Eucerin Skin First

Eucerin Skin First Ambassadors, eucerin skin first pledge

 

I hope you have enjoyed the Eucerin Skin first posts, and hopefully you are doing everything you can to protect your skin while you are outdoors enjoying everything that is summer!  Today I have something fun to share with you – it’s all about blueberries and how beneficial they are to your body!

Now that summer is in full swing, everyone is spending more time outdoors. Did you also know that July is National Blueberry Month? This wonderful fruit is a great source of antioxidants which are important for your skin and other vital organs. In addition to helping protect your skin from the sun by using an SPF, avoiding the mid day sun, and wearing protective clothing, there are many other ways to proactively keep your skin healthy. Eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep also help promote healthy skin. Since your skin is the barrier for all of your other organs and the body’s first line of defense, it makes sense that you should feed it the proper nutrients.

If you’re going to any type of a summer event, consider bringing a bowl of fresh blueberries as a dessert. Not only are they delicious, but they’re rich in antioxidants, substances known to fight free radicals that can wreak havoc on the skin. In addition, don’t forget to pack Eucerin’s Everyday Protection Face SPF 30 and Body SPF 15 Lotions. They are great options for everyday use and lightweight.  I have been using Eucerin lotions for months now, and I can honestly say that they are my favorite.  Not only do they protect my skin from sun damage, but they lock in moisture, making my skin feel AWESOME!  I am diligent about using Eucerin face lotion with SPF 30 each and every day, to protect the delicate skin on my face from sun damage and to prevent wrinkles.

  31. I took the pledge, and eating salad with lots of water based veggies helps keep my skin nourished! Love loading it with cucumbers, and watermelon on the side.

  37. I took the pledge. Edamame-Ginger Dip served with carrot sticks is a good recipe for your skin.

  39. Took the pledge!
    Summer recipe benefiting the skin: Basically any %100 vegetable juices are great for the skin, particularly if it has tomato juice as a base because it’s packed with antioxidants including lycopene which helps to protect the skin from a numbers of skin problems including skin cancer. 🙂

  56. I took the pledge. My favorite summer smoothie recipe is 1 cup blueberries fresh frozen, 2 bananas chunked, about 2 tsps. sugar, put into blender. Just about cover with milk. Blend until smooth. This makes at least 3 servings, and is very good.

  58. I have already taken the pledge. My suggestion is blueberry freezer jam. The recipe is on the package of Ball instant fruit pectin.

  67. took the pledge- my best tip is to stay hydrated! If you can’t stomach more water- try flavored ice tea!

  71. I have taken the pledge.

    Ingredients

    8 oz. low-fat vanilla yogurt
    1 cup frozen strawberries, unsweetened

    1/2 C fresh or frozen blueberries
    1/2 C chopped strawberries
    1/2 orange, peeled
    1 C crushed ice

    Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

  86. I took the pledge and my recipe is to drink lots of water. Keeping your body hydrated will in return keep your skin hydrated.

  94. I took the pledge! And my summer recipe is a parfait with Greek yogurt – so refreshing and soothing spa food!

  124. I took the pledge.

    Summer Blueberry Parfaits

    1 cup fresh blueberries, chilled
    1 cup fat free blueberry yogurt
    1 cup organic granola

    Chill 4 parfait glasses. Spoon blueberries equally among them. Top blueberries with equal portions of yogurt. Finish by sprinkling granola in equal portions in each glass. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

  125. I took the pledge. Here’s a little something packed full of vitamins and antioxidants that will nourish your skin…and taste yummy, too!

    Berry Pops

    3/4 pounds strawberries, hulled and sliced
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1/2 cup water
    pinch sea salt
    juice of 1 lemon

    Mix all ingredients in a bowl, allow to sit for about 20 minutes. Put in a blender and puree.

  148. I took the pledge and I love Sunday Best Fruit Salad which has pineapples, apples, peaches, strawberries, bananas and kiwi’s.

  162. I did pledge at Eucerin Facebook page (Eileen Richter)

    and I know avocado, tomatoes, olive oil, and black beans would all be good for our skin and know that cayenne is good for sweating and clearing pores, so I would say the recipe for “Texas Caviar” would be a good recipe for keeping skin healthy and supple during the summer!

    1 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans drained and rinsed
    2-3 medium size tomatoes, chopped (try to remove most of liquid and seeds)
    1 medium sweet onion, chopped
    1 chopped jalapeno pepper
    1 packet dry Italian dressing seasoning
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 cup canned baby corn
    2 avocados – peeled, pitted, and chopped
    2 cloves garlic
    Cayenne, black, and white pepper & Lawry’s season salt to taste!

    I serve with organic blue corn chips!

    thanks!
