The Expert’s Guide to Rosacea

Did you know that more than 14 million people in the United States have Rosacea? The condition has also affected many familiar famous faces such as Renee Zellweger, Mariah Carey and Princess Diana. So what exactly is Rosacea and how do you treat it? Everyday Health enlisted an expert panel to get their insight on causes and treatments for this condition. And the panel included our very own expert,
Dr. Howard Murad, along with other dermatologists and industry professionals, all providing their expertise and opinions on this topic.

Rosacea is a long-term condition that affects the skin, creating redness, most commonly on the face. Most Rosacea sufferers see the most redness at the center of their face and may experience swelling or burning in these areas.

In Everyday Health’s panel, Dr. Murad explains the various triggers that can increase the redness on the skin, including blood flow, skin bacteria, skin mites, sun, irritation of follicles and psychological factors. He also discusses Inclusive Health, a three-pronged approach to optimal health, as a method to effectively lessen the effects of Rosacea. By treating your skin with topical treatments, following a proper diet and supplement routine as well as identifying the stressors that can trigger a flare up, one can lessen the irritating symptoms of Rosacea.

MTV’s Most Wanted Get Murad’s Most Wanted

Murad’s “Most Wanted” goes to Hollywood! This May, Murad had the opportunity to introduce Hollywood’s hottest celebrities to the Murad brand and get their skin red carpet ready for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. The 2-day event saw the likes of Extra host, Mario Lopez, Access Hollywood host, Maria Menuonos and Ali Landry, TV personality, along with celebrity stylists, agents and media. Because celebrities are always in the public eye, perfect skin is a must for them. And even though you can try and cover up flaws with makeup, these celebrities know that you have to start with a healthy complexion to get the perfect look.

To attain perfect awards-show skin, we gifted our guests with “Murad’s Most Wanted”–an all-in-one kit with some of our most sought after skincare products, including Hybrids Acne Primer and Shine Control, Acne Treatment Concealer Dark, Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for eyes, Age Reform Complete Skin Renewal Kit and Hybirds Soothing Skin, Lip and Cuticle Care. MTV.com even named Murad’s Absolute Bronzing Boost as a must-have item for hot celebrities like Robert Pattinson and the rest of the Twilight cast.

The Clean Scene line was also represented at the Murad suite. Celebs got to experience the scrumtious Yumberry scent of the line, touch the products and of course, take home their favorites! Some of the young celebrities were new to Clean Scene (and loved it!) while others were even fans of it already, including Ariel Winter from Modern Family.

Not only were celebrities exposed to a handful of Murad’s innovative products, they also got additional insight into Dr. Murad’s Inclusive Health philosophy. Each of them received personal skincare recommendations and an invitation for professional services at the world-renowned Murad Inclusive Health Spa in Los Angeles. The MTV gifting suite was a great opportunity for the Hollywood scene to experience a taste of Murad and to learn how they can obtain the healthy, beautiful skin they want and need to stay on top of their game.

Goodbye June Gloom, Hello Perfect Skin!

June Gloom may call for less-than-perfect weather, but that’s no reason to keep us down! In celebration of the bright days of summer to come, the Murad Inclusive Health Medical Group hosted “June Bloom,” an open house event to meet Dr. Annie Chiu, our board-certified Dermatologist, observe live cosmetic demonstrations and receive mini Inclusive Health consultations.

Guests arrived and mingled with Dr. Chiu and other Murad Medical Inclusive Health Group staff, while sipping on pomegranate mimosas (full of antioxidants!) and enjoying an artful display of refreshments. Guests were invited to take a tour of the Medical Group offices, where each room was set up for a demonstration or a consult.

The crowd gathered around the Inclusive Health Consultation room, as our Inclusive Health Practitioner and Medical Esthetician performed complimentary Inclusive Health consults and Visia skin mapping, allowing our guests to receive an in-depth analysis of their skin inside and out.

Murad Exclusive Tastemaker Event

When you think of Halle Berry and Blake Lively, you automatically think of beautiful skin, makeup and style, right? But do you ever wonder who is behind the scenes to make these celebrities look so radiant? We did! So, we invited a very select group of these industry insiders to an intimate dinner with Dr. Murad so they would know about the latest innovations from Murad and what makes the Murad brand so unique.

Held at the renowned restaurant Valentino in Santa Monica, the event’s attendees included some of the industry’s top celebrity stylists, makeup artists, editors and agents whose lives revolve around making the world (and the people in it) more beautiful. Stylist Lindsay Albanese (who’s perfected the looks of Mary J. Blige, Maria Menounos and more), Bella Sugar host Susan Yara, and beauty guru Nadine Jolie were just a few of our VIP guests.

As guests arrived, they had the opportunity to sample, touch and feel Murad’s latest product innovations including Hybrids® Skin Perfecting Primer Acne and Shine Control; Hybrids Absolute Bronzing Boost SPF 15; Hybrids Soothing Skin, Lip and Cuticle Care; Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture for eyes; Acne Treatment Concealer Dark; and the Age Reform® Complete Skin Renewal Kit. Guests were ecstatic about the products and could not wait to write about them, share them with their clients and of course, use them on themselves (which some did while dining!).

In between an amazing 7-course dinner prepared by Valentino’s executive chef, Dr. Murad, Jeff Murad, VP of Product Development and Lori Jacobus, CMO, connected one-on-one with the guests, sharing Dr. Murad’s philosophy on Inclusive Health, his three-pronged approach to maximize cellular health. Influencers also shared the opportunities they see within the industry with Dr. Murad, Jeff and Lori, and got some surprising and innovative answers!

After a successful event (and numerous email exchanges the next morning), we knew that the evening had created a very special bond between Murad and our guests. Laughs were shared, stories were told, and most importantly, everyone walked away inspired! We’re looking forward to many more tastemaker dinners in hopes of being one step closer to helping everyone achieve beautiful, healthy skin.

Ways Murad is Green

• Dr. Murad encourages everyone to eat their water, rather than drinking it! Eating your water through colorful raw fruits and vegetables helps conserve our natural resources by eliminating the overuse of plastic water bottles – and may just help your cells stay hydrated longer too!
• Murad volunteers with Heal the Bay and as a corporate sponsor of their aquarium in Santa Monica, provides a hands-on marine science learning experience for children of all ages.

 

• Murad distributes pedometers to all employees to encourage them to walk instead of use their car.
• Murad supports the Roundhouse Aquarium in Manhattan Beach, CA through the sponsorship of an aquatic touch tank and a unique state-of-the-art microscope system to teach children the importance of the sea life within our coastal waters. Because what we know and care about, we protect.
• Murad employees receive one paid day-off a month to volunteer. Many employees take this day to help our environment by participating in beach clean ups, tree plantings, environmental education and much more!
• Every Friday during the month of April, Murad employees are focusing on helping the environment. Activities include beach clean ups, trail clean ups, carpooling incentives, recycling efforts and more!
• Education is very improtant to Dr. Murad – as is taking care of the planet. That’s why, in honor of Earth Day, during the month of April Murad hosts a one hour company wide education seminar focusing on how to be a “greener you!”

Good Housekeeping Says Murad is #1

We love to start off the New Year on a high note, and this certainly does the trick! Good Housekeeping just named Murad Hybrids the #1 Beauty Product of 2010.

Here’s what they said:

“It was hard to pick a number 1 from all the great products I’ve seen this year, but this is my absolute favorite.  Murad’s developed a line of Hybrids, where makeup meets skincare.  This primer from the collection instantly controls oil and has a hint of color to even out skin tone.  It’s lightweight, so I love to use it on days when I don’t want to put on heavy makeup.”

Thanks Good Housekeeping! We love Hybrids, too
