Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion: Review and Giveaway

Skin MD approached me a little bit ago about doing a review on Skin MD Natural and I jumped at the chance. Here is my review (and a giveaway!) of this great lotion!




With the winter weather I usually get really dry hands and elbows. I haven't been able to find a lotion in years that helps with this. Recently I was sent a bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. The first thing I did when I got the bottle was smell it, not over whelming and no strong scents, loved that. Next I put some on my dry cracked elbow, I noticed right away that it didn't feel think or greasy like some other lotions, and it went on smooth with very little needed. I started using it every few hours like suggested on the bottle, with in 2 days I noticed a huge difference in my elbow. I also loved how soft and moisturized my hands felt afterwords, for hours. I've been using it once a day now, right before bed, and I wake up with nice soft hands, arms and elbows. One of the other things that I love about this is the statement, "A little goes a long way," is certainly true, you don't need very much of it to do the job and do it well.

  1. From looking around the site I learned that they have a shielding lotion rather that protects the skin.

  3. I do not like lotions that are super greasy feeling and I don't like super strong scents so those are two things I look for.

  4. The lotion takes the outer layer of skin & creates a protective shield.

  10. I look for good moisturization in lotion & skin care products. I hate having a greasy feeling left on my skin after using a product.

  14. I look for a non greasy feeling after I've applied it. I don't like it to absorb too quickly either though.

  18. I learned that conventional lotions only add surface moisture to temporarily alleviate dry skin or itching while shielding lotions stay on because they bond with the skin and protect it for long periods of time.
