Skin Shield

January 15, 2010 /

Winter means dry skin and I love feeling moisturized but not sticky icky. I like to moisturize right out of a hot shower but I hate how lotion sticks to leggings and tights and even jeans. I recently received a bottle to SkinMD from the amazing PR people over there to test out this product. My favorite thing about it is that it absorbs in 30 seconds and really creates a ‘shield’ for your skin.  I love beauty products and though this one is not marketed that way, it truly works! I am a fan of high performance products and you should definitely try this one if you are looking for something fast absorbing and liquid.

The visocity is thin and liquidy – I would say it’s more runny than a primer but thicker than a serum.

Not even 15 seconds later, my skin is ‘shield’ed! ^_^  (Jacob cameo)

I looked on the list of ingredients and I think this is will be one more my staples in my skin care routine. There are no baddies in there such as parabens, fragrance or animal products – overall I like it! If you want check out their site and see what they are all about. When my sister comes to visit next week from Edmonton, I will get her to try it. She is extremely picky when it comes to lotions because she likes her skin to be not greasy at all! I think she will like it.
I have been looking for a face cream FOREVER.
