Dr. Murad: The conclusion that I came to in my book is that, no matter what the causes of aging are, the end result is that there's a loss of water in the cells and connective tissue. And the eight glasses of water a day rule doesn't apply, since we are not using the water, our bodies just flush it out. And as we get older, our bodies lose more and more water.

Dr. Murad: I have created a daily supplement called Wet Suit® Hydrating Supplement* that reduces water loss and actually uses water to reduce wrinkles and increase the skin's elasticity. When used in with Youth Builder® Supplement you can address skin aging the Internal way, as you also apply your topical Murad regimen.

Dr. Murad: I talk about the concept of inclusive health™. By this I mean that the brain has a huge effect on how the skin functions. There are factors that go beyond what traditionally is thought of in medicine. Massage, aromatherapy, and exercise are all great ways to relieve stress and heal your skin externally. Isolation is a major cause of illness and skin disorders. It's really important to have a healthy social life and strong human interactions.

Dr. Murad: In the book, I also list topical ingredients for people to look for in products that are specific to their skin type. Whether someone has acne, city-skin, combination skin, or is menopausal, they can find the ingredients that work best for them. For example, pomegranate extract as found in the Pomphenol Sunguard Supplement improves the effectiveness of sunscreen by 25%, so in the book there's a list of many different products, including my own, that use it.

Dr. Murad: All the techniques I go over in my book are not only unique and easy to follow, but they are also scientifically proven. So everyone from the layman to aestheticians to other dermatologists will take away new information after reading it.
