For centuries, people across the world have been trying to prevent aging. Ponce de Leon, one of the sailors who traveled with Christopher Columbus, heard many stories about a magical water source that would keep people young and went on a voyage in search of it. Though he never found the “Fountain of Youth,” modern science shows us that water—in the form of hydrated cells—may indeed hold the key to age prevention.

Fending off water lossToday we know more about Intrinsic Aging, the natural aging process, than ever. Scientific research has uncovered evidence that shows that aging and age-related diseases begin at the cellular level. Regardless of the cause of this aging or disease, the one common pathway is that there is less water in the cells.

Prevent aging at the cellular levelThe aging signs you see in the mirror are a reflection of events taking place on a microscopic level within your cells. If you want to minimize the signs of aging, you need to supply your cells with

the necessary building blocks. These include proteins or amino acids, Essential Fatty Acids, Lecithin, Vitamins B and C and trace minerals. All of these nutrients help hydrate the cells and keep their defenses strong.

Water holds the key to age preventionAll Murad topical treatments and internal supplements are based on The Water Principle®, a scientifically proven philosophy that keeps cells hydrated and improves barrier function with ingredients that keep your defenses strong. Ponce de Leon may not have found the Fountain of Youth he was looking for, but science has shown us that by following a diet rich in hydrating fruits and vegetables, and by incorporating The Water Principle® into your life, you can achieve healthier, hydrated younger-looking skin and turn back the hands of time.
