Two weeks ago, I attended a cocktail reception at the St. Regis Hotel for a select group of beauty bloggers to meet famed Dermatologist, Dr. Howard Murad. His highly potent, yet always gentle skin care products, address every conceivable skincare woe and I have yet to be disappointed. They always do just what they say they will...Hallelujah!
Dr. Murad is utterly charming, and it is evident that is very lucky patients are seen by someone who is paying attention to every fiber of their being---not just their dermis.
We were treated to an overview of his philosophies on what we can best do to combat not just wrinkles, but the daily stresses that often consume our lives. Also, a few mini biology lessons on cellular aging.
Over the years, he has devised a set of daily aphormisms that he has shared with his patients like: "Be thrilled with who you are--the reality of who you are!" "Have big flexible dreams with no limits, so your potential will have not limits!" And the seemingly simple but intelligent: "Surround yourself with happiness."
Judging by his enthusiam and robust appearance, I have no doubt he takes a spoonful of his own medicine each day.
I am happy to share a synopsis of what we learned, gleaned from his book The Water Secret The Cellular Breakthrough to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger.
(Naturally, we left with hefty goodie bags and I will tell you about two terrific products tomorrow...One of them is a Holy Grail!)
