March is National Craft Month. Retailers across the country offer special classes, promotions and demonstrations to celebrate the joys and benefits of crafting and encourage participation. Unfortunately, crafting can be very hard on your hands and crafters often find that their cracked, dry skin inhibits their ability to do the job. Shielding lotion, a breakthrough in dry skin care now recommended by hundreds of dermatologists, has changed the lives of many crafters who can now derive all the benefits without the pain, discomfort and inconvenience of dry skin.

Glues, chemicals, paper, fabrics and other materials used in crafting are often irritating to the skin. Some are toxic, and others rob vital moisture from the skin leaving it cracked and dry. A good shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a protective surface that locks in natural moisture while blocking absorption of dangerous and drying chemicals. Also, unlike traditional moisturizers, shielding lotion dry skin care is non-greasy: no spots are left on the materials and it is easy to grip needles and other tools.

Many crafters have discovered shielding lotion and are using this unique dry skin care product to find relief after years of discomfort:

"I do counted cross stitch and Hardanger needlework, and can't stitch with sore, cracked hands. It's the first time I have had "normal" hands that aren't cracked or bleeding. Thank you."

From a retired nurse who now has time to pursue her hobbies of quilting and embroidering:

"Your product is the best hand lotion I have ever used. There is no odor (I am allergic to many other products), no stickiness, and no residue to harm delicate fabrics.

"It leaves your hands so smooth that no thread or fabric snags on any roughness that might be present on my hands (after a few days of use and there is no roughness on my hands, period)."

If crafting is your livelihood, or even just a hobby, shielding lotion dry skin care may be just what you need. Give it a try!
