MURAD SKIN CARE

Anti-aging is one of the most important concerns women have about their skin. Being, feeling and looking young and vibrant is everyone’s goal.

Dr. Murad is going to help you reach that goal. He is continuing to develop new and improved skin care products with the latest technology and the ingredients to fight aging.

Dr. Murad is one of the country’s foremost authorities on skincare. He has devoted his life to the science of internal and external skincare. Dr. Murad is a board certified dermatologist, pharmacist, and a professor of dermatology. He has over 50,000 patients. Treating all of these people and their skin has inspired Dr. Murad to develop his own skincare products so that he could help even more people.

On the surface, fresh youthful skin is the result of healthy functioning cells that are being continually created in the lower layers of the skin. In our youth, these cells turn over and replicate approximately every 28-35 days. As we age, this process naturally begins to slow, occurring only every 60-90 days. This leads to a buildup of non-functioning cells resulting in dry rough skin, uneven texture and tone, fine lines and wrinkles. Internally visible signs of aging are also evident as the effects of this aging process occur in the dermis. Skin loses volume as collagen and elastin fibers become thinner and less pliable. Cells begin to lose precious water leading to aging throughout the skin and body, and medium to deep wrinkles begin to appear.

Dr. Murad has the solution. He developed the products to target normal aging. Dramatic results are achieved when the products are incorporated into your normal everyday skincare routine after cleansing and before moisturizing.

Day Reform Treatment returns skin to a younger looking state in one day by encouraging healthy cell turnover while forming a protective shield to prevent aging damage.



Night Reform Treatment exfoliates and rejuvenates skin overnight, increasing firmness by 28% and improving texture and elasticity.

Eye Treatment Complex SPF8 smoothes lines and skin texture to restore youthfulness to the aging eye area.

Dr. Murad has products to address every skin care concern, from acne to wrinkles. All of the products are easy to use and are guaranteed to show results.

Nickel Skin Care for Men

A man created Nickel skin care, specifically for men’s skin. All the products are straight forward and no nonsense. Nickel was created in 1996 around a very simple idea. Men need skin care, too. The first spa for men only was opened in Paris to offer beauty treatments like facials, waxing, manicures and pedicures. Nickel was then developed to back up these spa treatments. In 2007, Nickel opened its fifth spa. Nickel Spa Locations include New York, San Francisco, and London.

In order to convince a man to buy skin care, Nickel created its products with clear evidence that they actually work. Each product gives immediate visible results and strong sensations to the skin. A man’s skin is thicker and is subjected to more environmental damage than a woman’s. Sports, travel, shaving, and partying are all factors that affect a man’s skin. All Nickel products contain a higher percentage of active ingredients than women’s skin care to combat these outside forces. Tensor agents, fruit acids, vitamin blends, and oligo-elements, are a few of the upgraded ingredients.

The most popular product in the line is the Morning After Rescue Gel. It is a gel that brings delicate skin back to life after a long night out. It has an instant firming effect. It conditions and stimulates skin on mornings when waking up is tough. A “must-have” favorite for all models, celebrities, and night clubbers.

The Eye Contour Lift rescues the most tired eyes. This ultra light gel instantly decongests puffy eyes, dark circles, and wrinkles using wheat and soy proteins.

The Silicon Valley Wrinkles Equalizer is a high-tech treatment to fight ageing. The silica Equalizer enriched texture gives immediate softness and the patented vitamin E/F complex provides a visible firming effect.

Another popular item is the Super Clean Scrubbing Gel. It eliminates impurities and dead skin cells. It revitalizes the skin. The Super Clean body scrub is gentle enough to use every day.

The Smooth Operator Shaving Gel is the first shaving gel for every type of skin and beard. This gel turns into a ultra-protective foam that leaves the skin super soft. Ginger extract makes the toughest beard stand up and salute.

Fire Insurance After Shave Balm calms and soothes skin while moisturizing and protecting it from razor cuts. Its microsphere formula leaves skin exceptionally soft to the touch.

All Nickel products are made to the highest standards using the most concentrated form of all its ingredients. Nickel is the ultimate male grooming product line.

Buy Antique Or Designed Vanities

When it comes to buy an antique bathroom vanity you have to think if it will be a good or bad acquisition. Don’t shop for everything you see because you think it’s an antique. If you want a quality vanity make sure to pick it by its age, price, design and functionality.
An antique bathroom vanity usually presents some doubts. You don’t know what to do. Should you buy a real antique one or an antique design? People who don’t know a thing about antiquities don’t know the difference between them, having the idea that they are all the same. It is true indeed that they both have different qualities. When you go shopping for an antique bathroom vanity, to make the difference between a real and designed one you have to check its authenticity and price.
Some times, most of those authentic vanities can rise in price and that is the main indicator for a genuine one. A good antique bathroom vanity is made from mahogany, cherry or oak and people purchase them because these types of wood are known to last a very long time. If you treat your antique bathroom vanity properly, it is sure to last another generation. With a little wood sealant you can keep that precious wood away from water or moisture that could cause damages.
The price varies between a genuine antique bathroom vanity and its authentic counterpart. The price is fixed depending on its size, design or type of wood used. For manufacturers to sell their antique design counterparts, they make them appear old so that they reflect the passing of years also using the same type of wood. This are tricks to make vanities look authentic, but they are not.
Many people purchase them even dough they know they are not authentic. Why? Because they can purchase them brand new! They look exactly like antique bathroom vanities by having elaborated designs. Only one thing is missing, the tear and wear.
