How to Extend the Benefits of Cold Plunges with the New Retinal Resculpt Body Treatment

Cold plunges have taken the wellness world by storm, with their ability to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. But what if you could take those benefits a step further and maximise them for firmer, more sculpted skin? Enter Murad’s new Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment, a powerful formula designed to support skin rejuvenation and body contouring. Whether you’re a cold therapy enthusiast or just dipping your toes in, here’s how you can extend the benefits of a plunge with this groundbreaking body treatment.

 

The Science Behind Cold Plunges and Skin Health

Cold plunges aren’t just for athletes and wellness enthusiasts—they offer serious skin benefits, too. When you expose your body to cold water, blood vessels constrict and then rapidly dilate upon warming up, increasing circulation and oxygen flow to the skin. This process can help flush out toxins, reduce puffiness, and even enhance skin firmness over time. However, the benefits are temporary, and without the right skincare routine, skin can become dehydrated or miss out on long-term firming effects.

 

Why Retinal ReSculpt is the Perfect Post-Plunge Partner

Murad’s Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment is formulated with retinal—one of the most potent and transformative forms of vitamin A—to visibly firm, smooth, and rejuvenate skin while you sleep. Here’s why it’s the ideal companion to your cold plunge routine:

• Boosts Firmness & Elasticity: Retinal works deep within the skin to support collagen production, helping to counteract the loss of elasticity that occurs with age.
• Targets Cellulite & Crepey Skin: Cold therapy temporarily tightens the skin, but Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment goes further by visibly improving the appearance of cellulite and crepey skin with consistent use.
• Enhances Skin Renewal: Just as cold plunges promote circulation, retinal accelerates cellular turnover, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.
• Deep Hydration & Barrier Support: Cold exposure can sometimes leave skin feeling dry. Murad’s formula includes moisturising ingredients to replenish and strengthen the skin barrier, ensuring long-lasting hydration.

 

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Murad’s Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment is powered by clinically proven ingredients designed to transform the look and feel of your skin:

• Encapsulated Retinal (Retinaldehyde): Delivers potent vitamin A (2.5x more*) deeper into the skin for more effective results with minimised irritation.
• Milk Thistle + Bearberry Extracts: Inspired by exerkines (molecules released during exercise) to enhance skin smoothness and tone.
• Bentonite Clay-Encapsulated Shea Butter and Avocado Extract: Smooths to help improve the look of cellulite, dimpled skin, and stretch marks.
• Squalane: Prevents moisture loss while restoring skin’s suppleness.
• Non-Greasy, Fast-Absorbing Formula: The satiny-smooth cream skins in quickly without sticky after-feel designed for easy application.

 

How to Incorporate Retinal ReSculpt into Your Cold Therapy Routine

To make the most of your cold plunges and lock in lasting results, follow this simple post-plunge routine:

1. Pat Skin Dry (Don’t Rub!) – After emerging from the cold, gently pat your skin dry with a towel to avoid irritation.
2. Massage in Upward Motions – Take a few extra moments to massage the treatment into the skin, stimulating circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage.
3. Follow with a Hydrating Body Lotion if Needed – If your skin feels extra dry, layer with a lightweight body moisturiser to seal in hydration.
4. Get a Good Night’s Sleep – Retinal works best overnight, so allow your body time to fully absorb and benefit from the treatment.

 

Cold plunges provide an instant boost, but pairing them with the right skincare can lead to lasting improvements in skin firmness and texture. Murad’s Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment enhances and extends the benefits of cold therapy, helping you achieve smoother, more sculpted skin over time. So, whether you're plunging for recovery, resilience, or just a refreshing start to your day, don’t forget to follow up with this next-level body treatment for the ultimate glow.
