Is Working On ATV's
Destroying Your Hands?
 Beverly Hills, CA – Skin MD Natural is not
your typical hand or body lotion. It is, in
fact, a completely new category of product that
looks like a lotion – but acts very differently
on the skin. Most lotions only attempt to
artificially add moisture to the skin. Shielding
lotions instead are designed to create an
invisible, protective barrier that helps keep
harmful chemicals out and keeps natural moisture
in, letting Mother Nature provide the necessary
healing to repair skin at its deepest levels.
"Your skin wasn’t designed to deal with soap,
with paints, solvents, adhesives and thousands
of other everyday chemicals," explains Dr. Peter
Helton, a board-certified dermatologist
specializing in cosmetic dermatology. "Nearly
everyone’s skin is exposed to harmful chemicals
on and off the job. That is why ‘Shielding
Lotions’ are so important."
Unfortunately, traditional lotions have one
basic goal - to simply make up for the moisture
that our bodies are losing by adding an external
source of moisture. Many common ATV products,
cleaners, paints, solvents, petroleum products,
and even soaps are absorbed directly into your
skin, causing skin disorders or just plain dry
cracked skin. Also, when participating in other
activities from gardening to sports, furniture
restoration to fishing, or exposure to harsh
weather, you are further drying and irritating
your skin.
According to Dr. Helton, shielding lotions
help prevent this by bonding with and protecting
the skin. "They not only add moisture to your
skin, but also stop the loss of your natural
moisture."
"We have developed a formula that can
duplicate the natural action of the skin and
help to heal the dry, damaged skin," says
Enrique (Ike) Alabata, the director of research
and development for 21st Century Formulations in
Beverly Hills, CA.
Alabata spent almost twenty years as director
of research and development for Raffaello
Research Labs where he developed personal care
products for companies like Sebastian
International, Dermalogica and Murad.
 "The formula for this shielding lotion, Skin
MD Natural, is a result of cutting edge
chemistry and new products only recently
available on the market. While we were
researching and testing the formulation one of
the most exciting new ingredients to come out in
years was released to the cosmetic industry,"
explains Alabata. "Glycerin has been the
standard against which all humectants are
measured (no other humectant pulls in as mush
moisture as glycerin.) This new substance, in
addition to a very effective combination of
natural ingredients, has a moisturizing factor
10 times higher than glycerin and we were able
to include it in Skin MD Natural."
"Most lotions are oil-based or lanolin-based
and just sit on top of the skin," Dr. Helton
explains. "They don’t reach into the crucial
underlying layers. Trying to replace the lost
oil with other oils doesn’t always work very
well; you don’t know if you are replacing the
right oil and even then you are just putting a
patch on the problem. It is much better to
protect the skin from the environment and then
your body will take care of itself."
"I literally have my life back," says Linda
Lemke, a Largo, FL upholsterer of 35 years.
Lemke, like many professional and career
oriented women, had a job that was wreaking
havoc on her hands. In this case, the culprit
was fabric samples, which often contain
formaldehyde. Her condition was so serious that
she was forced to retire after suffering from
anaphylactic shock caused by exposure to the
chemical.
"I couldn’t work for nine years. Now (after
using a Skin MD Natural) I can and I’m telling
everybody why," says Lemke.
It’s also becoming clear that dry and cracked
skin and hands have ramifications beyond
physical pain and discomfort. There is also
often an emotional toll, with women talking
about "intense embarrassment" or low self-esteem
as a result of their condition.
Linda Lemke, who has since returned to the
upholstery business, credits shielding lotions
for "getting me back to work and giving me back
my life."
Ed Goodman, a Licensed and Certified Athletic
Trainer and a PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors
of America) Certified Ski Instructor and a part
time police officer wrote, "The fact that I live
up at almost 10,000 feet where the air is
extremely dry and harsh on my hands is bad
enough, but when you add the facts that I have
an 18 month old son and also a job that requires
me to wash my hands constantly these lead to dry
and painfully chapped hands. As I have been
using Skin MD Natural for the past month I have
not had these problems.
Ed went on to write, "Skin MD Natural works
great! I will be strongly suggesting to all my
colleagues who suffer from chapped and painful
hands that they should be using Skin MD Natural!
Once they try it they will also be convinced of
its benefits."
Linda Sereda, a jewelry designer, says, "All
my life, I've had dry hands. For the most part,
I don't mind it but sometimes my hands are so
dry, they are as rough as sandpaper and snag my
clothes. When they get like that, they really
bother me. I then put lotion on them to try to
soothe them."
Linda wrote, "Over the years, I've tried at
least 30 different lotions and creams, probably
more. None of them worked to moisten my hands
for more than 2 minutes. That is, until I tried
Skin MD Natural. On the first application, my
hands stayed moist for 90 minutes. On the second
application, it was 4 hours. After that, it was
a day, then 3 days. When I work a lot with
paper, which just sucks the moisture right out
of my hands, I need to use it twice or three
times a day but otherwise, I hardly need to use
it at all and my hands stay just how I like
them. Now, that is truly a miracle! I also
really like the fact that it is fragrance free
and contains mostly ‘natural and organic’
ingredients".
