How a Shielding Lotion Handles Dry Skin
"A shielding lotion is a lotion that provides a natural barrier on top of the skin to protect it from outside chemicals and irritants. In addition, it also acts to keep the moisture and the oils in the skin so that the skin can heal itself."
"Humectants are substances that add moisture to something: many humectants actually pull moisture from the air into the skin. Skin MD Natural has humectants that are based on cutting edge chemistry that actually hydrates the skin six times more than glycerin, which up until now has been our gold standard for humectants."-- Dr. Lisa Benest (Board certified dermatologist)
