Murad Anti Aging Treatment for Sensitive Skin

Face wrinkles make us look older and feel older. As we age, wrinkles form around our eyes, on our necks and on our bodies. However, the wrinkles on our face are the first ones we notice and they are the ones we're the most concerned with. They're certainly the main reason that people buy anti wrinkle treatments.

Genetic Aging and Wrinkles: Genetic Aging occurs with age as the production of skin-firming collagen slows and the elastin in the skin that gives it it's springy quality weakens. As collagen diminishes, the skin loses it's firmness, which makes wrinkles more evident. Genetic Aging is a long process that occurs over many years, although how early it begins and really takes hold depends on if you've had this treatment often enough and if you're on the right home care.

Can it be undone?

Yes, it can! The Lift and Firm Treatment can rebuild collagen, hydrate, renew cells, speed up cell production and the outcome is lifted, firmer skin.

In this treatment I used:

The AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser which has a trio of exfoliating acids in it. This combination will exfoliate, causing cell turnover and really lift dirt and debris.

The Rapid Exfoliator in Regular Strength: a seriously intense dose of exfoliating. This will cause cell renewal and it will get through the 25 layers of dead skin cells which will allow the rest of the treatment to penetrate deeply.

The Skin Smoothing Mask: This mask will help calm and will provide deep hydration. I usually do a European Massage right on top of this mask.

Hydrating Toner: This toner is seriously hydrating, calming and brings the PH of the skin back into balance to prepare for proper product absorption.

Sensitive Skin Soothing Serum: This serum helps calm any irritation.

Time Released Retinol Concentrate: Since Brooke was worried about wrinkles around the eye area, I used this to boost the anti-aging benefits. This product reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles by 45%. The retinol causes the skin to renew itself and for cell production to speed up.

Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30: This is an antioxidant rich sunscreen shield that hydrates the skin and improves skins barrier function.

Essential-C Eye Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15: This eye cream protects and hydrates as well as restoring elasticity and firmness.

This treatment is really effective in boosting the anti-aging effects. Skin is noticeably hydrated, lifted and firmer. Adding a great home care regimen will increase these benefits. Since Murad is a clinical line and was created by Dr. Murad, you can see results in just one week. I love it!

Facial Masks: Deep Nourishment For The Skin

Facial masks provide deep nourishment to the skin, so why do so many people neglect to use a mask? Because it takes longer; most masks need to sit on the skin for about 10-15 minutes. Not many people want to add time to their skin-care routine.

One of the main benefits of face masks is that they offer a wide range of skin care benefits in one easy application. A mask blankets the skin, helping the active ingredients penetrate. Masks can be used to moisturize, detoxify, increase circulation and replenish nutrients.

Another benefit of facial masks is that some offer double the skin care benefits! If you’ve ever seen the facial mask combos like a scrub and mask in one, you’re basically getting two skin care treatments in one product. First, you’re exfoliating off dead skin cells with the scrub and then you leave on the mask to purify, brighten or nourish the new skin you just revealed. You could save some money on these one’s and buy an exfoliating mask instead of an exfoliator and a mask.

You want a mask that is going to fill the biggest need for your skin, so obviously someone with acne doesn't need a hydrating mask because they already have too much oil. Figure out what your biggest concern is and find a mask that's designed to meet that need.

Facial Masks = Simple

Using a face mask might seem like a hassle to some people but they’re actually really simple to use. If you’ve got a few minutes, a bare face and mask, you’re good to go. You don’t have to worry about layering the right products on in the right order or anything fancy-just apply, wait and wash off. Face masks are one of the easiest and quickest ways to give your skin a big boost without a bunch of fuss. I’ll typically put on a mask during a commercial, plop back down on the couch and next commercial I rinse it off.

Here are some types of masks to consider:

Cream Masks

Using a cream-based face mask allows you to put it exactly where you want it and it lets you more easily decide how much of it you want to use. Maybe you want to spot treat some acne or apply a deep cleansing mask to just your nose. You can use a mask however you want so they’re totally convenient to do whether you just need a quick spot fix or a more intense treatment.

Cream masks are also excellent for sensitive skin types. A mask allows you to provide delicate exfoliation. Look for a cream mask that helps gently remove dead skin cells without irritation.

Clay masks

Clay masks use kaolin clay, a natural ingredient in soil. Kaolin clay is known for absorbing oil, for drawing out impurities and dirt that can make pores look more noticeable, and for removing dead skin cells. These masks might be targeted to oily t-zones or acne-prone skin, and may contain acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid. Salicylic Acid stimulates natural exfoliation to clear pore congestion.

For acne prone skin, to really help draw out impurities, look for a mask with ammonium bituminosulfonate. This ingredient is known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Clay masks help cleanse the skin from bacteria, leaving it clean, decongested and healthy.

Antioxidant Green Tea, Magnolia, Tea Tree, Cedar and Grapefruit can help control overactive oil production.

Hydrating masks

These soothe, nourish and, as their name implies are super-moisturizing. These are perfect for dry and dehydrated skin. Use a cream mask to help calm and restore a glowing complexion. Moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid and Shea butter along with vitamin E, mango seed butter, water lily extracts, sunflower seed oil and coconut oil make an ideal skin-smoothing treatment.

Firming and anti-aging masks

These masks deal with wrinkles and loss of firmness. There are many ingredients to instantly firm and lift. Golden seaweed restores skin resilience. Brazilian Fruit Extracts, if in a mask can promote collagen production to plump skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Use a mask with glycolic and salicylic acids to get rid of debris and exhausted cells are swept away to reveal youthful-looking skin while stimulating cell proliferation. Use a mask with Vitamin C to help even out skin pigment. This is great for hyperpigmentation (dark spots from sun damage). Vitamin A helps increase elasticity and moisture content

Seaweed masks

Seaweed masks can be used on a variety of skin types. These masks can provide detoxifying, oxygenating, re-balancing, hydrating, anti-aging and renewing benefits. They can also provide deep moisture, skin-brightening, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties depending on the type of seaweed. It also helps to protect the elastic fibers to help slow the signs of aging. There is truly a seaweed mask for every skin ailment.

How to Remove a Mask

Proper removal of a mask is important. Facial masks should be removed by splashing the face with clean water and then gently patting the face dry with a clean towel. You should never scrub off the mask with a washcloth, because this could cause damage to the delicate structure of the skin and add bacteria back to the skin.
