Review: Skin MD Natural + Giveaway

I was approached by those over at Skin MD Natural to test their Face, Hand, & Body Shielding Lotion and now, I am finally getting around to doing it. First off, you may be wondering 'what's a shielding lotion?'- here's a brief snippet from their brochure: "Shielding lotions not only protect the skin's barrier but they restore the moisture to the skin and allow the skin to continue to moisturize itself, so that your skin does not become addicted on the moisturizer and ultimately cures the dry skin." Shielding lotion is a fairly new product to skin treatment scene. I was really intrigued by this product as it's different from most traditional moisturizers. It helps rebuild your skin so that is can heal itself. When I first used the product, I liked that it was super light. It won't clog your pores, cause acne, etc. I was skeptical too because I do tend to have extremely dry skin and prefer something heavier for the winter. I tested it for about 1 week- 1.5 weeks. Honestly, I really wasn't expecting too much from this product but I was fairly surprised by the results. After a couple days, my skin felt a bit softer and had a certain glow to it. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I like about it but my skin just looked overall healthier. It's definitely a great product for those who like light moisturizers. I personally would probably save it for the spring or summer as I like to lather on heavy moisturizer in the wintertime. Skin MD Natural also uses natural ingredients so you don't have to worry about what you're putting on your face. The price per bottle is $18- which can be a bit pricey for some but if you can, I would always splurge a little more on the important products like moisturizers, foundation, etc. Just make sure to do your research before hand about what products might work for you before spending a whole lot on one product.
