The winter months are horrendous on my skin. I already suffer from dry skin and eczema but in the summer it seems to spread and get progressively worse. Lotion is essential during the winter. Finding a good lotion is a difficult task for someone with skin sensitivities. I want something that is going to work, but it has to be gentle enough on my skin that I don’t break out in a rash. I recently had the chance to try Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion to soothe my dry skin.
A shielding lotion is “a very special type of lotion helping the skin restore its integrity, enhance its protective functions so that the skin is able to heal naturally and regain its youthful appearance.” (taken from Skin MD Natural’s website). The bottle isn’t fancy (a white bottle with a simple label) but the product can stand for itself. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is very light and silky. It doesn’t feel like most of the moisturizers and lotions that I have used in the past. The lotion glides on and absorbs into the skin quickly.I was a little skeptical of how light and thin the product was because of my severely dry skin, but the shielding lotion worked just as well as many of my thick creams that I use for my eczema. I began by applying the lotion all over my body after showering. I did this for a couple of weeks to make sure my sensitive skin didn’t break out. My skin felt rehydrated and moisturized with just the once daily application. After ensuring I wouldn’t have an allergic reaction, I recently began using Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion on my face as a daily moisturizer. My face feels incredibly soft. I could easily replace my facial moisturizer with the shielding lotion. Skin MD also offers the Shielding Lotion with SPF15 to help defend your skin against harmful sun rays. Here are the highlights of the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion:
No animal products or testing- Dermatology tested
- Fragrance and colorant free
- Hypoallergenic
- Paraben free
- Non-comedogenic
Overall, I would highly recommend this product for anyone. Skin MD Natural Shield Lotion comes in a 4 ounce bottle (you would be surprised how long this actually lasts) for $18. The SPF15 formula retails for $25 for a 4 ounce bottle.

I like that it’s not tested on animals! I also really need to find something with moisture and with sunscreen! xo
it keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary “super” humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day.
I use 2 moisturizers every day to keep my skin hydrated.. and it is still flakey.
I learned that shielding lotions are effective for all skin types. Thanks!
I thought I could only order this online but using the store locator I found out that in my zip code, I can buy this great lotion at CVS and Clinic Pharmacy

I was happy to learn that I can buy it locally at Giant Eagle and CVS pharmacies! I did not think it was anywhere near me!
I have a VERY hard time staying moist in the winter. I sleep with a humidifier on every night though, and that really helps. I used to have this patch of dry red skin on my forehead that would not go away and was really irritating, and the humidifier got rid of it.

“We are so certain that you will absolutely love the way Skin MD Natural™ feels, goes on, and how it protects and hydrates your skin that we unconditionally guarantee it.” VERY impressive!
When my skin gets dry, I take a warm shower and put lotion on directly afterward on my damp skin. It seems to work.

I learned that the proprietary formula in Skin MD has a moisturizing factor that is at least 6 times greater than that of glycerine. Amazing!

To keep my skin moisturized during the harsh winter months I make sure to lather my hands and feet with lavender pine body balm every night before bed.
