			In his new book, Howard Murad, M.D., has designed a plan that rejuvenates and repairs skin in just five weeks. Dr. Murad shares the important factors that go into achieving a lifetime of gorgeous skin in this Q & A.
	Q. Your new book credits water as playing a huge role in antiaging. Why?
		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.
	Q: How can this problem be solved?
		Dr. Murad: I have created a daily supplement called Murad Wet Suit Cell Hydrating Supplement* that reduces water loss and actually uses water to reduce wrinkles and increase the skin's elasticity. When used in with Murad Youth Builder, you can address skin aging the Internal way, as you also apply your topical Murad regimen. *Look for Wet Suit coming April 1, 2003!
	Q: What are some of the other skin care methods you address in your book?
		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.
	Q: Besides your water supplements, what are some other ways to protect the skin?
		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 Murad Pomephenol 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.
	Q: Who will benefit most by reading your book?
		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.
