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!

“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.

You can purchase this product from Skin MD’s direct website, or places like Amazon or Walgreens. A full size bottle is 4 oz and has a retail value of $18. Right now Walgreens has it for $9.99, which is a much more affordable option. They also offer a Shielding Lotion with SPF 15 if you are looking for one with sun protection.
