Eucerin Calming Bath and Body Giveaway

By /

I love Eucerin and am proud to participate as a blogger in the Eucerin Skin FIRST Network!  Each month, we receive important information on how to take care of our skin, in addition to fun packages we receive and giveaways we host on our blogs!  Here is some useful information I received for the month of December.

Have you ever wondered exactly what made Rudolph’s nose shine and glow so much?  If you ask a skin care expert, they would probably say Rudolph has symptoms of dry, irritated skin from the cold winter weather.  December Skin FIRST Movement Update is about keeping the cold winter weather from hurting your skin – as well as treating the inevitable dry skin patch.  So would you be put on Santa’s skin care “naughty” or “nice” list based on your current habits?  Here are some tips to help you get on the “nice” list and stay there:

Nice:

– Wear gloves in the winter to protect your hands against environmental elements.

– When washing the dishes or doing laundry, protect your skin with protective gloves, shielding your hands from chemicals and excess water.

Naughty:

– Do you use daily moisturizer for your dry, itchy skin?  If you don’t, frequent scratching could lead to skin irritation and possibly infection, and no one wants to feel uncomfortable around the holidays.  Be sure to use an oil-based moisturizer during the Winter to keep skin moisturized such as Eucerin Original or Eucerin Plus lotions.

– Now that summer is gone, do you decrease the amount of times you exfoliate?  In the cold winter months, you should actually increase exfoliation.

– What type of cleanser do you use?  Many soaps are alkaline, which can be irritating to unhealthy skin and lead to a condition called alkali eczema, resulting in itching, redness, small bumps and flaking.  To reduce their drying properties, many soaps contain added fats like lanolin and paraffin and/or lactic or citric acid – so always look at the label before you buy!  Soap free cleansers like Eucerin Calming Body Wash are great for this time of year and the Eucerin Calming Creme can be used to break the itch/scratch cycle.

Eucerin’s Calming Body Wash and Calming Creme can help with the itchy, dry winter skin when used regularly.  Make an early resolution to yourself to make it on the “nice” list next year by making 2011 the year you put your skin first.  To get started, take the Skin FIRST Pledge here now.

    I learned that when your skin is exposed to the cold the blood vessels constrict to preserve body heat and in turn leads to dry and flaky skin.

    I don’t use lotion as much as I should and so I’d probably be on the naughty list. I don’t think I really learned anything new from the video, but it did remind me to try not to scratch my skin so I don’t get any infections.

    I would say that I’m probably on Santa’s skin care “naughty” list – I don’t take care of my skin like I really should. I learned that the winter cold, dry air strips water from our skin.

    I learned that scratching makes your skin vulnerable to infection. I’m on the naught list but am really working on being better to my skin b/c it is super dry!

    Cold air strips the skin of moisture causing it to become dry and cracked. Eucerin will protect the skin and restore the moisture.

    When skin is exposed to cold, blood vessels constrict to preserve body heat therefore leading to less water in the skin cells leaving them dry, itchy, and flaky. My habits put me on the “naughty” list.

    I’m on Santa’s skin care “naughty” list. I learned that skin that is exposed to cold will cause the blood vessels to constrict which causes the skin to be dry & itchy. That’s why my skin has been so dry & itchy this winter.

    I learned why skin gets dry during the cold months, and that Eucerin helps to moisturize, and also helps skin to retain that moisture.

    Probably on the “naughty” list. I learned from the video that dry skin caused by environmental factors such as cold temperatures can be eased by using moisturizers.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I learned that it is very important to moisturize the skin well during winter because cold weather causes dry and flaky skin.

    Thanks for the giveaway… cold / dry weather can constrict blood flow to the skin, reducing moisture in skin cells.

    I learned that when skin is exposed to cold temperatures the blood vessels constrict to conserve
    body heat causing dryness from lack of water
