Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review and Giveaway
I was pleased when a representative at Skin MD Natural contacted me about trying their Shielding Lotion. Today I'm happy to tell you about this product and give you a chance to win it.
What is shielding lotion?
A shielding lotion keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary 'super' humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day. Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.
And shielding lotion allows the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better.
Why do we need this product?
There are thousands of skin irritants in our modern environment that didn't exist only 50 years ago. These irritants can strip the protective barrier off your skin causing dry skin, eczema and other skin problems. These changes in our environment have brought about the need for a new type of dry skin care solution – a shielding lotion.
Shampoos, antibacterial soaps, cosmetics, fragrances, colorants and other irritants bombard and penetrate the skin. These harsh chemicals and irritants can break down the skin's natural protective ability. Some strip away moisture, while others lodge in the pores where they cause irritation and other negative reactions.
Unfortunately, traditional lotions have one basic goal - to simply make up for the moisture that our bodies are losing by adding an external source of moisture. Many common household products and even soaps are absorbed directly into your skin, causing skin disorders or just plain dry cracked skin. Also, when participating in other activities from gardening to painting, furniture restoration to fishing, or exposure to harsh weather, you are further drying and irritating your skin.
What did you like about this product?
I love that it's a natural product. And the fact that it's unscented makes it suitable for you to use at any time. The fact that it's natural and unscented also makes an ideal product for allergy sufferers and for those who live with allergy sufferers. I was also pleased to find that you can use it as a base for makeup and protect your skin against the chemicals in the make-up. This is an excellent product that I would recommend to all who want to moisturize and protect their skin.
One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. This is an $18 value.
Giveaway Closed. Thanks for entering!

I learned that "the proprietary formulation in Skin MD Natural has a moisturizing factor of at least 6 times greater than glycerin." I also like that it lists aloe as one of the ingredients!

Despite its shielding effect Skin MD Natural doesn't prevent the skin from breathing, it actually improves it by keeping the skin pores from being clogged with outside irritants that are often too complex to be eliminated naturally.

I learned that light therapy can help psoriasis--my mom suffers from that, unfortunately.

I learned that The primary function of the outer layer of skin is to prevent irritants from penetrating while still allowing the skin to breathe!

I learned that Skin MD is 6 times as moisturizing as glycerin. This would be awesome on the eczema and "alligator arms" that run in my family:)

Although Skin MD markets itself to only be a bit over 93% "natural," it is still considered to be very good as the other 7% account for ingredients that food or medical grade and on FDA's most safe list. In fact, Skin MD claims to have the most transparent ingredient disclosure in the industry.

I learned shielding Lotion is far more effective as a dry skin treatment than conventional moisturizing lotions.

I learn that " Dry skin and itchy skin are nature's way of warning you that the protective elements of your outer layer of skin have been stripped away.
At October 31, 2009 at 4:23 PM , kk said...
Most soaps and cleansers contain fragrances, colorants, antibacterial agents and many other ingredients that strip away these protective elements of the outer layer of skin. Thanks!
