Shielding lotions work to strengthen the your skin's natural barrier so that your skin can heal itself and true relief can be found. Dr. Brain Zogg a board certified dermatologist, explains how shielding lotions differ from your conventional lotions: "Shielding lotions are lotions that form a protective shield with the outer layer of your skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in your skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that shielding lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams."
