Friday Fun Finds!

It's Friday again. Time for another installment of Friday Fun Finds!

I have eczema. I have since I can remember. I have tried creams, ointments, steroid creams and ointments, etc. Nothing ever seems to work very well and usually if it works better than most that also means its thicker and harder to apply than most.

Then about a year ago I learned about something I had never heard of before. It's a new kind of natural skin care called a shielding lotion. Skin MD Natural made promises of moisturized skin that, at the time, I didn't believe. But, I had tried everything else on my scaly, rash looking arms that I figured why not try this.

The texture was as light as water (and as thin as it too). It wasn't oily, greasy or filmy and you know what? It works!! And it works good!

Here is a video to learn a little bit more about shielding lotion, specifically Skin MD Natural. It's a pretty cool demonstration of how it "shields" a bare hand from acid while at the same time the acid burns away at rocks.

One of the things I like best about it, besides the fact that my arms are now smooth with an even skin tone, is that it has natural antimicrobial agents (big words for homeopathic, natural ingredients that help to decrease bacteria). You all know how much I hate germies so how cool is it that my lotion helps get rid of germies and naturally at that?

Okay, so it's not a big surprise that I love this lotion. But it gets even better.

Two words. . . SPF 15!!

Skin MD Natural with SPF 15 is still the fabulous lotion I've used for the past year but it now also protects me from the sun. It really is wonderful. I've been using it for a few months now on the two kiddies as well as myself. Lilly's skin is sensitive but Noah puts us all to shame. The air makes him break out in a rash. It's so dry that sunblock sometimes burns and the thick texture of it is so hard to rub in on him. So I loved using the Skin MD Natural with SPF on the kids even more than I loved using the original version on myself. At that, is nothing short of amazing.

The only downside is that it's not the easiest product to find. It's not sold at most retailers. But when I went to their website and searched for a place to get it I did find out that the mom and pop drug store around the corner carries it. You can also buy it online in small bottles (that last forever, by the way) or even pop for the full size (name the movie). Don't know if you want to buy some yet? Try a free sample. Cool, right?

Alright, so that's my fun find for the week. You really should give it a try. Dry skin or not, it's a great value, lasts a long time and makes your skin feel wonderful. If you end up trying it (or already use it) let me know. I would love to know what you think of it.
