Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review & Giveaway CLOSED

1:02 PM | Posted by Elana Kahn | Edit Post

CLOSED

I have very sensitive skin. In the winter time it gets very dry and cracked. In the summer time I never tan - it's either pasty white or a burn, so I just stay out of the sun entirely. I'm really bad about putting on lotions because I generally don't like the smell or the feel. Most lotions are greasy and only keep my skin moisturized for a very short time.

"Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is formulated to be far more effective than mere moisturizing lotions or protective creams while utilizing mostly natural ingredients. Seven years of research and development and 741 test batches resulted in a new proprietary blend of "super" humectants six times more effective than the industry standard, glycerin, at hydrating skin....Skin MD Natural is most often able to effectively treat the toughest dry skin and help resolve hard to handle skin conditions such as eczema."

My Take
The first thing I noticed about the Skin MD lotion is that it's more watery than creamy. I like that! It's not greasy, left no residue on my skin and was absorbed very quickly. After the very first application I noticed that my hands immediately felt smoother and well moisturized. The lotion also has a neutral lotiony smell which is mostly unnoticeable once it's absorbed into the skin (unless you stick your hand up to your nose and breathe in heavily).

I also love how Skin MD Natural is manufactured in the USA using 100% solar power, is free of animal products and animal testing. It is also made of a blend of natural ingredients without any harsh fragrances or other potentially toxic ingredients.

The bottom line is that the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is eco-friendly and treats the problem underlying dry skin rather than just replacing your body's natural moisturizer with artificial moisturizer. It also comes in an SPF 15 version for use as a moisturizing sunscreen.

Cost: You can buy Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion (Original Formula, 4oz Bottle) for $18.00 + shipping. ($$$$)

Overall: We give Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion a 9.5/10!

One very lucky reader will win a 4oz bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion!

jill24295 said...: I learned 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.
