Murad Skincare: Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture Review & Giveaway!

As many of you know I like to keep my skin and hair moisturized, radiant and noticeably healthy so recently I have added a few new items to my daily beauty routine. Murad skincare has gained well deserved popularity for their excellent range of products, quality ingredients and effective formulas and whether you have oily, normal combination, dry or sensitive skin there are potent formulas to soothe, nourish and rejuvenate.

If your face craves a regenerating complexion boost the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisturizer is a savior for dehydrated, flaky skin. In the summer I tend to fluctuate between oily and dry which can be a delicate balancing act when it comes to products. One thing that remains constant is my need for hydration, especially at night when I can apply the treatments heavier and let my skin recoup during beauty sleep. No matter what skin type you have a great moisturizer is essential!

The Hydro-Dynamic Age Reform is sumptuously rich, non-greasy, intensely hydrating and velvety smooth. Although I do have many creams this one stands out because it dramatically improves my skin’s moisture retention and locks it in for 8 hours! Even after face washing which tends to diminish the effects of most products this formula continues to keep dryness at bay for youthful, healthy looking skin. After thoroughly covering my face I like to rub the leftover into my hands, nails and cuticles to keep my summer mani looking sharp! 

I usually apply the cream to my face and neck at night and it provides instant relief of tightness caused by cleansers. It also restores resiliency, improves skin tone, supports collagen and plumps with the infusion of avocado, sunflower, shea butter, oat, amino acids and fruit oils. During the day you can layer it more sparing and pair it with broad-spectrum sunscreen for more protection. It swiftly abolishes peeling, dry patches and roughness while keeping skin supple, smooth and shine-free under makeup. The moisturizer retails for $72.00.

Cute summer dresses, skirts and backless tops have now emerged from winter hibernation and showing a little more skin calls for the High Performance Bodycare Youth Builder Collection. 

It all starts in the shower with an invigorating, fluffy lather of Detoxifying White Clay Cleanser. This non-drying, lush formula is enriched with safflower oil, sunflower, ginger root and amino acids that stimulates circulation and leaves skin smooth, refreshed and hydrated. The scent is calmingly pleasant and just a small swirl on a bath puff produces a luxurious abundance of foaming bubbles that clean and condition.

The Firming Peptide Body Treatment begins as a smooth cream that transforms into a light oil as you massage it into damp or dry skin. I love that the formula highlights my arms and legs for a beautiful summer glow and it feel lightweight, hydrating and non-greasy. The oil makes my skin appear luminous and healthy with wonderful reparative effects for dry feet, heels and cuticles.

The kit I have is travel friendly and you can purchase Murad products at Sephora and Muradcanada.com.
