SKIN SAVER
BARRIER LOTION

Skin Saver Barrier Lotion was developed by Emmy award-winning makeup artist Jennifer Aspinall working with a premier skincare lab. Skin Saver provides clinical-grade environmental skin protection by forming a protective shield over the skin. This protective shield locks in moisture, keeping skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. Skin Saver is enriched with beneficial botanicals to nourishes skin as it protects. Skin Saver also works well with makeup and adhesives, and is an ideal primer.

Skin Saver is a favorite Barrier Lotion of Hollywood professionals. It is routinely used for both protecting celebrities' skin under makeup, adhesives, & prosthetics on set, and for nourishing skin after heavy makeup & long days under the lights.

Skin Saver is a powerful addition to any daily skincare routine, and is recommended for anyone interested in environmental skin protection and improving skin health.
