 "Shielding Lotions form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. They are light and go on without a greasy mess." "Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that Shielding Lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams."

Albert Lea, Minnesota | Skin MD Natural™ — Ultimate Dry Skin Care Treatment Thyroid | Thyroid Malfunctions Can Cause Extremely Dry Itchy Skin The functioning of your skin depends on the general health of your body and when hormones like the thyroid are not working properly it can have a profound effect on your skin's condition.
An under-active thyroid (hypothyroid) slows the metabolic function and results in the skin being cold, dry and pale. The dryness can be so extreme that there is no sweating at all and the palms and soles get thick and dry (keratoderma). Hypothyroid dry skin is prone to develop dermatitis (eczema craquelé - a crazy paving splitting of the surface layer).
An overactive thyroid can cause skin problems too. The skin on the shins gets thick with raised plaques or nodules due to deposits of altered material in the skin. The epidermis thickens and you get an itchy, dry skin condition.
Skin MD Natural™ is an excellent dry skin treatment for these conditions. "I developed an overactive thyroid in 1990 and the skin on my shins and my feet became thick, dry and itchy.
I have tried every lotion available for dry skin treatment, to no avail. I often scratched my legs till they bled. Then I found Skin MD Natural. What a relief! My skin is no longer red and itchy all the time.
While I know that there is no medical cure for this condition, with Skin MD my skin is not red, dry and itchy anymore."
