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:

Transitioning is not a problem. I used Eucerin winter, spring summer and fall. I have very dry skin and this is the only product I have found that is not 90% water. I love the way my skin feels, it even smooths out the heels! Love it!
I Love this lotion!!! I’m a nurse so I’m constantly having to wash my hands. This lotion helps keep the dryness away. As for fall–getting all my cozy blankets out and washed; ready for when the cold comes.
As the weather gets cooler and the colors of the leaves change, it just seems right to have a nice cup of hot cider at my side while I wrap myself up in the love of family and friends. Happy Fall!
we only use ucerin in our home, love the sfp formula in the summer
I’ve been trying to find something that will keep up with my sons dry skin. i see it already is becoming rough, red and itchy. The calming cream sounds like it might be what we need.
I just get crafty and enjoy the new season. annettestandrod(at)gmail.com
for me a good body lotion with moisturiser works throughout the year with the change of any season….and Eucerin is a WONDERFUL product….it works
Drinking more water and using a humidifier in the house.
With the colder weather, I find myself drinking a lot more hot tea, and needing to moisturize more often. Fortunately it hasn’t been a cold or wet October here, but the nights are definitely chillier and make me want to cuddle up in a blanket or fleece top.
It does’nt take much for me to transition into this weather, its my favorite time of the year. I live in FL.so the cooler weather is welcomed change. I start taking out some of my warmer clothes,stock up on candles,aromatherapy bath salts, pumpkin spice scented air freshner, oh and dont forget the wine and some good magazines because In this kind of weather there is nothing better than relaxing in a nice hot bath with a good bath salt, surronded by candles and the aroma of a pumpkin spice in the air with a good glass of wine and then put on a soft pair of sweats (from the victoria secret pink collection) and curl up with a good magazine reading up on whats trendy this fall and winter seasons. but thats just me..lol..
