We still have a few more weeks of summer, but it doesn’t really feel like it. School is starting up again, work is getting busier and busier.
Eucerin Smoothing Essentials Body Lotion & Hand Creme (Just Part Of The September Eucerin Giveaway)
And with all that is going on, it’s very easy to feel really stressed out!
When you’re under stress, you’re not really losing your mind, but in some ways, you’re losing your body. When you have a lot to think about and do, you may miss cues from your body. Stress can make you skip meals or overeat, not get enough sleep, drive somewhere that you might normally walk to. In essence, your body becomes the vehicle by which you do what you need to do, rather than something you honor and take care of.
Stress isn’t all bad. It sometimes give you that necessary burst of energy that you need to get stuff done. But when you’re under stress more than you want to be, it’s important to take a step back and de-stress. One of the best ways to do that is to reconnect with your body. Here’s one way to do it:
Take a lovely body lotion (like Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials Body Lotion) and massage it over every part of your body. Go really slowly, focusing on the feeling of your hands on your body. Focus on the sensations that you’re feeling, and if your mind starts to wander, come back to how your body feels. This is like a mini-vacation for your mind and a mini-massage for your body. Plus, your skin will feel amazing!

I am 24 years old and have had a skin disorder since I was 5, my skin turns red when my body temperature raises and then it starts to burn and itch. Luckily using Eucerin really helps. Because I really only use it when my skin starts to burn,I keep all of my bottles in a mini fridge that I have under my vanity in my bathroom (along with a couple bottles of wine hehe.) So after I get out of a cold bath I go straight for the lotion and put it over my entire body. Always smooth even when my disorder acts up. =)
