Skin MD
Several opinionated parents have been trying out the new shielding lotion from SkinMD.
How is this lotion different from the hundreds of other lotions on the market? Here’s what the company has to say:
“Conventional moisturizing lotions only attempt to replace a lack of natural moisture with artificial moisture but the problem is it comes off every time you wash or touch something. Until now, all one could do to alleviate a dry skin problem was to apply conventional moisturizing lotions. In order for any moisture to actually improve a dry skin condition it needs to get below the second major layer of skin. In reality the only moisture that is going to reach this level is your skin’s own natural moisture.
Have you ever stopped using artificial moisturizers only to experience an episode in which your skin actually became drier than it was before you started using them?
When you apply any artificial moisture to the skin’s surface you are often sending the wrong signal – that your skin is being adequately moisturized, when in fact it is actually dehydrated of natural moisture. This often results in reducing your skin’s production of the natural moisture needed to actually resolve a dry skin condition.
Unlike artificial moisturizers, Skin MD Natural bonds with the outer most layer of skin cells to turn it into what works like an invisible shield.
This “invisible shield” keeps moisture-robbing irritants out while helping to retain your skin’s own natural moisture, resulting in skin that is far better hydrated, over the long term, than what can be achieved by conventional lotions.”
And here are the results of our highly un-scientific study:
SkinMD Natural is not inexpensive as far as lotions go. It’s $25 for a small (4 oz) bottle.
It is surprisingly ‘liquidy’ and therefore a little goes a very long way. It soaks into your skin immediately and doesn’t leave any greasy or slimy coating. In fact, about 15 seconds after applying it I forgot I had already applied it. The moist feeling, however, lasts about 3-4 hours, even through hand washings. At 4 applications a day, the $25 bottle would likely last you a few months so it’s not as bad as it seems. And it works, so that’s always a bonus.
Opinionated Parents love fully disclosed ingredients. No secrets here!
Another great thing about Skin MD? The unconditional guarantee. It even includes shipping costs so you’ve really got nothing to lose. Except your dry skin, and that wouldn’t be so bad.
