Tips for Expanding Your Skin Care Routine from a Three-Step Regimen

So, you've been happy with your three-step skin care regimen. It really is true that you can get healthy, glowing skin that's better every day by using the Murad three-step approach of Cleanse | Tone, Treat | Repair, Hydrate | Protect. However, at some point, you may want to expand your skin care routine to treat specific areas that require a little extra attention or even pamper yourself with a home facial (because you deserve it). What should you keep in mind when changing up your skin care routine or expanding your three-step regimen? Here are some tips from Murad.

Start by Identifying Areas of Your Skin That You'd Like to Improve
Of course, the first step is to identify any areas of your skin that you'd like to improve. Are you happy with your skin overall but are starting to notice fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes? Then the obvious direction is for you to add an eye cream or eye treatment to your regimen. Are you using a three-step regimen that's designed for wrinkle treatment, but when you look at your complexion you notice dark spots or age spots? Then you may want to consider a lightening gel or serum. While three-step regimens are a great way to keep your skin healthy, they're designed to target specific skin concerns. You may have additional skin concerns that you need to target. Incorporating an another treatment product into your routine is the perfect way to address multiple skin concerns.

A great place to start is with the Murad Personalized Skin Care Evaluation, It can give you feedback on specific products for your individual concerns.

Pamper Yourself With a Luxurious or Even Relaxing Addition to Your Skin Care Regimen
Face masks and home facials are a great weekly addition to your skin care regimen that can be relaxing and fun. A face mask or home facial is typically done only once or twice a week, so you're not adding a lot of time to your typical skin care routine. Face masks and home facials are also a way to pamper yourself at home or find some time to relax and de-stress. Another great add-on to a three step regimen is a luxury product like Murad Active Radiance® Serum. Choose a product that will make you feel like you're treating yourself to something special when you use them. Then get them out of the medicine cabinet and indulge in extra-special skin care when you need a boost or to simply remind yourself that you deserve it.

Customer Review
"I started using this mask a few years ago and everytime I have the same reaction–Amazing! I love the way it makes my face feel, so refreshed and clean. It clears away the small blackheads around my nose as well. I highly recommend giving this product a try, you won’t be sorry!" all4murad, New York

Stock Up on Sample-Size and Travel-Size Products
Another way to try an extra add-on to your skin care regimen is to stock up on sample-size or travel-size skin care products. Of course, you want to be careful and follow our tips for using skin care samples, but by purchasing smaller one-off versions of skin care products, you can explore what will really be a good addition to your skin care regimen. Try a product that you never considered trying before. When you're using a smaller size purchase, there's nothing stopping you from trying anything you want and then deciding later what the best additions to your skin care regimen should be.

"This is the best anti-aging skincare. I love all of the benefits this has to offer. And the skin lightening gel really does work. I have used most of the skin-care lines in the dept. stores and this is the simplest and most effective one yet!" gabulldog, Georgia

Change and experimentation are good for the soul. A three-step skin care regimen is an ideal way to get healthy, glowing skin, but be open to expanding and trying new things in addition to your three-step skin care solution.
