Murad skincare line announced that they have been named the Official Skincare Partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 2012 baseball season. Murad will be providing skincare tips and sun protection advice along with product for the baseball team’s players and fans with special giveaways and promotions during all daytime home games throughout the 2012 regular season. Through this partnership, Murad will also provide the club’s fans and team members with important information on preventing sun damage.
“As an avid Dodger fan, it is a privilege to partner with this legendary baseball team to provide education on ways to protect against sun damage, and the importance of health and wellness, both internally and externally,” said Dr. Murad. “Many people view skincare as simply cosmetic. My hope is that through this partnership, we will be able to further change the way people view skincare, helping fans to realize that your skin really is an overall reflection of the state of your health and that sun protection is an essential component of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”
Murad has also been named the presenting sponsor of the Mother’s Day home game on May 13, 2012. During this game, Murad and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be giving away tote bags with a special Murad offer to the first 20,000 fans. www.murad,com
