Winter is harsh on delicate skin like mine. As soon as autumn hits, my hands begin to crack and chap. One thing I’ve reached for often both last winter and this is Skin MD Natural.
Skin MD Natural skin care products that are a bit different than conventional moisturizing lotions. Skin MD Natural lotions are “shielding lotions,” meaning that they bond with and protect the stratum corneum (top layer of the skin)…from the cold air, the wind, harmful chemicals, even occasional contact with water. Shielding lotions enhance the body’s natural abilities to protect. Think of it as an “invisible hydrating” barrier.
At first I was surprised that Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion wasn’t incredibly thick, but I soon came to notice that it covers extremely well and takes very little to cover an area of irritated skin. It is effective for reducing the discomfort from a variety of skin problems and complaints.
What I love about Skin MD Natural is that they stand up to the claim in their name. They don’t do animal testing or use animal products, their lotions are paraben free, hypoallergenic, and are fragrance and colorant free. (A detailed list and descriptions of Skin MD Natural lotions can be found here.)
You can use Skin MD Natural on the face, hands, or body. It also comes in a version with a sunblock additive (SPF 15). I keep my bottle right on the side of the kitchen sink; it’s what I reach for first after cleaning up each family meal or coming in from outdoors. My hands are so grateful!
This year, why not give the gift of healthy, beautiful, silky-smooth skin….naturally….with Skin MD Natural products. You can order Skin MD Natural directly from their website for $18 a bottle. (They are also running a few Christmas specials right now on multi/gift packs.) You can also use their handy store locator to find a retailer near you who carries their great products.
Win it! Thanks to Skin MD Natural, one of you will win a bottle of the original Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion! Just stop by the Skin MD Natural website and look around a bit….then tell me, in a comment below, something you learned or something that you read to make you want to try their lotions even more! I’ll close the contest next Saturday, December 12th, 2009 at 11pm EST. Open to US, Canadian, and international addresses. Good luck!
CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
Congratulations to commenter #10, Julie L, the winner of the Skin MD lotion!

I like how irritants are kept out at the same time as moisture being maintained. Looks like a great product!

I am glad to have a chance to win this. I am pleased to read the ingredients are natural. As a construction worker iam pleased to read about this. I get into the elements and either have dryed or cracked hands. Especially in the cold months.

the idea that a lotion has a moisturizing ingredient that doesn’t include glycerin is interesting – i love that it creates a wall between skin and the harsh elements – my hubbies dry skin would really appreciate this stuff!

I like that Skin MD acts as a barrier to keep the irritants out.

I read that “Unlike the conventional face cream used as a moisturizing lotion, Skin MD Natural doesn’t disguise dry skin and signs of aging. It provides a solution that works.” That makes me want to give it a try! I’ve had a hard time finding a facial moisturizer worth using.

They have great psoriasis info – Keeping the skin well hydrated will help to reduce redness and itching and helps the skin to heal.

It mentions that eczema can not be cured but that their Ultimate Dry Skin Care Solution is helpful for the condition
