Brenda, I’ll be contacting you soon via email and once I receive your response, I’ll send it off to 21st Century Formulations so they can get their gift out to you asap! 
Hello darlings!
I know I haven’t been updating much lately, that’s because since I got back to Melbourne from Malaysia earlier this month, I’ve been crazy busy with work and everything else. Also, since I’m really trying super, duper hard as part of my 2010 resolution (let’s see how long it lasts) to save my expenditure on beauty products and really, really finish what now have. Hence, I’m running out of juice for my blog or rather I’m really trying hard to stretch the products I have to blog about slowly so that I don’t run out of steam in one month!
Anyway, I received an email from Amber from 21st Century Formulations on the cute giveaway basket they’re running on their website and she’d like me to let my readers know about it! Basically this giveaway is now live and will run until February 8th to allow for ample shipping time prior to Valentine’s Day.

Having said that, don’t forget the other Skin MD giveaway that I’m running on my blog where the winner will be getting a full size Shielding Lotion and a few samples. This finishes end of next week Jan 31st!
On another note……
I celebrated my first wedding anniversary last weekend….and next Wednesday’s my birthday, so…..we have planned for a two-in-one holiday to the Whitsundays Island.
I’m so excited! I’m flying off tomorrow and will be back Thursday next week!
Till then…hello Whitsunday and I’ll blog again when I get back! Take care my lovelies!
I did a review on Skin MD a while ago and they have recently contacted me to run a giveaway for my readers!
As a recap, the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is an incredibly light in texture lotion which has done tremendous wonders for my skin. Skin felt so much more hydrated, moistened and best of all, incredibly silky and smooth.
A little goes such a long way and this fast absorbing lotion is perfect even in the sweltering heat of Australian summer.
Re-visit my entry and have a quick read on the wonders of this lotion.
The great thing is 21st Century Formulations has kindly offered a giveaway of the Skin MD Shielding Lotion to one lucky winner. This contest is to run from now until January 31st, 2010 – Sunday.

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 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.
