Does anyone really ever listen to their doctor’s advice? I mean honestly, an apple a day? That’s just boring.
But when skincare innovator Dr. Howard Murad speaks, people listen.
In fact, funny story. I recently had the honor of interviewing Dr. Murad for an article in LiveSpa Magazine. I told myself before I dialed his office number that I’d stick strictly to my question list. Yet somewhere along the line during our thoroughly engaging conversation, I heard myself ask him about my own skincare woes. He was so totally gracious and then he gave me his top secret solution to healthy, ageless skin: “Eat your water.” Rather than chugging enormous amounts of tasteless H2O every day, he suggests eating juicy fruits and vegetables throughout the day that not only hydrate but are also loaded with vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants.
In other words, eat an apple.
Always on the cutting-edge of practical, transformational skincare solutions, here are five breakthroughs from Murad’s most wanted files.

I mix a dab of this in with my regular foundation on days I want more coverage. Reward: A buildable, illuminating glow that restores smooth, even skin tone. Bounty: $38 (and worth every cent IMHO!)
