Eucerin Skin First!

While I was in New York, I had an opportunity to stop by the Eucerin booth at the Expo and picked up a wonderful gift bag full of GENEROUS FULL SIZE Eucerin products. I've long been a fan of Eucerin, given my skin's propensity to go completely, inexplicable insanely itchy in reaction to all manner of environmental triggers. In addition to using prescription allergy medication, I have been on the hunt for some kind of itch relieving skin lotion to apply in the mornings. A few weeks before I went to New York, I purchased a bottle of their Calming Itch Relief Treatment to use as a daily moisturizer for my body. I was pleased to finally find an itch relieving product that did not burn or make my skin uncomfortably tingly like other brands I've tried in the past. Hence why I was so giddy to pick up a trio of full size products at their booth. 

In the gift bag was the following:

Eucerin® Daily Skin Balance Fortifying Body Lotion and Daily Skin Balance Hand Crème

and 

Eucerin® Everyday Protection Face Lotion 

I tried the body lotion and hand creme immediately- and not shockingly, they were both great.  The body lotion is the perfect amount of richness for everyday use- plenty moisturizing without being so thick that you cannot get dressed right after application.  And the hand creme was easily absorbed, which is really important as I apply hand lotion several times a day.  I wash my hands frequently at work to avoid getting sick and I need something that isn't too thick.

The face lotion, however, I tried with a little trepidation.  My skin care routine is something I have down to an art.  And I tend to favor expensive department store lotions and potions for my face.  Given my propensity to break out and react poorly to new products, I was worried that I was setting myself up for disappointment.

Thankfully, I was wrong- I love this product!  It moisturizes my oily skin perfectly, without causing it to be greasy.  It absorbs easily, and best of all, despite the fact that it is SPF 30, it doesn't smell like SPF and it doesn't sting my eyes like other drugstore brands I've recently tried.  I am sold!

Recently, Eucerin contacted me about giving away TWO gift bags to my readers (I am receiving no compensation for this review and giveaway).  To be entered to win one of the bags, just leave a comment below and tell me how you are protecting your skin against aging and skin cancer!
