Practical Principles

The Murad Method: Wrinkle-Proof, Repair, and Renew Your Skin with the Proven 5-Week Program written by Dr. Murad offers wonderful and effective principles on the anti-aging process. I have been following the treatment and principles offered in the book only to find that my skin has never look better. I love the fact, besides offering his own products for the recommended treatments; it is not necessary to purchase them to achieve ultimate results. Simple, common household products can be just effective in fighting the aging process. A couple of my friends have also begun Dr. Murad's program and every time we see each other it has become somewhat of competition with who can achieve the most results on Dr. Murad's plan. Dr. Murad's principles are so refreshing just like my skin.

A wealth of information

Since I was just a teenager with acne I have been using Murad products. Back then it was the only thing that seemed to clear my skin. Now, a little older, my skin concerns go beyond acne and up until reading the Murad Method I was at a loss as to how to care for my skin. As a 20 something, taking care of my skin now seems important but I wasn't sure what it meant. Reading magazines simply tells you products to buy but not why. Reading The Murad Method explains, in a detailed but concise way, what I need to do to get rid of age spots, bags under my eyes, and the occasional blemishes as well as prevent wrinkles from forming. And this goes beyond products - it is total wellness, beauty and health from the inside out, both mental and physical. It is easy to read, easy to customize a program for myself and a guide I can always refer to cause let's face it - who knows what my skin is going to have to deal with in the years to come! I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little direction on how to stay young, beautiful and healthy forever!

A practical and scientific view of skincare

I found this book to be very easy to read and informative. "The Murad Method" explains the science of skin in plain english and gives many different alternatives for skincare products. While there has been a review here that states:"This book does not tell you what your skin needs or why your skin needs them. What do you learn from the book you ask? You learn that Dr. Murad recommends you using his products."I couldnt feel that this observation was more wrong. While Dr. Murad does recomend some of his products in the book, he also has almost 20 pages dedicated to suggesting other product lines that he feels are comperable to his. Also, he lists ingredients to look for that will help to create healthy skin. By breaking down these products into ingredients he allows the reader to seek different avenues other than just the alternative he knows of or recomends. He even suggests products that you can purchase at your local health food store or grocery store.Another comment made:"And who drinks pomegranate juice anyways?"I personaly drink pomegranate juice on occassion... and if there is a company that MAKES pomegrante juice (www.pomwonderful.com)then there must be other people drinking it as well. Dr. Murad clearly explains why pomegranate juice is good for you and the science behind it... explaining free radical damage and antioxidants.I personaly thought this book was very helpful; addressing not only skin health, but also overall health. While I know Dr. Murad's products probably fulfill all of my skincare needs, he does discuss alternatives to purchasing his products and I never felt like I "had" to purchase them to get good skin.

My skin has never looked better!I'm 50 years old and was considering Botox and other cosmetic surgery treatments. With Dr. Murad's wisdom an effective products, I feel like I've gotten a face lift - naturally.The Murad Method is surely the beauty bible!

The Value of Skin Care, Simply Explained

I've always looked at beauty books as so much babble and hype. But when I came accross the Murad Method, I was hooked by the clean, compelling prose and the simple, building-block elements of Dr. Murad's program. It really makes so much sense. Kudos to Murad and Lange for producing a skin-care book for people like me who want substance and science, not fluff, but want it simply explained in layman's terms.
