Skin Care News: Can You Protect Yourself Against Eczema?

May 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Beverly Hills, Ca., New Shielding Lotion Protects Your Skin From the Itch of Eczema

What is the underlying cause of eczema?
Eczema is a chronic skin disease characterized by dry, itchy, inflamed skin caused by an allergic immune response with in the skin.  While there is no cure for the condition, understanding the causes and finding the right skin care treatment product can greatly reduce the occurrence of symptomatic outbreaks.The underlying cause of eczema is now believed to be a defective skin barrier. Your skin barrier is made up of tightly packed together skin cells surround by proteins and fats (lipids) that work to keep skin hydrated and protected. There are environmental factors and chemical irritants hidden in every day products from shampoo to laundry detergent that damage your skin's protective barrier causing it to become defective.

Could you be suffering from a damaged skin barrier?
Nearly 80 percent of eczema is due to contact with harsh chemicals and environmental irritants. If you have dry damaged skin,chances are a damaged skin barrier is to blame. When your skin's barrier becomes impaired and is no longer properly functioning, there is a resulting increase in water loss that leads to you having dry and cracked skin. Besides an increase in water loss, a damaged skin barrier also allows your skin to become more  susceptible to irritants that create an increased risk for skin conditions such as eczema."As a dermatologist with many years of experience treating skin problems, I can tell you what the major causes are," says Dr. Lisa Benest, "one of them is exposure to irritants and chemicals in the everyday environment. We live in a much more toxic environment today and our skin bears the brunt. When we are exposed to harsh conditions in the environment it can have a very negative effect on our skin."


How you can repair your skin barrier now with shielding lotion?
Traditional moisturizers are designed to simply add artificial moisture to the surface layer of your skin. These moisturizers do very little to heal or protect skin and many of them even contain harsh chemical ingredients that can damage the integrity of your skin barrier leading to more skin problems for you. Realizing the need for an entirely new approach to skin care, 21st Century Formulations put together a team of leading doctors, dermatologists, and cosmetic chemists who spent six years working together in developing Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion.  Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is able to duplicate your skin's own natural functions strengthening your skin barriers ability to protect against toxins and irritants resulting in healthier softer skin. Dr. Lisa Benest explains why shielding lotions are the ideal skin care treatment “The reason shielding lotions are so effective is that they replace the protective barrier and allow the skin to heal from within. A shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin and protects it from outside irritants and chemicals, so it will prevent skin conditions from developing or it will help an existing condition to heal."
 
This is what just a few of Skin MD Natural's customers have to say about how Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion helped them discover the skin they have always wanted:

"I just want to thank you so much for this fantastic product. I've suffered from eczema since a baby, and at worst been in hospital covered in wet wraps and steroids. It was especially upsetting for me, when, at 20, I developed eczema on my face. I could no longer tolerate makeup and every cream I tried caused a reaction. It was with a great deal of skepticism that I bought a bottle of Skin MD Natural, but it sounded different to other things I've tried. The first thing that shocked me was the fact that it didn't cause a reaction on my face and my skin lost its usual tightness.

"My husband, who had developed severe dermatitis on both hands, was almost clear of his dermatitis after a week of using the lotion, and my steroid use has lessened considerably. I have now just ordered my third bottle from www.beautynaturals.com. You have, in short, given me my life back! I recommend this product to everyone I know, and when they see first hand my improved skin, they all want a bottle. I have promoted it on the internet on eczema discussion boards, because I know how soul destroying eczema can be, and if this just helps one person, it will be worth it." --Louise,United Kingdom

"Since I started using this moisturizer a few weeks ago, I have seen a pretty dramatic improvement in my skin tone and my eczema symptoms. My skin is smooth, feels well moisturized and I have had far fewer problems with redness and itching. I feel like I have normal skin!" --Christine

"I have eczema. I have had it since I can ever remember. I have tried creams, ointments, steroid creams and ointments, etc. Nothing ever seems to work very well and usually if it works better than most that also means it's thicker and harder to apply than most.

"Then about a year ago I learned about something I had never heard of before. It's a new kind of natural skin care called a shielding lotion. Skin MD Natural made promises of moisturized skin that, at the time, I didn't believe. But, I had tried everything else on my scaly, rash looking arms that I figured why not try this.

"The texture was as light as water (and as thin as it too). It wasn't oily, greasy or filmy and you know what? It works!! And it works good!" --Crystal
