About: Skin MD Natural Shielding lotion was developed as a double duty lotion that restores the skin's ability to retain hydration while acting as a barrier to chemicals and environmental contaminants. The lotion can be used on face, hand, and body and is free of parabens. You can see the list of ingredients on the Skin MD website.
Price: $18 for 4 oz bottle (lasts about 1.5 months)
Usage Period: 3 weeks
Thoughts + Before & After:
The freezing cold is taking a toll on my hands, you can see that that they're VERY dry. The Skin MD lotion is light weight but very hydrating and absorbs easily. The texture is smooth and non-sticky.
After a few minutes you can noticeably see the difference, the skin on my hand is smoother, less red, and soft to touch. In the beginning you'll have to reapply a few times throughout the day to help restore your skin. After a while, your skin should be able to retain hydration better leading to less applications.What really got me was seeing the lotion workin' it on my eczema! I have a mild case of chronic eczema on my arm and its been keeping it at bay. This is great since steroid creams can be so harmful.

The lotion looks amazing. I'm going to check it out. I have mild eczema too. Thanks for sharing:) Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteGreat before and after pics M. I like the fact that it works on eczema too :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I gotta check this out. BTW, thank you so much for posting the info about the sample sale. I went yesterday and picked up some great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I have super dry skin on my body, which is weird cuz my face is an oil slick! LOL! I like the St. Ives Whipped silk lotion for my hands, but my HG hand creme is the L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand creme!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good, I have eczema too and my skin can get really dry and irritated in the winter!
ReplyDeleteThere's another one of these shielding lotions called "Gloves in a bottle" which I was looking into before. Don't know how that compares to this.
oooh this lotion sounds pretty awesome! my current lotion thick and doesn't absorb well, but this sounds just about right for me :) thanks for the review!
ReplyDelete@DiWiMakeup that's awesome! ;D
ReplyDelete@Hels cooler weather can be hell for eczema! I'm thankful that this has been keeping my eczema in check
ReplyDeleteI have never tried this cream, but it sounds really nice- I may give it a try. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI suggest trying Spectro eczema care intense hydration cream (it is steroid free, and sold at drugstores). It is fabulous for dry hands, mild eczema and any other areas with dry skin! It is non-oily and hasn't caused me to break out.
