Now that 2012 has wrapped up and we all have some time to sit back and reflect, we thought we'd revisit some of the biggest skin care trends of the last year. From anti-aging to acne management and treatment, new innovations and new products drove skin that gets Better Ever Day™. What was hot in skin care in 2012 and what timeless skin care classics can you expect to see around in the New Year? Murad reviews them all.
Skin Care Trend: Fading Dark Spots
While Murad has been providing a post-acne mark lightening gel and an age spot fading gel for years, this year fading dark spots on your skin became one of the most talked about skin care needs. Dark spots on your skin are typically caused by environmental damage and UV ray exposure but can also be the result of blemishes, and they require two steps to effectively fade away. The first step is to obtain a skin lightening agent. Murad Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel and Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum both use Hydroquinone, the strongest skin lightener that you can obtain without a prescription. The second step to effectively fading and removing dark spots on your skin is to use an exfoliating product to increase the speed of cell turnover in your skin so that the lighter skin cells make it to the surface more quickly.

Customer Review
"I absolutely love this product. I had a few age spots that I was very self conscious about. I spent thousands of dollars on expensive prescription creams and laser treatments with not much satisfaction. Since I started using this product 6 months ago, the spots have almost disappeared. Thank you!" firefox, Colorado
Skin Care Trend: Blemish Balms or Blemish Bases
For those with acne-prone skin, getting a perfected complexion by applying a blemish balm or blemish base beneath your makeup was a skin care trend and a makeup trend this year. Murad was out ahead of this trend as well, having released Murad Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer Acne and Shine Control over a year ago. This pre-makeup primer (though it can also be worn on its own) improves skin tone and skin healthy while also concealing blemishes and post-acne marks, minimizing shine and reducing the appearance of pores. More than makeup, it's Murad. And it's an ideal solution to improving acne-prone complexions.

"I’ve been using this for a week, and I love it! It’s easy to apply, spreads smoothly and looks natural on me. It doesn’t have that fake tan (orange) appearance. I would definitely recommend this to my friends." Magana, Texas
Classic Skin Trends That Never Go Out of Style
Much like with fashion and perfume, the classics never go out of style (they just make unfortunate advertising decisions – Chanel we're talking to you!). If you want to make sure that you have flawless, radiant skin, be sure to keep these permanent skin care trends in mind.
Always, ALWAYS, Use Sun Block! Nothing damages the skin faster and more permanently than UV rays. Whenever you're outside, be sure to use skin care and makeup products with SPF protection.
Eat Your Water. Healthy skin is hydrated skin, and hydration begins on the inside. Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables so that you're staying hydrated and your skin is staying healthy and glowing.
And, of course, the most consistent skin care trend is to take the time to take care of you. When you feel beautiful, it will show on your skin and in everything that you do.
