When it comes to skincare, there are new treatments, ingredients, regimens and more that are trending every day. But, just because the newness is taking over your Instagram feed and your favorite celebrity raves about it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the ideal skin solution for you. Enter Murad. As the first doctor-formulated line of dermatological products, Murad has long understood the need for both men and women to have access to scientifically advanced, yet safe skin care products.
We recently had the chance to sit down with the Senior Director of New Product Development from Murad, Kristen Robinson. Check out what she had to say about how your climate affects your skin, the skin concerns most common in her climate, and her #1 skin solutions:
- Question: How does the Southern California climate affect skin?
-
Answer:
“The SoCal climate provides little moisture for our skin with a steady helping of UV. The effects of which can equate to accelerated premature wrinkling and hyperpigmentation regardless of gender. As a major metropolitan city, LA’s sprawling urban environment brings with it an additional environmental skin aggressor in the form of air pollution further amplifying premature aging of skin.”
- Question: How are major skin concerns influenced by one’s climate?
-
Answer:
“Skin plays a critical and sophisticated role as a dynamic layer of protection and is responsive to our body’s external environment. Our body’s largest organ, skin’s main function is to protect us and maintain critical factors within and on our body, such as temperature regulation, protection from moisture loss, and defense from pathogens. As a direct interface with the environment, skin serves as our first line of defense from external factors.”
