Look at the gorgeous texture of the Murad Intense Recovery Cream which is out new this year. This is a thick balm – you can tell from where I dug some out – that melts into a creamy oil that feels so nourishing and comfortable on your skin.
Now because I grew up with oily skin, I’ve never really been a heavy moisturizer type person, and it turns out that I still can’t use this everyday, but wow, does it every feel good on my skin after wearing a mask all day.
Anything with “intense” in the name seems like something I would use at night time, but I have been enjoying this during the day too because it’s protecting my skin from getting too dry. I use it at night a couple of times a week and really like doing that too.
Key ingredients include Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil for moisturizing, and microalgae extract to help calm the skin. What’s really great about is the uber-thick texture – it just stays on your skin instead of just absorbing or evaporating, so apply this after you hydrate to seal everything in.
Available online or at Sephora stores. $109 from Murad skincare or $104 at Sephora.
