Learn how to keep your Skin Healthy !~Eucerin Daily Skin Balance Body Lotion~ Giveaway

Giveaway Now Closed. Congrats to Katie.
I would like to share some information with You!!! Let's learn the science behind skin aging and learn the necessary steps to help prevent wrinkles and keep your skin healthy.

Do You know what causes aging? Here are a few facts and tips:
~Skin is composed of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis, with an insulating layer of fat below, called the subcutis. The dermis provides a network of collagen and other connective tissue elements that act like a scaffold that helps to maintain firm, flexible skin. As you age, the collagen network is diminished and your dermis holds less water.

~Put it out, seriously.
Smoking affects more than just your lungs. It results in poor circulation, brown spots and wrinkles. Many of the 4,000 plus chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage our collagen and elastin when absorbed into the skin. These fibers give skin strength and elasticity, so when you’re smoking, you’re getting sags and wrinkles (and giving them to other people too!).

~Wear sunscreen
We know you’ve heard this one before but we just can’t stress enough how important it is. Sunscreen is one of the most effective ways to help prevent wrinkles. UVA rays can penetrate into the dermis of the skin and are the primary cause of chronic sun-induced damage like premature skin aging. These rays (or ultraviolet light from tanning booths) are toxic to your skin. They increase production of free radicals and trigger cellular changes that can lead to wrinkles, brown spots, sunburn and dryness, or serious diseases like cancer.

~Moisturize. Moisturize. Moisturize.
Extreme changes in temperature and humidity can damage the skin. Cold and dry air saps water from our skin, leaving it dry and flaky while hot and humid air can lead to drier, unhealthy skin. Much of this climatic impact on skin can be prevented with moisturizing cream.

~Eat Well
You are what you eat. Limit your consumption of low-fiber, high-sugar carbohydrates (hold off on the ice cream, people). A diet composed of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, high-fiber grains, low-fat dairy and poly- and monounsaturated fats that is low in red meat, saturated fats and sugar, will help maintain your skin’s health.


Eucerin’s new Daily Skin Balance Skin Fortifying Body Lotion and Hand Creme strengthen the skin’s protective barrier against external elements and enhances skin health while providing 24 hour moisture.

Eucerin DAILY SKIN BALANCE skin-fortifying body lotion is much more than a moisturizer. It's scientifically developed, unique combination of ingredients with pH buffer, provitamin B5 and shea butter strengthens and supports your skin’s protective barrier by helping to maintain its natural pH balance.

I have tried this body lotion and hand creme and really love it!!! It makes my skin feel so good. My skin was starting to feel more dried out, since the weather has been getting colder here. I have really noticed a difference in my skin (for the better) since I have been using this. It is not as dry, as I can feel the moisture being restored. My skin feels so much softer and I notice that my hands are alot smoother and soft feeling from using the hand creme.

Eucerin skin care is so effective that it's been trusted by dermatologists for years. My daughter's doctor has recommended using Eucerine Creme for her dry skin problem too.

Put the Health of your skin first!!! Eucerin new Daily Skin Balance Skin Fortifying Body Lotion and Hand Creme can be purchased nationwide at most local retailers.
