Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + SPF 15 Review & Giveaway

I have to admit, I really am a lotion snob. I do not feel that all lotions are created the same. I have tried A LOT of lotions over time from dollar store random brands, to Victoria Secret, to Bath and Body Works. I’m funny about my lotions though. Sometimes, I like a lot of perfume (i.e. Bath & Body Works) however some brands just don’t cut it on the fragrance and it smells cheap and gives me a headache. Sometimes, I like the ones that don’t really have a smell but almost smell clean, if you know what I mean…..but sometimes those that try to smell clean, smell like a doctor’s office. Of course, don’t get me started on the lotions that are too greasy or too watery. Bleh, both of those just gross me out. As far as lotions go, yes I am very high maintenance and I do have high standards.

Skin MD sent me their Natural Shielding Lotion plus SPF 15 to try. I really like it. The lotion meets all of my required criteria. Of course, if it meets those strenuous standards, I’m sure you’ll like it too. It isn’t greasy, it’s not too watery, yet it’s not too heavy. It feels very nice going on and it just makes my skin feel so soft! I also love how it has SPF 15. I am fair skinned and I love having the protection without going out of my way to put on a sunscreen. I also love how it’s not sticky and smelly like most sunscreens are. It’s just a simple feeling lotion.

So I guess you may be curious as to what’s a shielding lotion is. Dr. Lisa Benest, a board certified dermatologist of Burbank, CA explains:

“A conventional lotion is not formulated to protect the skin like a shielding lotion does. Conventional lotions only add surface moisture to temporarily alleviate dry skin or itching. Shielding lotions stay on because they bond with the skin and protect it for long periods of time. With this protection in place your skin keeps its own moisture in and has a chance to use this natural moisture in the deep layers of the skin to heal itself“

I have tried some of this Natural Shielding Lotion on my son who has very bad eczema. I don’t use it on him really for the sunscreen but rather the healing benefits. I have noticed somewhat of an improvement in his visible itching. Also, his legs don’t feel like sandpaper. If you have skin issues, Skin MD’s Natural Shielding Lotion +SPF 15 is definitely worth trying. If you’re concerned with ingredients, they have the most transparent ingredient disclosure in the industry, so you will know exactly what you’re putting into your body.

Skin MD is so sure that you’ll like their skin care products that they offer an unconditional guarantee. So what are you waiting for?
