It is widely known that the skin is the largest organ of human body and its first line of defence againt environmental irritants, dust, wind and sun. The primary function of the outer layer of skin is to prevent irritants from penetrating the skin, while allowing the skin to breathe. But we rarely take into concideration that there are thousands of irritating substances around that didn't even exist some 50 years ago. And the amount of such substances grows rapidly. Our skin is not able to withstand them. Common household products, harsh soaps and antibacterial agents strip the natural oils and moisture from the skin. As a result it becomes more susceptible to irritants penetrating and stripping out even more moisture and oils. Skin's own natural protective barrier helps keeps the moisture in and the irritants out; keeping this natural shield in place helps the skin heal naturally. With a conventional lotion you have to reapply it regularly to get the benefit, - it will come off when you rub your hands or wash them.

 

A shielding lotion is a new kind of natural skin care treatment based on a new technology that blends moisturizers with a light silicone material that is like a liquid shield that bonds with the surface of your skin. It protects your skin and keeps your own moisture in and lasts for at least four hours. Shielding lotions are the ultimate natural skin care products, they not only protect the skin's barrier but restore the moisture itself, so that your skin does not become addicted on the moisture and ultimately cures the dry skin.

 

Skin MD Natural™ becomes part of the outer layer of skin to restore this natural function. It helps damaged skin by preventing moisture-robbing irritants from entering its deeper layers and helps reduce moisture loss. Despite its shielding effect Skin MD Natural™ does not prevent the skin from breathing, in fact it improves it because it helps keep the skin pores from being clogged with outside irritants that are often too complex to be eliminated naturally.
