HOT DRUGSTORE FIND OF THE WEEK: Eucerin Daily Skin Balance Hand Creme

Hello Divas!

I am a living testimony that if you have faith, God will supply all of your needs.  Faith really makes life simple.

Well when I was trying to figure out what I was going to blog about for the "Hot Drugstore Find of the Week," I had my Eucerin Daily Skin Balance hand creme out.  I had just applied it to relieve my cracked, dry hands.  This Winter weather has been brutal on them!  But I am so glad I have my Eucerin hand creme to get me through the day.

My family has used Eucerin for years.  As a child, my Aunt would give us samples of Eucerin lotion from the hospital.  My little luxe son has a mild case of Eczema and I use Eucerin on his skin to keep it hydrated and blemish free.  I never used their hand creme until I attended Blogher 2010.  Eucerin was a vendor in the Expo Hall and they were giving out samples.  Of course, I grabbed one.  I had not used the hand creme until this Winter and since I have been using it, I am in love with it.  I use it so much, I am running out to CVS today to purchase some more.

This hand creme is beyond awesome! It is super super hydrating.  It instantly gets rids of dry skin.  My hands are smooth and soft all day long.  I really do not need to constantly re-apply the lotion unless I wash my hands.  I also use it on the luxe kids in the a.m.  I put it on their little arms and hands before sending them off to school.

In addition, Eucerin's Daily Skin Balance hand creme has a patent-pending formula that contains provitamin B5, glycerin and a pH5 buffer.

Eucerin Daily Skin Balance Hand Creme retails for $5.59, a steal, and you can purchase it online here or at any CVS.

Toodles!

Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion

Winter's coming soon and before your sensitive skin gets those chapped hands, it's best to protect them now! The formula for the Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion contains ceramides to create a barrier to protect your skin from the environment as well as provide relief. I have super sensitive skin and this past week, my hands were already red and flaky. :( At the SHAPE Pilates for Pink event earlier this month, Curel was there to display some of their new products including the Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion. I was able to try and even though it wasn't that cold in early October, my hands felt noticeably smoother and moisturized.

California Baby Calendula Everyday Lotion

Hello Divas!

I hope all is well in your world!

Sometimes I discuss fashion or beauty products for luxe baby. Yes, luxe baby is a little Diva and she has to have the best of the best! LOL! I am currently in LOVE with California Baby's Calendula Everyday Lotion. This lotion is the bomb! First, the lotion is 100% organic! I just simply can not use anything full of chemicals on her beautiful delicate skin! It contains the active botanical, Calendula. Calenduala has wonderful healing properties that are proven to relieve irritation and itching due to eczema, poison ivy/oak/sumac, chickenpox, sunburn and insect bites. It is also non-comedogenic so it will not clog pores. Also it is super moisturizing but non-greasy. When I put it on luxe baby, it immediately absorbs into her skin. Plus it smells just lovely! It is infused with French Lavender. Luxe baby loves it! When I apply the lotion on her after bathe time, she holds out her little hand and rubs it on her body. Like mommy like daughter! Love it! And of course the lavender instantly puts her to sleep. What is there not to love about this lotion???!!!

Also, the website claims this lotion is a great facial moisturizer. Yep, especially if you have normal to oily skin or acne prone skin. The Calendula is good for the acne! Go figure. I love a two for one deal! You can purchase California Baby Calendula Everyday Lotion online here or at any Whole Foods. It retails for $11.49.
