Skin MD Natural
Once, a few years ago my family was rushing through Penn Station in New York trying to make our train back to Maryland. My bag, filled with a portable DVD player and other paraphernalia designed to keep GW quiet happy on the train, weighed way more than I could comfortably manage. The strap was cutting painfully into my shoulder and even in our rush, I had to stop and redistribute the weight. Mr. Frantic was way ahead of me and I told GW to ask him to wait.
Her little five year old voice rang out loud and clear with a “Daddy! Mommy has issues!”
Issues? Who me?
Actually, I’d have to agree. But only when it comes to my skin.
My face is the lovely combination of oily with dry patches. Finding a good moisturizer has been difficult. I’ve run the gamut from drug store brands to expensive ($75 per oz.) salon finds. If it heals the dry patches, it usually causes more oil. If it keeps the oil in check, the dry patches grow.
Last month, I got a bottle of Skin MD in the mail to review. Given my history, my expectations were very low.
The press kit that came with it explained that Skin MD is a Shielding Lotion. Apparently, this means that Skin MD forms a protective barrier on the skin to keep out the moisture robbing bad stuff.
Their website declares:
A Shielding Lotion is far more effective as a dry skin treatment than conventional moisturizing lotions or protective creams. If you suffer from dry skin, you know that just using a moisturizing lotion doesn’t solve the problem. A shielding lotion does much more than just treat dry skin – it’s a new kind of skin care product that makes a real difference to all skin types.
Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.
I’ve been using it for about a month now, mainly on my face. I like it. I like it a lot.
I currently have no dry patches or oil slicks. And even when I went sledding with GW during the Arctic Blast 2008, I didn’t get any wind burn. The few times I have bothered to put it on my wintry arms and legs, it felt soothing.
Here’s what I don’t particularly care for: the packaging. Sort of cheesy.
And the smell. It is “unscented”. Which really means that it has a scent, just not a good one. It smells like, well, unscented sunblock.
However, neither issue is a big one. I’ll definitely buy this product.
Speaking of buying, Skin MD is available for purchase either on their website on amazon for $18 (plus shipping) for a 4oz. bottle. But for you west coasters, I just saw it at Fred Meyer in the pharmacy department for the strange price of $10.37. Guess where I’ll be getting mine?
Take that skin issues!
