Stop that scratching!

This time of year is the worst for my skin. I keep finding myself scratching my arms, legs and even my belly throughout the night. Last night Mr. S complained that his skin was itchy as well. If Clem the mini-bull-terrier showed signs of scratching I’d be worried, but since he hasn’t and I looked down at my legs that look like a replica of the Sahara I knew that summer was over and winter is approaching. For me DRY ITCHY SKIN is the first sign.

I also tend to be less vigilant about putting on moisturizer and cream the minute I stop wearing shorts and skirts and start wearing slacks and jeans. It’s that “no one can see them, so why bother?” attitude. Last night I suffered to the point where I couldn’t fall asleep because I was so itchy. You’d think that as a Eucerin ambassador I’d have immediately popped up out of bed to slather on some Calming Itch Relief Treatment!!

After my initial bout of laziness, I marched into the bathroom and grabbed my bottle and covered every inch of epidermis, and experienced blissful RELIEF. I swear that I need to make a New Year’s resolution to be pro-active with my skin care this year. It should be easy, especially since I’m already armed with:

Eucerin Calming Crème (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.
Eucerin Plus Smoothing Essentials Fast Absorbing Body Lotion (16.9 fl. oz.) has a unique formula with buffered alpha hydroxy that gently smoothes and moisturizes to reveal healthier-looking, radiant skin.
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 Itch-Relief (6.8 fl. oz.) is a non-greasy formula calms itchy skin flare-ups with cooling menthol and natural oatmeal for effective relief that lasts up to 8 hours.

The one application made me realize that just because I’m not running around baring a lot of skin this season, that I still need to treat it RIGHT. I placed the Eucerin Calming Body Wash into the shower and the Eucerin Calming Cream right on the vanity, so that I don’t forget to use it IMMEDIATELY upon drying off. The Calming Itch-Relief formula is now sitting next to the bed, in case I get the night-time itchies again, and I always keep Eucerin hand cream in my car. There…I’m all set now.
