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!
Plus, this month we have another opportunity for awesome Eucerin swag! Seriously, these prize packs just get better and better. Here’s all you have to do to be registered to win:

The transition into fall I start using vaseline on my hands and cover them with cotton gloves at night. This helps with keeping my hands moisturized along with using eucerin lotion on my hands.
I use this lotion all the time, on my whole body, its the best on the market for dry skin. I use new skin products also on my face its wonderful too. thats NuSkin
It is so hard to leave summer behind, but I would not change locations because I do enjoy the changing seasons here in the Midwest. Warmer clothes help me transition into fall and I start to add moisturizers to my feet and hands so they will stay softer throughout the wintertime. Thank you for the opportunity to enter the Eucerin contest.
To adjust to the weather growing cooler, I moisturize as soon as I get out of the shower and as I am getting ready for bed.
My family love, love, loves, Eucerin products! It is actually all that my mother and father will use.
I am 77 years old now, and I have been using your products ever since the beginning of your company. I have been told that my skin is lovely. The reason is that I have been a tried and true fan of Eucerin all of my adult life. I am a red head with fair skin, psoriasis and diabetes, All of these constitute dry skin. By continuing to use your wonderful, healing products I continue to enjoy all the compliments by people remarking on my complexion and your greatest fan tells them all to start using Eucerin products. Thanks for reading this, it was my pleasure. Eileen Bennett

LOVE Eucerin products.
For me moving into fall is some depression. Cooler temps and shorter days . I’m not an indoor person. But I to know that we need that to kill out the unwonted bugs. Etc. I wil be reading more and scrap booking to get caught up on summer and past events. Hopefully my kids or grand kids will enjoy them later . Now leaves are falling and temps, time for fireplace, soups and conversations with good friends. Have a wonderful fall and winter y’all from Texas.
to transition into fall I am making more soups,burning apple scented candles,baking pumkin muffins to compliment pumkin spice coffee and of course uping my use of eucerin products on myself and more so on my 6 year old who has very senstive skin and exema flare ups this time of year.

I have pulled out my moisturizer body wash and lather up with Eucerin lotion on a daily bases. The cold effects my hands the most so I keep a small Eucerin lotion in my purse and car for that instant softness my hands need. A great product that I do recommend for anyone.
