I wash my hands a lot, not excessively, but just throughout the day there is a lot of hand washing. In between personal care, dealing with all of our animals, preparing food, cleaning, etc. my hands get a lot of washing. With the current flu season this is great – but the skin on my hands can suffer from all that washing. With winter coming up it gets a bit worse because of the dryness in the air.
Skin MD asked me try their Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I really do like it.It is not just a moisture lotion, but a shielding lotion. This means it helps with moisture in my skin, but also helps protect against irritants getting into my skin.
When I first received the lotion I used it several times throughout the day for a few days. After that I noticed the moisture level improving and my hands were not feeling nearly as dry, even after just washing them. Now I only need to use the Skin MD Shielding Lotion about twice a day to maintain that level.
A big factor for me in lotions is how they feel and smell going on. Skin MD has a very light smell that dissipates very quickly. Hubby and Taylor have also tried it and they do not feel it smells “girly” at all like some of my other lotions. Skin MD Shielding Lotion also is absorbed into my skin very quickly. You know some lotions are sort of greasy and seem to take forever to work in or you have to wipe your hands off a little afterwards even – Skin MD Shield Lotion is not like that at all. Just a small amount (a large pea size) and rub your hands together for about 15 seconds and you are done.
While it costs more than some other lotions, in the long run you use less so it actually can save you money. I tried the regular version, but they also have a version with sunblock in it also. With a few folks in my family having had some minor skin cancers this is important to me. Hubby also has to wear sunblock because a medication he takes makes him extra sensitive to the sun, particularly on his arms.
