Everyday contact with soaps, cleansers, shampoos, household chemistry and other substances that strip away skin’s own protective layer (a thin film made of natural fats, lipids), leaves the skin’s deeper layers unprotected. Without this protection in place oils and the natural moisture of the skin evaporates and absorption of irritants is no longer prevented.

Conventional lotions only add artificial moisture to the skin temporarily alleviating the dryness or itching, but these moisturizers don’t actually solve the problem, they only treat symptoms without eliminating the cause. Dry skin is unable to absorb the newly added moisture to allow repair – it does not get "locked" into the skin. It gets lost easily. That’s why we keep applying more and more of the conventional lotions. Even so, skin easily gets addicted and may even suspend production of it’s own moisture, relying on added moisturizer.

Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion, 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. Skin MD Natural works by bonding with cells of the skin’s outermost layer to form what works as an invisible shield. This layer of protection prevents environmental irritants and pollutants from penetrating the skin, while sealing in the skin’s own natural oils and moisture, helping resolve the dry skin condition.

Skin MD Natural uses only the finest natural ingredients, and is focused on urging the skin to be active, and to use its own moisture to effectively heal itself. It is not oily or sticky, doesn’t sit on top of your skin leaving a greasy residue on everything you touch, it doesn’t rub or wash off easily, is hypoallergenic, fragrance, colorant and paraben free and dermatology tested.

It’s for Moms, Dads and Kids of all ages.
It’s an easy, safe and natural way to care for your skin throughout the day.
Every day.

21st Century Formulations recently contacted me for a review of their raved product, Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. Last Friday, I received their promo pack and I must say, I am indeed loving this light and absolutely amazing lotion.

This lotion claims to be different to other lotions you see out there. Whilst traditional lotions you find in the market are merely hydrating the surface, Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion bonds with our skin’s outer layer and enhances it’s protecting abilities to eliminate dry skin all together.

There’s heaps of information on their website, so do check it out. Plenty of raving reviews by users and professionals alike – so there’s plenty of both technical and experiential based reviews for you to read on the benefits of this product.

This lotion is incredibly light in texture, light and milky (per my picture above). I have been religiously applying this lotion day and night for the past week and it has done tremendous wonders to my dry and sensitive skin. My skin feels very much more moistened, hydrated and incredibly silky and smooth.

The lotion is absorbed very quickly and it does so without leaving any greasy or heavy feeling. It’s very light and certainly perfect for the summer weather here in Australia.

The lotion comes in a bottle, however, as it’s texture is incredibly fluid and light, be careful not to squeeze too hard as you’ll end up with too much product. I’ve noticed that a little goes a long way and you really don’t need much at all to moisturize your whole body with.

I use that little dot size for both my arms and hands, another dot for each of my legs and another dot for my body. Since it can be also be used on the face, I have tried this as well a few nights ago (which has done wonders by the way) using half of the dot pictured above.

I must admit I was very cautious about using it on my face at first. However, I really wanted to give a fair review and seems the claim on the product says that it is usable on skin everywhere, I gave it a fair shot and am glad I did. Absolutely no reaction. My skin was smoother, softer – like a baby’s the next morning. I’m certainly pleased about that!

There seems to be a slight almond like scent to it, though it says that the product is unscented. However, need not worry as it is a very pleasant and subtle scent.

I’m happy that I got to try this incredibly amazing lotion during summer. I’m gonna get one for myself next winter and see if it works for me during winter as well when my skin goes absolutely amok, getting drier and more chapped with each passing day!

I’d say that if you have dry skin, this is an absolute must have. A bottle costs $18 and they ship internationally. Orders can be made from the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion website directly.

If you’re dying to give this a try, I have a 2 samples of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion and a sample of their SPF15 version.

Write me an email at by Friday, 11 December and I’ll post the whole pack off to one of you lucky readers, worldwide. You can also obtain samples from their website.
