Summer Skin Care: How Do I Look Great All Over?

06/06/2008

Although many of us have a basic skin care and beauty routine we follow throughout the year, summer skin care has slightly different requirements: We’re getting into our bathing suit so we’re showing parts of our body that aren’t normally visible, we like to go stocking-free so our legs become an issue, and we generally want to cut down on cosmetics. However, after a harsh winter most of us don’t have perfect skin. Our heels are a little crusty, our legs and arms are flakey and our face is totally devoid of that healthy, summer glow. How do we transform our skin so we can go au naturel without the help of the products we normally use to mask our flaws? Shielding lotion, a breakthrough in skin care technology, may be the answer.

What can shielding lotion do that other skin care products can’t? Unlike other lotions, potions and creams, a good shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a new protective layer than locks in natural moisture and keeps out chemicals.

This might not sound like such a big deal but, in fact, it is. Other products make the skin feel smooth and soft by coating it with a slick substance, but they do nothing to heal the dryness or other condition. In fact, they can even make it worse.

Here’s how Dr. Brian Zogg, a dermatologist practicing in Albert Lea, Minnesota explains it: "Shielding Lotion forms a protective barrier on the skin and keeps out irritants and chemicals. It also allows the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin, making it a perfect skin care treatment. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. When your skin gets dry and itchy you know that the protective outer layer of skin has been stripped away. The artificial moisturizers in conventional creams and lotions can send a signal to the moisture-producing parts of your skin that enough moisture is present. Your skin then makes less of the natural moisture needed to resolve a dry skin problem. With a shielding lotion you protect your own natural oils and moisture in the skin, so it heals faster."

Thousands of doctors now recommend a shielding lotion for dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne and a host of other skin problems.

Topical skin treatment isn’t all you’ll need to look great. You should also stay away from junk food, get plenty of exercise, get enough sleep, and make sure you take vitamin and mineral supplements regularly. However, nothing you can do internally will protect your skin from harsh weather conditions or environmental and household pollutants and chemicals. For that you need a good topical natural skin care treatment. Give shielding lotion a try and this may be your best-looking summer ever!
