Review: SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion

So I am sure a lot of guys have already read a review about this product elsewhere, but I thought I'd still give my two cents about the product and provide some pictures for my readers. I actually have had this product for awhile now, but I never got around to be reviewing it due to time constraints. Better late than never, right?

This is a very natural lotion for the skin, and before trying it I was very afraid it would be greasy or heavy. I have very oily skin so I can't stand using moisturizers that adds to that. However, upon trying this, I was surprised by how light it was. The texture is almost like an emulsion or an essence. In fact, its the same texture as my Laneige Star White Essence. Therefore, it doesn't even feel like I'm putting moisturizer on. Even though it's very light, it still provides adequate moisture for the skin, which really helps with reducing the production of oils on my face throughout the day. There was a day I forgot to apply this on, and I realized my face was much oilier than usual.
I also love how the texture of my skin feels after this. Now, I don't have smooth skin at all on my face, but with this I can feel a much better texture than if I hadn't put this on. This lotion can be used for the Face, Hands, and Body. I've tried it on my hands before, and I also love what it does as a hand lotion.

Overall, this is a great natural moisturizer and I really love it for my oily skin. I don't have dry skin so I can't speak for how well it performs on dry or combination skin types, but I'm sure there's a review elsewhere that will provide you with information for that. This moisturizer is not one of those cheaper alternatives, I have to admit, but if you plan on spending $18+ to try a new moisturizer, why not give this a try?
