Skin MD Review

I was given the opportunity to review a couple of different skin care products from SkinMD – the shielding lotion for face, hand & body, and the Natural + SPF15 lotion.

Here is a brief intro to the lotion from their website:
Our world class cosmetic for­mulating chemists have spent the last twenty years developing personal care products for many of the most internationally respected cosmetic companies that are known for their innovative products. Collectively they have developed more than 40,000 formulations.

We have developed a formula that can duplicate the natural action of the skin and help to heal the dry, damaged skin. The formula for this shielding lotion is a result of natural ingredients along with cutting edge chemistry and new cosmetic products only recently available on the market.

While we were researching and testing the formulation one of the most exciting new ingredients to come out in years was released to the cosmetic industry. Glycerin has been the standard against which all humectants are measured. This new substance has a moisturizing factor 6 times higher than glycerin.

Apart from searching for the perfect ingredients to form a shield we included natural ingredients that could help heal damaged skin. Nature provides us with some very effective healing agents; one of these is Aloe Vera, used for centuries to soothe dry skin. Our blend of five natural plant extracts with moisturizing elements makes Skin MD Natural extremely effective.

Basically, this is more than just a lotion. It is made to not only give you back the moisture that you lose, but also create a barrier to the products we deal with every day that cause dryness, irritation, and more.

They have been featured in quite a few magazines, as well as are being recommended by a lot of dermatologists.



I can honestly say I liked both of the lotions I was able to try.

First, let’s talk about the shielding lotion. Right off the bat, I noticed that the texture of this lotion isn’t quite the same as other lotions. It’s really light and silky, and to be honest, I thought it was going to be greasy. I was wrong. It soaked into my hands and left them feeling like my hands feel just after I get out of the shower. They were soft but not oily, but the thing that got me, is they looked soft! They really looked moisturized. A couple of hours after putting the lotion on, I noticed that my hands still felt great and looked like I had just recently applied lotion.

The only thing I didn’t really like was the smell. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. It just smelled like a regular lotion, but what do you expect? It’s a natural lotion, meant to protect your skin; not to make you smell good. I typically go for the girly scents, so it just wasn’t my normal scent. :)



Second, I was able to test out the SPF 15 over the weekend while I was in Vegas. I was very happy with the results! I am a natural redhead and get color pretty easily, especially my first time out in the sun for the year, which this was. I applied the sunscreen before we went to the NASCAR race on Sunday, and I came home with very little color. Everyone else with me got FRIED!!! Poor things.

After a couple of hours, I did put on some SPF 50 to really block out the sun, but I can say that if I had only been out for a couple of hours, or if it hadn’t been my first time in the sun, this would have been more than enough coverage for the day. It also left my skin feeling really moisturized without feeling oily, and that great soft feeling didn’t go away. This smells almost identical to the shielding lotion, which I actually like because most sunscreens really stink!

I appreciate the fact that their lotions are all natural skin care products. You don’t have to worry about chemicals or toxins being absorbed into your body. I will definitely use the SkinMD skin care products again in the future, especially the sunscreen. I really liked it!

Buy it!
