Petit Foodie

I had the opportunity to try Skin MD Natural Lotion. I’ve always been a huge fan of moisturizers, they are the #1 most important skin care tool we have. I loved how this lotion quickly absorbed into my skin and didn’t leave my skin greasy and sticky feeling, like most lotions. It left my skin feeling silky smooth! This lotion works as a shield, repelling irritants and locking in moisture.

My daughter has always had extremely dry skin with occasional eczema patches. She itches like crazy. We always have to be super careful with what we use on her because even lotions like Cetaphil burn her sensitive skin when it is broken out. Recently I started a new regimen of putting Olive Oil in her bath water and lotion her with Skin MD Natural. You would not believe the improvement we have seen. Her skin on her legs does not feel like an alligator any more. It is smooth! This winter has been so cold and dry in our area and we have not had the problems with her waking up in the middle of the night screaming because her skin is burning and itching. It’s been such a relief!

I tried using Skin MD Natural on my face as well. I loved how light it was and it didn’t leave a weird greasy residue. Sadly though, due to the dryness of winter my face was still flakey and dry. Usually in winter I need a heavier cream like Cetaphil. I think Skin MD Natural would be a great option for summer, when it’s hot and humid, due to the lightness of it. It also has a SPF which is great all year round. I’ll definitely be trying it again on my when the coldness of winter passes (SOON I HOPE GRRRR!!).

The biggest problem I have with this product is the price.  At $18 for a 4oz botter, it would be much too expensive for me to use on a regular basis.  On the other moisturizes are very expensive and your skin is very important so it’s really all about perspective.  I will continue to use it on my daughter and see how it goes…I’ve already seen improvements in her skin so we may continue so use it on her.
