Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion: Review & Giveaway! Ends 12/16 CLOSED

I was recently offered the opportunity to review Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion for face, body, and hands. This opportunity really couldn’t have come at a better time! The Colorado weather had turned cold and dry, and my skin had been suffering as a result. I have pretty normal skin, but it does tend to dry out very quickly. Not to the point of bleeding or cracking, but just dry enough to hurt. With the constant hand-washing that I am already doing from changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, etc. I have found that my hands become even more dry and irritable in the Fall/Winter. Thankfully, the Shielding Lotion has become the perfect fix for that!

When I received the lotion to review, I decided that I would use it only on my hands, even though it can be used on your face and body as well. This decision was based on the fact that I already have a good skin care regimen for my face, and wanted to use the lotion on a concentrated area that I would be able to focus on to see results.
The lotion has a light, pleasant scent, absorbs quickly, and is considerably lightweight. At first I thought that it wouldn’t be effective, because it didn’t seem “thick enough” for my dry hands. I am used to needing something thick and heavy to provide enough moisture. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the lotion is still quite effective even with it being lightweight. After applying it I can feel the moisture lock in and have a “shielding” effect. It truly feels like a protective layer has been applied. I can tell that the lotion is doing its job to protect my hands until the next time I wash them and need to reapply.I have been using the Shielding Lotion now for about 2 weeks, and can honestly say that I have noticed a considerable difference in the feel and appearance of my hands. They are soft, smooth, and not dry at all! I would highly recommend this lotion to anyone who frequently washes his or her hands, or is prone to skin ailments.

Why Does it Work?

“A conventional lotion is not formulated to protect the skin like a shielding lotion does. Conventional lotions only add surface moisture to temporarily alleviate the dryness or itching. Shielding lotions are an effective dry skin treatment because they bond with the skin and protect it for long periods of time. With this protection in place your skin keeps its own moisture in and has a chance to use this natural moisture in the deep layers of the skin to heal itself.” -Dr. Lisa Benest, Board Certified Dermatologist. Read more about the specific process and see pictures of how it works here.
