Shielding lotions

I was offered a chance to try Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion last month. I think it is common knowledge that I am an avid fan of beauty products. Hence, I took up this opportunity to test a new product I have never tried before. Skin MD Natural has kindly offered to send me a bottle of their shielding lotion¹ together with brochures and a few sachets of samples². The shielding lotion is multi-purpose and can be used on the face, hands and body. It also comes with sunscreen SPF 15 which I had purchased myself from local stores because I wanted to see how well both of them worked together.

According to Skin MD Natural, the shielding lotion works differently as compared to conventional moisturiser because it keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary “super” humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day. This makes me even more eager to try out this lotion since I have a problem with dehydrated and oily skin ever since I am on the acne.org regimen 2 years ago.

I have been using these lotions for a month as facial moisturisers³ and this is how I feel about it:

Fragrance & Texture

Both lotions are fragrance free but I feel that it has a slight smell of sunscreen, even for the normal lotion without any SPF. The smell does not really bothers me since it is quite faint. Personally, I like it this way and prefer my skincare products without any added artificial fragrance due to my sensitive skin condition. The texture and consistency of the lotion with SPF is thicker than the normal lotion. I would prefer the texture of the normal lotion since it is much lighter and easier to apply.

It has been a long time since I wrote any reviews of the beauty products I’ve purchased and tested. I drafted this post in September 2009 and only managed to finish it in January 2010. Fret not! It’s not going to be more than a thousand word. I will be reviewing my favourite products from Nuxe – Creme Etincelante and Micellar Foam Cleanser with 3 Roses. I’m a hardcore fan of this French brand, Nuxe and I’m going to share how much I love them. This is my collection of Nuxe products taken last September:

I just arrived in Singapore a few hours ago from my trip to Kuala Lumpur and here’s a post dedicated to my shopping haul. I really love the sales at Etude House, it’s so much cheaper than buying the same products in Singapore. I’ve a few new tops and jackets as well but I’m too lazy to take photos of them now. I think the extremely cold conditioning system in school constantly reminded me to shop for new jackets. By the way, I am finally a proud owner to a dwaeji tokki¹ from You’re Beautiful.
