November is the time of year for holiday fun with your family! You should enjoy this special time – but as temperatures drop and air becomes dry, our skin has a tendency to lose moisture and dry out. This can especially happen when combined with the dry heat from radiators and furnaces we all love to crank up in the winter.
November is National Healthy Skin Month and to help your skin thrive against the winter Hot Beauty Health will be giving away a “Cozy Winter Survival Kit.” This care package includes amazing Eucerin products that help replenish skin’s moisture and a couple of gifts we think will be useful during cold and flu season.
Here’s some winter skin care tips:
1. When showering have the water temperature be pleasantly warm, but not hot. Hot water is very drying on skin.
2. Avoid using a body brush with sharp bristles in cold weather because it will strip your skin of its natural oils. Use a body scrub instead!
3. Use creams with higher concentrations of essential fatty acids to maintain soft and glowing skin
This month’s product spotlight: Eucerin Calming Body Wash and Calming Creme and Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Creme
- Eucerin Calming Body Wash (8.4 oz.), is a unique body wash formulation that combines soap-free cleansing with omega oils and other natural lipids to nourish and soothe.
- Eucerin Calming Creme (8 oz.) is a gentle, non-greasy formula that combines calming oatmeal and rich emollients to help relieve dry, itchy skin for softer, healthier-looking and more comfortable skin.
- Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Crème (2.7 oz.) is a unique, non-greasy formula that intensively moisturizes and is enriched with buffered alpha hydroxy to gently exfoliate.
Prize:
One lucky winner will win:
- Eucerin Calming Creme
- Eucerin Calming Body Wash

- a Yogi Tea Cold Season Sampler

November 15, 2011 at 4:23 pmDon’t shower with too hot water, it’ll dry out your skin too much. Then when you get out of the shower, just pat the skin, not rub and then put on lotion while the skin is still damp.
