I’ve been meaning to post this a while ago, but yet again, life gets in the way of blogging! Well, the promissed giveaway is finally here, and it’s for Skin MD Natural Lotion – shielding lotion that is unlike any other conventional, artificial moisturizers because it works with the skin to naturally moisturize and heal. I was lucky to receive a sample from Skin MD to try it for myself, and didn’t want to write about it until I could see the effects of this moisturizer for myself.

Well, I’ve been using it for about a month now, and I absolutely love the results! This lotion is lightweight, yet it leaves my skin feeling hydrated for hours. I’ve also noticed that my skin is much softer and silkier. The right type of lotion is so important to me, especially right now, since my skin tends to get so dry over the winter months – Spring is all about renewing and re-hydrating. The press release states the following:

“Most conventional, artificial moisturizers only add moisture to the surface of the skin, but do little to repair the skin’s natural barrier against moisture robbing irritants. Continued use of artificial moisturizers can cause the skin to actually begin producing less of its own natural oils, thinking that the skin has enough moisture. This can cause skin to form a dependence on the moisturizer for hydration. Skin MD Natural breaks the dry skin cycle by working to help restore skin’s natural protective abilities by bonding to the outer layer of skin, strengthening skins natural barrier against toxins and irritants that can dry the skin, while locking in the skin’s natural oils.

Made in the US using high quality natural ingredients making it over 90% all natural. All ingredients are considered to be of food grade and are also on the FDA’s most safe list. It is free of harmful fragrances, parabens, and colorants making it hypoallergenic. We don’t participate in animal testing nor does the lotion contain any animal products.”
