Maintaining Healthy, Hydrated Skin with an In-Home Spa Day {Giveaway}

Healthy skin is super important for anyone, but, in my experience, women tend to focus on this more than men. I moisturize every day and have done so ever since I was a young girl. My mami taught me to apply lotion every day, and I’m doing the same with my girl. It’s essential that we keep our skin hydrated, especially with our dark complexion, which rapidly shows if we’re not well-mosturized.

We use a variety of lotions, but I’m excited to partner with Eucerin this year, a brand we’ve been using since baby boy was born, due to his eczema. Eucerin has a wide variety of lotions, and cremes, and this month they sent me a complimentary sampling of their products plus a few goodies to have an in-home hydration spa day. Since me-time is something I’ve been working on having more of this year, I welcomed the opportunity to take an afternoon to focus on my skin.

Since Eucerin also makes cleansers, I was able to begin treating my skin from the bath, not just after. From using Eucerin’s hydrating cleanser, anti-wrinkle lotion, and body lotions, to the face mask and cucumber eye pads they also included, I had a lovely and relaxing afternoon right in my home. More importantly, though, I need to continue a skin hydrating routine (beyond the daily moisturizing I already do) and will begin to try some of these tips that Eucerin provided for maintaining healthy skin.

3 Tips for Maintaining Healthy, Hydrated Skin (Provided by Eucerin)

  • Drink lots and lots of water (9-13 cups per day).
  • Eat moisture-rich foods such as vitamin-loaded citrus fruit, nuts, whole grains, broccoli, sunflower seeds, egg yolks, and milk.
  • Protect your skin from sun damage by using lotions with SPF protection, like Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 15 Moisturizing Body Lotion.

You can also check out the Eucerin Skin Solution Center on their Facebook page to see what products Eucerin recommends for your skin and gain more information.

    I use moisturize daily…but I need to get better about using SPF moisturizer. I’ve recently upped my water intake, hopefully in the next month or so I’ll be up to 13 cups a day!

  18. Margaret Smith says

    I try to use a spf moisturizer daily and a couple days each week, I use a nightime moisturizer.

  24. Mya Murphy says

    I rarely moisturize simply because I have oily skin, but I drink loads of water 🙂

  27. Lisa Brown says

    I hydrate my skin with coconut oil then apply a basic moisturizer over it. For the body, just coconut oil. Use a physical sunscreen daily.

    I hydrate by moisterizing as soon as I get out of the shower while skin is still warm. I do drink plenty of water as well. I did tweet your link on twitter and I am a subscriber.

  57. Tari Lawson says

    I don’t really have a skin hydration routine but I am beginning to think I need one.

  61. Stephanie Larison says

    I drink lots of water throughout the day, and I moisturize right out of the shower so my skin soaks it all in.

    I moisturize every morning and night after showering. I try to stay hydrated, not a big fan of plain water, so I add Crystal Light which helps me to drink more.

  75. Vicki Wurgler says

    my skin routine is pretty simple I do drink alot of water and use a moisturize daily plus sunscreen winter and summer

  80. Nancy says

    My routine differs with the season. I always drinks lots of water and my skin loves it. In the summer I make sure I use a seperate SPF all the time and a very light moisturizer. In the winter, I use a moisturizer with SPF in it and more often as my skin is much drier.

  94. Maura says

    Since I moved from the Midwest to the West Coast a few months ago, my whole beauty routine has been thrown off because of the changes in climates. I’ve been having a hard time balancing a routine that works everyday and have been cycling different products to try to figure out what works best here, but haven’t found something I can use consistently on my face. I try really hard to drink lots of water to stay hydrated, but my body is still adjusting to being in a new place.

  104. Loi says

    I use lotion almost everyday, which I guess is half the battle. However, I am the worst drinker of liquids in the Universe!!! Whenever I drink liquids, it is usually water, however I can’t seem to drink more than 40 oz of anything in a day 🙁

  110. SuZ says

    I drink lots of water but tend to skip all the lotions. I know, bad bad bad.

  111. Chelsea says

    Along with tons of water, my secret is coconut oil every night before bed! It’s greasy at first, but soaks in overnight and you wake up with glowing skin.

  112. Wild Orchid says

    I currently cleanse and then moisturize with a Mary Kay moisturizer.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

I usually go through 6 bottles of water or more During the day, so I make sure I stay hydrated the whole day.

  137. Jamie C. says
