health. So surround yourself with people you care about and set aside some time every day to do the little things that make you happy. Take a long walk or enjoy a stress-reducing spa treatment. Your body (and your skin) will thank you.

Inclusive Health®: Internal Skincare®

If skincare is healthcare, then doing things to promote good health should ultimately improve your skin. That’s why world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad recommends a whole-body approach for glowing, radiant skin. With Dr. Murad’s three pillars of Inclusive Health® as your guide, finding your personal path to whole body wellness has never been easier.

Let’s explore the second pillar of Inclusive Health®: Internal Skincare®

Beautiful skin on the outside begins with hydrated cells and strong connective tissue on the inside. Feed your cells with the raw materials they need to stay healthy: foods rich in Lecthin, Omega-3 fatty acids and other vital nutrients. Many of these can be found in raw fruits and vegetables.

And because it is not always possible to eat enough of these foods, it is important also to take these nutrients in the form of dietary supplements every day. Murad offers a variety of supplements to target your skin concerns.

For Acne Breakouts
Pure Skin® Clarifying Dietary Supplement
For Fine Lines and Wrinkles

For Cellulite and Stretch Marks

Inclusive Health®: Topical Skincare

If skincare is healthcare, then doing things to promote good health should ultimately improve your skin. That’s why world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad recommends a whole-body approach for glowing, radiant skin. With Dr. Murad’s three pillars of Inclusive Health® as your guide, finding your personal path to whole body wellness has never been easier.

Let’s explore the first pillar of Inclusive Health®: Topical Skincare

As the largest organ of the body, the skin is extremely responsive to topically applied products. Each Murad product contains Dr. Murad’s Recipe of essential ingredients for beautiful skin: hydrators to infuse healthy moisture, antioxidants to neutralize harmful environmental aggressors, and anti-inflammatories to calm irritated skin.

For optimal topical skincare, follow Murad’s three step system:

Cleanse
Wash away impurities and prepare skin for treatment.

 

 

 

 

Treat
Target your skin concerns for a renewed complexion.

Get the 21st–Century Answer to Acne with Acne Complex®

Most acne products contain old-fashioned Benzoyl Peroxide, first used to treat acne way back in the 1920s. While Benzoyl Peroxide is effective at killing the bacteria responsible for breakouts, it’s also very drying—and can leave skin red, scaly and inflamed.

Acne Complex takes a 21st-century approach to treating acne—combining cutting-edge active ingredients (like Silver Citrate and Encapsulated Salicylic Acid) with more than 26 targeted ingredients to soothe, calm and hydrate the skin. The result? Healthy, soft, clean skin—without the hard side effects.

Ready to try Acne Complex? Order today and get 2 free bonuses.

Already clear? Try these problem solvers.

Fade Post-Acne Scars

 Fades dark spots that remain after blemishes heal.

“I have acne scars that are red and brown on my face and I bought the post-acne spot lightening gel and it has worked WONDERS!!! I love this product. I no longer have the unsightly discoloration on my face. Thank you murad!”
-traceyl from TN
 

 

 

 

 

Keep Oil in Check

 Controls oil for up to 8 hours.

 ”I absolutely couldn’t live without this one. It controls shine literally all day and you still get the moisturizing benefits, but without shine. It’s really rich and creamy to the touch but is so matte once applied. I love it!”

Clear Skin From the Inside Out
By Kirstie Margalit, Content Manager


A daily topical skincare routine is essential for a clear, healthy complexion. But you might be surprised to learn that topical products only address 20% of your skincare needs. So how do you deal with the other 80% of the equation? Internal care. To make sure you’re giving your skin the essential nutrients it needs, eat right and take supplements, like Pure Skin® Clarifying Dietary Supplement.

Pure Skin Clarifying Dietary Supplement is more than just a multivitamin—it actually targets breakouts before they begin, with a complex blend of nutrients and botanical that encourage clear, healthy skin. Vitamin A stabilizes cell turnover to help prevent clogged pores, B vitamins assist with tissue growth and repair, Yellow Dock and Burdock Root support the body’s ability to remove blemish-producing toxins, and Zinc helps minimize skin irritation.

The result is a powerful internal defense against breakouts. In fact, Pure Skin Clarifying Dietary Supplement is scientifically proven to reduce breakouts by up to 55% in 6 weeks. So if you want to get clear fast, fight breakouts before they begin!
