Murad Cellular Hydration Repair

Winter is in full swing and the greasy skincare products are coming out again. Because when it’s cold, snowing or the temperatures go slightly below zero degrees Celsius, a greasy cream (preferably with petroleum jelly or kerosene) is all you need. At least, according to many skincare gurus, influencers and dermatologists. And yet, to put it mildly, I disagree with this. I like to explain…

The skin consists largely (like the rest of the body) of water. In addition to moisture, the skin consists of proteins and fats and also contains many vitamins, minerals and other microorganisms such as bacteria (yes, you read it right). These ensure a good resistance of the skin. The skin is an organ with a clear function: protection. And if that function does not work properly, it can cause problems such as skin problems, accelerated skin aging or, in time, even skin diseases.

Did you know that we have a lot of influence on this protective skin function? And yes, that is of course great when it comes to skin improvement and anti-aging, but did you know that too often there is influence on the skin in the negative sense? Over-intensive treatments, uncontrolled peels, over-scented products or the use of improper skincare products disrupt the skin barrier with unwanted consequences. Add to that the winter weather and a layer of greasy cream (or even Vaseline) is the only thing that makes your skin feel comfortable. Now that you know that your skin consists mainly of moisture and that a disrupted skin barrier is the main cause of skin problems, you know that moisturizing your skin is necessary. Once this is in order, the skin barrier will recover more quickly. And for that there are modern active ingredients that resemble your skin’s own sebum.

So with a smart approach, you kill two birds with one stone, just as American skincare brand Murad does with their new Cellular Hydration Repair line. Those who are smart read on…

First things first

Poor skin moisture is poorly functioning skin. Those who want to do something about it use a high-quality moisturizer. Murad’s Cellular Hydration Repair line chooses hydrating ingredients of the highest level: Hibiscus extract, hyaluronic acid and Allantoin. These star ingredients replenish the short- and long-term moisture deficit and also ensure optimal moisture retention in the skin, preventing a future feeling of skin tightness.

And last but not least:

Blueberry seed extract oil for feeling satiated. And that too in the short and long term. This oil, rich in Omega 3 and 6, provides the skin with fats similar to skin’s own fats so that, first, it is easily absorbed and saturates the skin, and second, it creates a comfortable layer on the skin so that moisture stays where it belongs: in the skin. Because Omega 3 and 6 is recognized by the body as endogenous, it draws into the skin and does not seal the skin. And with that, we have immediately answered the question of why the thick, oily vaseline- and paraffin-based creams are not suitable for daily use.

The Murad brand has chosen to complement existing Murad skincare routines by launching 3 highlights that fit into any program. Whether temporarily in winter, or at any other time, the Cellular Hydration Repair products aim to perfect moisture levels and restore the skin barrier. The result is radiant, hydrated and comfortable skin without itching or tightness. Just one of these products can significantly improve your skin, and for demanding dry skin, all three are highly recommended!

Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Serum

Ideal for oily or combination skin with dry areas or a poor skin barrier. The thin product is instantly absorbed and leaves no greasy residue. The product is also an outlier when it comes to the recovery phase after intensive peelings or laser treatments, for example. Hyaluronic acid ensures optimal moisture balance and the restorative effect on the skin barrier is due to Blueberry seed extract oil. We may not say it, of course, but it is a kind of recovery for demanding skin.

Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Cream

Do you also like a comfortable and generous spread when it comes to a cream? Many other people do as well. Forewarned is forearmed: Smearing your skin with heavy fats will not get you anywhere, so if you want a comfortable feeling with a positive effect on your skin, this product is recommended. Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Cream instantly restores all moisture and lipid ratios and goes to fight dry, tight skin with possible peeling. Various plant extracts suppress sensitivity, moisture levels are instantly restored by Allantoin and Blueberry seed extract oil gives the skin extreme comfort.

Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Mask

This product will become your faithful partner in bed. Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Mask is a nighttime sleep over mask that hydrates, nourishes and repairs your skin while you sleep. A note here though: as blissful as the product is: a minimal amount is sufficient because applying it thicker than your night cream makes no sense. Two to three times a week will give your skin just that little extra something that will in a short time take away the dry, tight feeling and extreme redness. Once again, Blueberry seed extract oil plays the leading role in the most perfect collaboration with Hibiscus and Canadian willowherb extract. Tip: also perfect for on the hands!
