Transitioning Into Autumn

I’m a little biased about October. It’s my favorite month of the year. Here in New York, October always signals cooler weather, changing leaves, and for me, my birthday! (Hi, Libras & Scorpios!)

But October is also a month about transitions, and transitions, though necessary, can be challenging for both mind and body.

Eucerin Smoothing Essentials Body Lotion & Calming Creme (Just Part Of The October Eucerin Giveaway)

One way to ease this transition for our minds is to feel gratitude. Take a moment to feel gratitude for shifts and changes. Feel gratitude for what was, what is, and what will be. Remind yourself that transitions and change are a necessary and wonderful part of life.

And for your body, take some time to notice how your body’s needs may have changed. As it gets colder, maybe you’re craving more soups and cooked vegetables. Maybe you need to rest a little more. Or maybe the cooler weather is energizing you and you want to move more.

As for skincare, see what changes might feel good.  I’m really enjoying using the Eucerin Calming Crème right now!

  1. I really dont know how to calm the itch enough,My 7 year old has severe eczema that she scratches till she bleeds.The eucerin helps alot but i cant always afford it having 3 other children and 2 more with severe health problems.Please give me some ideas i have even tried prescriptions.

  3. I am transitioning in autumn by cooking all my favorite comfort foods, like hot soups and homemade mac n cheese. Also by taking hot, relaxing bathes in the evenings before bed.

  4. I’ve tried other products, and Eucerin is the best! My husband gets dry skin and his doctor his put Eucerin at the top of the list of recommended products.

  5. My transition into Fall requires a complete change of skin care as well as my wardrobe. I switch to creams instead of gel, body butters and olive oil instead of lotions, and to a moisturizing soap instead of body wash.
    Another thing I do is to switch my clothes to beautiful fall colors…I get out those boots, and sweaters and hats, to feel chic!

  6. I always, always, always have a travel-sized bottle of lotion in my book bag and in my purse. I also carry lip balm in my pocket, but that’s an everyday thing.

  10. To help my skin beat the winter dryness and stay moisturized, I apply lotion twice a day instead of once and use a lotion shower cream instead of a clean gel. I also start to take a good skin vitamin!
