Product Review - Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

This review is a bit overdue, but I wanted to make sure that I had a thorough sense of the product, before even mentioning it to you guys. So as I type this, I no longer have my Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion because I ran out. Yes, I've been constantly using it to the point where it no longer exists. Read on...

Pricing $18 for a 4 oz. bottle

Even though this one was a courtesy of the company, I think the price is just right. I mean I usually pay around $20 for my body butter, so $18 is not so bad.

Appearance/Packaging 

If you're like me, and buy stuff because it's pretty, then you will probably never own this. It's not a cute bottle, let alone catchy, and if you carry your lotion around [like moi] it's not something that I would be proud to flaunt around. The bottle was a nice size though, so it fit on my purse easily.

Texture/Fragrance

If there was one thing I loved about this product, was it's texture. It's almost addicting. It's very thin, and the skin absorbs it in NO TIME! I seriously loved that. Also, since I'm an allergic freak, I was hesitant to try it at first, but it has no fragrance, and it's non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

The fact that it was fragrance free, intrigued me. I've always used lotions with a scent. However, I've noticed that I put on perfume, then a few minutes later I put on whatever lotion I have on my purse, and they're NEVER the same scent. So basically, either the perfume scent gets lost, or I just smell like a bunch of different things. With this lotion, I didn't have that problem.

Performance/Effectiveness

Note: You can use the product on your hands, body and face, I only tried it on my hands.

Like I mentioned earlier, I used the whole 4 oz. of this little product, but I have mixed feelings about it. When I put it on, my skin felt great. It was silky smooth, and my skin actually felt fresh. However, after a while they would get dry, and when I say dry I mean DRY. Something that I had never seen before, they started to get ashy, and white-looking, which is weird, because well, I was using lotion. This only made me put more on, which is probably the reason of why I went trough the whole bottle.

Would I recommend this product?

Yes, especially if you have allergy problems, this one didn't cause any reactions on my skin.

  1. But, if your skin gets dry really fast, what's the point of buying it?
