Eucerin, a Beiersdorf brand, issued the results of a survey highlighting the unobvious external factors that play a role in the health of moms' skin.

The findings included: Climate, family and social Connections, Career stress and constantly changing skin Care regimens as the primary culprits that impact the health of mom's skin. Eucerin calls these external factors the "The 4 C's" of skin health.

The survey revealed that due to these factors, nearly all mothers (94%) consider their day-to-day life to be a little stressful and when they're strapped for time, it's not uncommon for their skincare regimen to take a back seat.

In fact, findings revealed that over one-third (32%) of moms admit that they're most likely to abandon their skincare routine when busy, and to make matters worse, more than half (56%) of them feel stressed when unable to complete their regular skincare routine, sending them into a cycle of stress and skin issues.

To help them break the cycle, Eucerin has partnered with board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D. to identify ways moms can be more aware of the "4 C's" and the role they play in skin health.

According to Dr. Tanzi, "The survey results confirm what I see in my practice every day - a majority of my patients think they are taking care of their skin, but they often don't realize how sensitive it can be to unsuspecting factors. 

"Taking a moment of calm is a simple way to combat the challenges your skin faces from the 4 C's," said Carole Rissmann, VP Marketing at Beiersdorf, Inc. "Our Skin Calming line of products gives moms and their skin a chance to breathe by preventing and relieving dry, itchy skin, so they can focus on the people and the things that matter most." 

Additional compelling survey findings from the study to come tomorrow.
