Starting last year, when the weather started getting colder, I was having trouble with dry skin. (I know-I'm getting old!) I hardly ever had dry skin problems before, so I wasn't used to constantly putting lotion on, and my hands, especially, just kept getting worse and worse. Well, when I was contacted to do a review of Skin MD lotion a few weeks ago, I thought "What great timing!" My hands were starting to dry out again from the cold, dry weather and I really wanted to find a lotion that worked!
After the lotion arrived, and I read what the lotion was about, I became even more interested. This is what is so special about Skin MD:
Conventional lotions only add artificial moisture to the skin temporarily alleviating the dryness or itching, but these moisturizers don't actually solve the problem, they only treat symptoms without eliminating the cause. Dry skin is unable to absorb the newly added moisture to allow repair – it does not get "locked" into the skin. It gets lost easily. That’s why we keep applying more and more of the conventional lotions. Even so, skin easily gets addicted and may even suspend production of it's own moisture, relying on added moisturizer.
Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion, a very special type of lotion helping the skin restore its integrity, enhance its protective functions so that the skin is able to heal naturally and regain its youthful appearance. Skin MD Natural works by bonding with cells of the skin's outermost layer to form what works as an invisible shield. This layer of protection prevents environmental irritants and pollutants from penetrating the skin, while sealing in the skin's own natural oils and moisture, helping resolve the dry skin condition.
Skin MD Natural uses only the finest natural ingredients, and is focused on urging the skin to be active, and to use its own moisture to effectively heal itself. It is not oily or sticky, doesn't sit on top of your skin leaving a greasy residue on everything you touch, it doesn't rub or wash off easily, is hypoallergenic, fragrance, colorant and paraben free and dermatology tested.
It's for Moms, Dads and Kids of all ages. It's an easy, safe and natural way to care for your skin throughout the day. Every day."
(I still can't believe how dry my hands had gotten! Yuck! Sorry for such a gross image!)
As you can see, the Skin MD lotion has really healed my hands. They haven't looked like that first image again since the first few days of use, despite the single digit temperatures and dry air. I am really quite impressed!
I do have to admit that I don't have a lot of experience with other lotions, since this is a newer problem for me, but I also don't see a reason to have to try anything else!

Well the closet stores are about 25miles away! But I shop allot online so that's not a problem.
One store is in Hemet and one in Temecula which around the area where I go to a casino. I have super dry skin, especially my heals.
