"The weather I live in is extremely unpredictable. It is usually quite humid here, but lately it has been pretty dry. One day it will be cold and the next hot. One day we wear shorts and the next we wear a coat. All this back and forth wreaks havoc on my family's skin. My hubby and I were scratching our legs until they were sore due to terrible dry skin and my 22 month old was waking up because his skin was so dry. I also have problems with Psoriasis and very dry feet. I had tried a lot of lotions that would help for a little bit but soon the itching and dry skin was back.
We have been using Skin MD for about a month now. Both my husband and I noticed right away that Skin MD Natural didn't leave a greasy film. We both like that a lot. I also noticed that my skin felt softer and my Psoriasis stopped being itchy and became much less scaly. My Psoriasis is on my head so hair products seem to make it worse. The shielding properties of Skin MD Natural™ really seemed to protect my scalp. I noticed I wasn't scratching my head nearly as much and started seeing less flaking.
I also used this on my oldest son and his skin felt much softer immediately. I also like that SPF 15 is added to it. I put this on my boys and I everyday for extra protection and moisture when we go to the park. I have been keeping it in the diaper bag lately and hubby keeps asking what I did with 'his lotion'."

"Usually whenever I go to the beach I get sunburned even if I use a sunblock. But this time I put on the Skin MD Natural spf15. I played volleyball, went swimming and was out in the sun for 4 hours. I reapplied it once after swimming and not only did I not burn at all but I also got a nice tan. This stuff works!"

"To say that I love lotion, would be an understatement.
I have been pregnant, nursing, or both since October 2005. My skin has stretched to carry two beautiful boys to 42 weeks, 2 times in the last 3 years! My bump with Andy defied gravity, and while Ryan was a smaller tummy bump, he was 10 pounds at birth, he didn't exactly treat my stomach skin gently either! I've been breastfeeding for almost 3 years straight. I've been changing diapers for almost 3 years now too. I was my hands ALOT. Not to mention, I literally get the liquid sucked out of my body! I try to drink lots of water, but sometimes, the skin around my mouth starts to get tight & I know I'm beginning to dehydrate. Aside from worrying about getting enough water for my own body, it really takes a toll on my skin! I of course, horde lotion like the world is coming to a lotion end. And while I LOVE scented lotions, I do know that alot of what gives it such great scents, is really drying to the skin. Living in Ohio in the winter, washing my hands upwards for 20 times a day, nursing, all my daily activities really take its toll on my hands and my face.
That has ALL changed. I kid you not. Skin MD Natural [SPF15] gave me the opportunity to try their protective shielding lotion. Lotion, yay, right up my alley! When I started reading the testimonials I thought "Okay wow, maybe this actually is totally different than regular lotion.." So I gave it a try. I washed my face & put just a bit on my face, it really doesn't take much, they even remind you to just use a bit. The first thing I noticed was its a thin, smooth lotion. I know sometimes when I think of "intense moisture" I think the cream has to be thick, rich & heavy.
Nope, Skin MD Natural is thin, not greasy & slides easily on. I almost never use facial lotion in the morning, I just feel greasy afterwords, but I cant even tell I applied lotion, if I touch my face, I can FEEL a difference It's softer and it actually looks more even in the mirror. I don't wear cover up, or powder so I don't like using a lotion that gives me a greasy appearance to my face, but Skin MD doesn't leave anything behind but soft rosy, even cheeks.
I was impressed immediately. However, Skin MD Natural is a universal lotion. Its not just for your face, its for your hands, feet, eczema, its for any part of you that needs moisture and restoring. I cant say I've ever found a lotion that ACTUALLY does the job for all parts, but I put just a bit on my hands & sat down to rock Ryan to sleep. I laid him down 5 minutes later & rubbed my hands together. I have NEVER come across a lotion like this. My hands feel DIFFERENT. I can't tell I put on lotion, but my hands feel soft. You know that feeling of healthy, what they call "dewy" skin, where it isn't achieved by lots of lotion, its achieved by actually having really healthy great skin?? My hands feel like that.
It doesn't feel like a moisturizer, if feels like a skin repairer. My hands don't have a "coating" of moisture, my skin actually IS moist, below the layers of skin, down into places that are radiating out word. The best way I could think to explain it is like this. They say "soft as a baby's butt" for a reason. That skin that has never held a tool, dug a hole,been washed hundreds of times over, its perfect, flawless & moisture & daily life haven't yet tainted a baby's skin. This lotion is your best bet at your skin EVER feeling and looking like that AGAIN.
I cant tell you how much I am loving this stuff, my feet get stepped on by my husband daily, I actually have 2 toes that just dont feel anymore, they are cracked & before they went numb, were painful! I've been using ONE DROP of this on them every night & you can see a HUGE improvement, not even straight vaseline or vitamin E did what Skin MD Natural has done ina matter of nights for my feet."

"Because of my fair skin I normally have to put on tons of high spf sunscreen to even begin to keep from burning when I’m outside. So, I was a bit skeptical that the Skin MD Natural with spf 15 was going to protect me. But, when I was at a pool party and out in the sun all day not only did I not burn I even tanned which is not what I expected at all. I thought maybe something had changed with my ability to withstand the sun but the next day I went to the beach and using regular sun block I got one of the worst burns in my life. The Skin MD Natural is amazing stuff and I am going to use it to protect myself from now on."

"I have always had dry skin. In the winter, my hands get so dry that they hurt. I have allergies and asthma and have always been sensitive to the scents of lotions, Skin MD Natural smells clean, and light and fresh. It doesn't have that lingering after smell that some lotions have. And since it has SPF 15, it helps to protect my skin when I have to be outside!
Between washing dishes, changing diapers, bathing children, my hands stay dry and cracked. I've tried every lotion I can find to keep this from happening, but they are either greasy feeling, or wash off with the first hand washing after applying. This hasn't happened with Skin MD Natural. After trying it on my hands for a few days, I decided to try my feet. I have a habit of going barefoot all the time, and the result is extremely dry, cracked heels. Not anymore thanks to Skin MD Natural!
I've also been using it on my face, and have noticed that those tiny little lines around my mouth that have been creeping in since I turned 41 have disappeared! My mom even noticed the difference! She recently had a skin lesion removed from her forehead, and I gave her some to try on the spot, Skin MD Natural helped it heal faster!"

I wouldn't consider myself as someone who has acne. But I would say that I occasionally get pimples. Usually only one or two at a time. But regardless of the amount, it's still frustrating. I don't use acne products on my face. I find that they either don't work at all, or make me break out worse. My face cleanser is just a plain, all-natural, foaming soap. This product goes along perfectly with the cleanser that I use!
You don't need to slather this all over your face either. I put a small dab on my fingertip, and it was more than enough for my entire face and neck area. The directions tell you that a little goes a long way, and that is the truth! I'd also like to mention, that a short time after putting this on my face, I noticed a difference in my skin. First of all, it is so smooth and soft. Not greasy or oily. Secondly, I'm usually a little pink around the cheeks and nose, but it wasn't there at all. I put this on before I had showered, so later when I did shower, I was surprised to find out that I did not need to reapply! My face is still soft and hydrated, even after washing!
Last but not least, this particular formula also has SPF15. As a skin care specialist, I always told my customers that the number one cause of aging is the sun. I can not stress how important it is to protect your skin, at any age! This product not only protects you from the number one cause of aging, but since it's a shielding lotion, you're also protected from the number two cause; free radicals in the environment. There are so many things that this little bottle of lotion can do, and I can definitely say that I am a fan!

As a stay-at-home mom of small children I'm constantly washing my hands. Hand washing and soaps can irritate your skin and strip away it's natural oils. Traditional hand lotions don't always stay on your hands through constant washing. Cold dry winter air can also make dry skin much worse.
After trying Skin MD Natural [SPF15] shielding lotion I was amazed with the results. I placed about a pea sized amount on my hands and rubbed it all over. The dry itchy spots in between my fingers immediately soaked up the lotion. My hands felt refreshed but not sticky. After repeated hand washing Skin MD Natural stayed in my skin.
My son has multiple food intolerance. One of his common reactions to this problem is eczema breakouts and dry itchy skin. With regular use, Skin MD Natural has been proven to help heal eczema by increasing the skin's natural moisture. For natural skin care I recommend this product.

"I get really dry skin - cracked and bleeding dry skin! Plus, I have fair skin (being a red head and all)! I was excited to try Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion + Sunscreen SPF 15 from Skin MD Natural! It was like quenching the thirst of my skin. Not only did it soak in, it felt great and smelled great!"

"Living on a farm, and perpetually refusing to wear anything but flip flops, can cause havoc on ones feet. The very first time I applied Skin MD Natural's Shielding Lotion, I fell in love. My feet were instantly transformed! I barely recognized them!
And the best thing about the Shielding Lotion, you can use it on your face, hands and body. So I started slathering it everywhere! Luckily, I was able to try out the Shielding Lotion with SPF 15 and with all the sun we're getting now I haven't had to worry about adding any addition SPF protection."

"I have a crazy job which makes me run a lot, fly around the world and keeps me busy, busy, busy.... So, imagine how much time I have to take care of my skin. And it use to cost me a lot, this red & grey, unhealthy looking face. Being a relationship manager I face customers daily. And I don't really want them to know that I had a sleepless night, a long flight and a dozen chocolates when they get to see me for a very first time.
Expensive solutions I tried were nowhere near to Skin MD Natural + SPF15. You know, I simply apply it on my face before I go to sleep, then each morning, and whenever I fly. My skin looks beautiful. No allergy, no itching, no disappointment. There is no second chance to make a first impression. This is why I've chosen SMDN that never lets me down."
"When you hear a product claiming it is a "skin care breakthrough," you may try it and most times its not all its hyped up to be. I had never heard of Skin MD Natural [SPF15] before and was excited to try it. During the winter my hands become extremely cracked and dry and I haven't found many products that cure it.
When I first tried the Shielding lotion... it didn't feel like a lotion at all! It isn't thick and sticky like most lotions. It is a hydrating, thin, silky and smooth lotion that dries quickly. The bottle says for hands, body and face, but I was hesitant to try it on my face. I get acne easily and lotions sometimes are the cause of it. I replaced my daily moisturizer with the Shielding Lotion before applying makeup and I could tell the difference right away. My makeup didn't feel caked on and my face felt light and airy! I didn't realize my daily moisturizer was weighing me down!
Skin MD Natural really is a "skin care breakthrough," and this is one product I would recommend."

"November 6, 2008: I have been using the original Skin MD Natural formula and it works well for the eczema that I have on my legs, relieves itching instantly, eliminates redness within 3 to 5 days and the irritation (raised patches of skin) becomes smoother and healthy looking. I have also used it on my face, especially on the forehead where the skin is flaky and wrinkles start getting deep. The flakiness is gone in as little as a single day's use and the overall look of the skin very much improved.
While the original formula worked wonders on my eczema and face, it was unable to fully beat the dry skin (actually "alligator skin") on my left elbow. Then I started using the new SPF15 formula, which has a thicker consistency. After just 3 applications the cracks on my elbow closed and the redness was gone. My elbow now has healthy skin that doesn't ache, is not red or cracked or inflamed. The skin is still a bit thicker than the skin on my other elbow and has several dry skin flakes on the surface but it seems to be getting better from the inside out. I will continue using it and let you know of the progress.
November 20, 2008: In just 2 weeks of use of applying it only once a day the skin on my left elbow became absolutely normal. Hurray!
I wear a rhodium bracelet and got severe burning and itching immediately after I put it on. I have been told that rhodium is a so-called "white gold" and does not cause allergic reactions but I do have an allergy to this metal. Out of curiosity I covered my wrist with SMDN before putting the bracelet on and it felt absolutely normal. This lotion has proven its effectiveness once again."

"For many years I had problems with my nails, they were soft and none of the vitamin supplements helped. I started using salted water baths for my nails. It does work but I developed severe dryness and irritation on the skin around the nails, so bad that my skin felt like it was burning. I put some Skin MD Natural + SPF 15 onto the skin, but not on the nail itself, before the procedure and I now have both strong nails and great-looking skin."
