Zap those zits with Murad

PENNY LANE - PENNY LANE By Rebecca C. Rodriguez -
Acne is the bane of my existence. Imagine waking up on the cruelest morning (after hard night’s work or an alcoholic drinking binge) with a humongous zit on your face. Now, that is more disturbing than a Kafka-esque dream.

Well, it’s true that the face is what people see most of the time. And zits give a summary of how unhealthy and stressed one’s lifestyle is. Yes, there is a vital connection between the stress and acne. Perhaps they are the body’s most unforgiving tattletale, which affect men and women of all ages and races.

My search for the perfect acne products has taken on a holy-grail-like intensity. I won’t stop until I find something that will cure this annoying problem. The thing is, most products out on the market today just dry up acne, which could lead to more problems like skin dehydration, inflammation and irritation.

Thankfully, the Murad Acne Regimen fights acne inside and out. It addresses all factors of acne and skin breakouts, reducing cell build-up, excess oil and inflammation. What sets this line apart from others is that it has a patented internal supplement that treats acne breakouts from within. Plus, all products contain hydrating agents, anti-inflammatories and antioxidants together with acne-fighters that work together to achieve optimal skin health.

One of my goals in developing these products is to educate people about their skin, says, Howard Murad, dermatologist, CEO and founder of Murad Inc. "We need to address all of the factors which cause these red bumps. Acne blemishes can scar the skin, not to mention one’s self-esteem." No wonder Murad created this line to prevent this damage.

So, here are the products from the Murad Acne Regimen that provide relief for those suffering from acne and other acne-like conditions:
Cleanse And Tone
Start by washing the face with the Clarifying Cleanser. It contains salicylic acid, which cleans the pores and reduces bacteria by 99 percent. Ingredients such as black cohosh and green tea extracts soothe and hydrate the skin.

Next is the Clarifying Toner, which absorbs oil and impurities. This cooling formula is made of menthol, calendula, cucumber, grapeseed extract and witch hazel to tighten pores.
Treat And Repair
It is important to clear away dead skin by exfoliating. The Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel is a powerful clarifier. It deep cleans the pores while controlling breakouts. To banish blemishes, use the fast-acting Acne Spot Treatment with sulfur (minimizes breakouts) and zinc oxide (soothes and reduces inflammation).

If you want to take a break from blemishes, use the Clarifying Mask. This mask has a natural clay-based formula that absorbs impurities as it deep-cleans the skin, leaving it cool and calm. To hydrate troubled skin, dab the Moisturizing Acne Treatment Gel on the face. The great thing about this product is that it is oil-free and it increases moisture while decreasing breakouts. Use under makeup for a matte finish.
Acne Body Products
We all want a product that purifies, repairs, heals acne and problem skin. Murad is the only brand I know that has the Pure Skin Clarifying Supplement to strengthen your arsenal against acne. This patented complex is clinically proven to help reduce blemishes by 55 percent in six weeks. It contains vitamin A, B-complex vitamins and zinc to aid healing, prevent clogged pores and reduce inflammation. Skin becomes clear and healthy, indeed.

Acne pops out in other parts of the body like the neck, back and even on the chest. To clear your body, try Murad’s Clarifying Body Spray. Ingredients include salicylic acid and retinol that work with powerful antibacterial ingredients to penetrate pores and reduce acne blemishes while helping prevent new breakouts from forming.

Murad can put you on the path to healthy, beautiful skin. All you need is a consistent system, which will definitely make all the difference when you are treating acne.

Skincare is healthcare. Murad concludes, "I recommend an inclusive approach to skin health. By treating the whole person through aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage and nutrition, I believe we can change people’s skin and restore overall well-being, whether they have acne, or any one of the myriad of conditions."
