High tech lotion sounds kind of scary, doesn’t it? I’m getting visions of naked-to-the-eye nanobots being pumped out with the lotion, going about their job of mechanically “healing” the skin as they’re spread about.

Ugh - not natural at all!

But to answer the question: Yes, high tech and natural can co-exist in a healing lotion, and without the nanobots, too.

It exists as a product called Skin MD Natural, which uses natural ingredients for dry skin treatment along with the latest advances in dry skin care technology to hydrate and protect the skin. In fact, this is one product in an entirely new concept in skin care, which required a new classification: “Shielding Lotion”.

According to the Skin MD Natural site, a Shielding Lotion

“is a lotion that forms a protective barrier on the skin and keeps out irritants and chemicals. It also allows the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess, ” says Dr. Brian Zogg, a dermatologist in Albert Lea, MN.

What makes it high tech?
The silicones that are used as spreading or wetting agents and which form a protective layer to help prevent transdermal water loss.

What makes it natural?

• Aloe vera
• vitamin E
• arnica
• comfrey
• chamomile
• and yarrow

Why would I love Skin MD Natural?
A parent who is concerned about keeping themselves and their children healthy is a parent who washes their hands often. Particularly parents who are changing dirty diapers and wiping snotty noses. And all that hand-washing means dry skin, which is even worse in the winter.

With continuous use, this lotion has an accumulated effect, typically after only a few days of daily use. You’ll only need one or two daily applications for complete dry skin care. And those natural ingredients I listed above are healing ingredients, making this lotion do double-duty.

So this all sounded great to me, particularly for the dry and cracked skin on my knuckles. They stung just from the air that touched them.

I received my samples (see below for more information) and was happily surprised to see they sent three instead of the two stated on the site. Hopefully that wasn’t a mistake and their site just needs to be updated. The packets each hold 3cc of lotion. This felt like nothing in the container, but the package states that they’re useful for 3-5 applications. I typically got 6 applications per packet.

How did it feel going on?

A tiny bit of lotion - about a dime’s worth or less - spread extremely easily across the entire surface of both my hands. It was very slippery for aabout 10 seconds. After 20 seconds it became sticky, and by 25 seconds of continuous rubbing, my hands became slick. They were never greasy feeling and feel nice and smooth after the lotion is dry.

How did it feel after a few days use?

Even after just one day my hands felt great! I would put a little extra lotion on my dry knuckles, and by the next day all the dryness was gone. One packet usually lasted me a day or two, and I was sad when my supply was up. When I washed my hands I could feel the lotion kind of rehydrating, but would always put on just a bit more. It seemed to take less and less to keep my hands moisturized.

So you would recommend it?

Definitely yes! Here are some other reasons why:

• Your complete satisfaction is always guaranteed!
• No animal products or testing
• Dermatology tested
• Fragrance and colorant free
• Hypoallergenic

Where can I get me some?

You can order directly from them online. It’s expensive at $25 dollars for a 4 oz. bottle, but that will last you for up to two months with daily application. Remember that it has an acculumlative effect, so you’ll use less and less each day.

I used their store locator, but couldn’t find a store that carried it locally. I even searched the nearest big city (Denver) and didn’t find a store. Skin MD Natural does offer free shipping if you purchase more than one bottle, which I think is a good deal.

Free samples!

You can get a free sample by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to the address below.

Or you can do as I did, and pay $2 for two sample packets (which may actually be for three sample packets, unless I just got lucky).

If you order or otherwise get in touch with them, please let them know you found them via Great Family Gadgets.
