A Breakthrough Skin Care Product that might well be just what Psoriasis Sufferers need
Is a cure for psoriasis on the way? Recent research identified genes that are pivotal in its development. The key, according to scientists, lies in the integrity of the skin barrier. More research is still needed and once completed, a cure may be formulated. In the meantime, psoriasis sufferers need relief. Thousands of doctors are now recommending shielding lotion - a breakthrough skin care product that might well be just what psoriasis sufferers need.
The research, conducted in China and published in the July 25 issue of Nature Genetics, was the third study to verify this genetic basis for psoriasis. The function of the genes under investigation is to monitor cellular proteins in the outermost layer of the skin.
This layer consists of dead skin cells, oils and fats. It protects the underlying tissue, preventing the absorption of pollution and other harmful bacteria and toxins. This enables the skin to hold the natural moisture necessary for healthy skin.
However, genes aren't the only factors that destroy the skin barrier. Exposure to harsh weather - too cold, too hot or too dry - and skin care products that contain harmful chemicals are among the most common causes of skin problems.
Skin care products are especially damaging since the vast majority of them contain chemicals that actually cause dry skin. This is true even for traditional moisturizers - which you would expect to do exactly the opposite.
A good shielding lotion, on the other hand, bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a new protective layer that keeps out chemicals and keeps in natural moisture. This enables the skin to virtually heal itself.
Here's what one user had to say about this skin care product. "I have been suffering with psoriasis on my hands for over two years now. I have tried pretty much every product available, from Vaseline to topical creams my dermatologist prescribed... While shopping, I noticed a small bottle of shielding lotion in the checkout lane, I thought, what the heck, I'll try it. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! I think you may have the cure! The shielding lotion has made such an incredible improvement to my psoriasis condition that I am utterly astonished. My hands look and feel like hands again! In just 2 short days. The frustration, irritation, and embarrassment of psoriasis has been such a source of stress for me. I am so glad I found your product."
Science moves slowly, and it may take quite a while for a cure to be developed. Until then, give shielding lotion a try. You may find that this revolutionary skin care product is all you really need.
Skin Care Keeps Hands Looking Youthful
Women today are very conscious of protecting their skin and striving for a younger, healthier complexion. '60 is the new 40,' they say. Women like Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon do indeed look years younger than they are. We visit spas and salons for laser treatments and facials, but often neglect our hands. The average woman's hands are exposed to sun and harsh weather and years of minor scrapes and cuts. Everyday use of water and detergents can make our hands age much faster than other parts of our bodies.
When you make that resolution to start a new skin care treatment, remember to give your hands a lift too. With the breakthroughs in skin care you can rejuvenate your hands and restore their youthful appearance. Here are some tips for beautiful hands.
Make sure you give your hands the protection they need. We often forget to use a sunscreen in the winter.
Gloves are often recommended as the ultimate protection for your hands, but it is not always possible or practical to wear a pair of gloves. What you can do is use a shielding lotion, like Skin MD Natural™, which now comes with a built in SPF 15 sunscreen. An added benefit to a shielding lotion is it won't wash off for four hours.
Make time for regular manicures.
Eat a diet rich in Vitamins A, B complex and C (to nourish the skin) and calcium, iodine, magnesium and zinc to make your nails long and strong.
Use a cream that helps to reduce age spots and fine wrinkles.
If you have dry and brittle nails, soak them in almond oil.
Try Skin MD Natural™ and see how successfully a SHIELDING LOTION can improve your skin.
Shielding Lotions are different from conventional lotions. These generally perform only one function, they replace the skin's natural moisture with artificial moisture.
A shielding lotion treats dry skin and similar skin conditions more effectively because it forms a bond with the outer layer of the skin and therefore acts as a protective barrier. This keeps prevents irritants from damaging your skin but allows your own natural oils and moisture in.

USING A SHIELDING LOTION AS A ANTI-AGING AND DRY SKIN TREATMENT HELPS WITH WINTER DEHYDRATION
With winter fast approaching, dermatologists will tell you that the risk of dehydration of the skin is much greater. Although most people don't reach the acute dehydration stage, outdoor activities in biting winds and deep frosts still take their toll causing dehydration that leads to dry skin that prematurely ages. A dermatologist has recommended using a Shielding Lotion, along with increased water, electrolyte and mineral intake to improve the hydration of both skin and body. Click here to read more...

Shielding Lotions - more effective for dry skin than mere moisturizing lotions
This Shielding Lotion is far more effective for dry skin than mere moisturizing lotions or protective creams. Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.
Glycerin has been the standard which all humectants are measured against. Until now no other humectant drew in as much moisture from the air as glycerin. The proprietary formulation in Skin MD Natural™ has a moisturizing factor of at least 6 times greater than glycerin.
Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural ingredients along with the latest advances in skin care technology to hydrate and protect the skin like never before.
This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification, "Shielding Lotion", which keeps moisture robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary "Super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day. The accumulated effect is fully realized after only a few days of daily use, resulting in skin that has rarely looked or felt so good.
Your everyday skin care routine should provide complete protection and hydration to the skin. To achieve this goal, harsh environmental irritants need to be kept away from the skin and excessive sun radiation must be eliminated, not just for health reasons but so skin remains youthful, glowing and healthy.
This product helps prevent loss of natural oils and moisture, it doesn't allow irritating substances to penetrate the skin and it absorbs the part of the UV spectrum that contributes to premature skin ageing and development of skin cancer.
Without Skin MD Natural™ the skin is robbed of its natural moisture
With Skin MD Natural™ irritants are kept - OUT, moisture - IN
Anita Carson, the advertising director for Expression Magazine wrote: I liked the way it made my hands feel, I didn't really give much conscious thought to the healing properties of this lotion. That is, until sometime last week when I reached down to instinctively touch a dry, chapped spot on my left hand knuckle with which I've lived for the past ten years. Despite use of many expensive products, I've never been able to alleviate this dry and cracked spot on my left hand. As is the case with many women, I've spent a small fortune on quality face and body treatments in an effort to stave off signs of aging and drying. And though I've been pleased with how many of the products feel, none have ever been able to remove the dry spot on my left hand.
It would amaze you to find that this dry patch on my left hand has completely disappeared! I couldn't find a trace of this rough area and my skin felt soft. The Skin MD Natural shielding lotion didn't just diminish the dry area...it completely removed it!! Being a skeptic at heart, I probably wouldn't have believed a story such as this had it been told to me. Believe me, no one is harder to convince than me so I found it absolutely amazing that there was anything on the market that can work so efficiently and miraculously!

"Shielding lotions are lotions that bond with the dead skin cells of the epidermis, forming a protective layer with the outer-most layer. This protective layer is virtually the same as what was naturally formed with the outer-most layer of skin cells and the skin's own natural oils and lipids, up until about 100 years ago - before modern life and frequent hand washing stripped it away. This protective layer helps prevents irritating substances from penetrating the skin and getting into its deeper layers. Additionally, it helps to retain the natural moisture and oils, which are responsible for the skin's elasticity and integrity, thus helping the skin to rejuvenate itself." [See Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_lotion]
Skin MD Natural™ shielding lotion is designed to help alleviate dry skin, eczema and dermatitis problems as an alternative treatment to standard skin lotions, moisturising lotions, hand lotions and other moisturising creams. Skin MD Natural™ is the ideal dry skin care, dry skin treatment, dermatitis treatment and eczema treatment solution.
"The outermost layer of the skin is naturally designed to work as a one-way barrier to stop moisture loss, prevent irritants from getting under its surface and allow the skin to breathe and perspire. Today's common irritants include cosmetics, perfumes, antibacterial soaps, cleansers, and household chemicals. These irritants strip the protective elements out from the skin's surface leaving it unprotected. Skin gets dry, looses its integrity and protective abilities, thus allowing penetration of even more irritants into deeper and deeper layers of the skin which may develop into a variety of various skin problems. The use of conventional moisturizers often only masks the dry skin, but do not provide an actual remedy to dry skin."
"Shielding lotions restore the skin's protective functions, very similar to the way they were before modern life resulted in frequent washing, giving the skin time to restore its integrity and protective abilities. With this protection in place, loss of natural oils and moisture is significantly reduced. Irritants are kept from the deeper layers of the skin preventing even more severe skin disorders. Shielding lotions are becoming the preferred skin care treatment by a growing number of dermatologists."[See Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_lotion]
The primary function of the outer layer of skin is to prevent irritants from penetrating while still allowing the skin to breathe. Common household products, harsh soaps and antibacterial agents strip the natural oils and moisture from the skin. As a result it becomes more susceptible to irritants penetrating and stripping out even more moisture and oils.
Skin MD Natural™ becomes part of the outer layer of skin to restore this natural function. It helps damaged skin by preventing moisture-robbing irritants from entering its deeper layers and helps reduce moisture loss.
Despite its shielding effect Skin MD Natural™ does not prevent the skin from breathing, in fact it improves it because it helps keep the skin pores from being clogged with outside irritants that are often too complex to be eliminated naturally.
