There is honestly nothing that bothers me more than dry skin. I've spent many years as a teacher and nanny which translates to LOTS of hand washing and hand sanitizing. All of that soap and alcohol is terrible for keeping your hands nice and moisturized. On top of that, I have seasonal eczema. It only tends to happen during the dry, cold winter months. Regardless, it's embarrassing and painful when it occurs. I've used several products and when Skin MD contacted me about a review and giveaway, I knew the product was right up my ally.
For this review, I was given a 4oz bottle of their Natural Shielding Lotion, which is a 1-2 month supply when used daily. It has no smell, isn't greasy, and it is recommended you use a dime or quarter size amount as a bit goes a long way. It absolutely instantly moisturizes your skin and feels like it provides a thin barrier over your skin. I love that Skin MD is a green friendly company, using solar energy for production. It is also vegan and cruelty free.
My verdict? It definitely works and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT as a facial moisturizer. I actually prefer it as that than as a hand lotion. However, what comes to mind when I hear of this product is the easier to obtain Cetaphil brand of products. In comparison, a 16 fl oz bottle of Cetaphil's Moisturizing Lotion is just $9. Skin MD's Natural Shielding Lotion is $18 + $7.95 S&H in the US. Quite a big difference. BUT...in comparison of ingredients, it seems that Skin MD's product is indeed MUCH more natural and also seems to be paraben free, which is super fantastic. So, if you prefer to use green friendly, natural products...Skin MD is for sure your choice. They also offer a version with SPF 15 for slightly more.

Oh, I have the worst dry skin in the summer out here! I don't know what it is-but I know it's awful and have not found a single thing that works! Count me in :)

My question is... how long does the Cetaphil last for you? I've never used either of them so I wouldn't know.
