Dove Winter Care Body Wash with NutriumMoisture Review

Dove Winter Care Body Wash Dove Winter Care Body Wash with NutriumMoisture Review

Even though it’s been a somewhat warm winter, it is still winter. In fact, we had our first snow of the year yesterday. With winter comes the snow, colder temperatures, and dry skin. Thankfully, one of my favorite skin care brands has come out with something new to help me. It’s the Dove Winter Care Body Wash. Available in stores until March, it’s the perfect body wash for this time of the year.

It’s the only mass-market body wash to feature Glycinate – primarily featured in high-end facial products – which Dove® combines with the brand’s NutriumMoisture® technology for their mildest and most caring formula yet. It not only helps replenish essential nutrients and nourish skin deep down, but also has an amazing lather so women no longer have to compromise!

Dove is so confident that their new body wash is better than everything else on the market, you can even take the body wash test online. Actually, that test is really fun. It compares the new Dove Winter Care Body Wash with several other body washes by applying some to a piece of paper and then dropping it into a container of water which the model shakes up. The Dove Body Wash leaves the paper intact, while others ruin it. I was surprised by how harsh many of the other body washes are (even ones I’ve used).

I have been trying out the Dove Winter Care Body Wash for the past week or so. Once again, Dove doesn’t disappoint. The body wash is so much thicker and creamier than what I’ve been using. It’s more like a lotion when it’s viewed beside my other stuff. In fact, I have to literally rub the wash on and off. Then, when I get out of the shower, my skin is soft and smooth (instead of tight and dry).

I’m convinced that the Dove Winter Care Body Wash is the only body wash for me right now. It keeps my skin moisturized, even in the dead of winter. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Third Annual Dove Self-Esteem Weekend

 Third Annual Dove Self Esteem Weekend

As you may recall, I absolutely love Dove Beauty. Most recently I hosted a Dove VisibleCare Toning Creme Body Wash Giveaway but I have featured several wonderful Dove beauty products. I love that they are moisturizing and make my skin feel great. Now, I have yet another reason to adore them. Right now (October 5th until October 7th) is the Third Annual Dove(R) Self-Esteem Weekend! It kicked off today with a

“Walk the Talk” with mentors and girls from their partner organizations (Girls, Inc., Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and Girl Scouts of the U.S.A), by marching in silence to the heart of Times Square. They marched in silence to represent all the conversations about beauty anxiety that haven’t taken place.

You can participate in this beautiful endeavor by having a conversation with a young girl in your life. Tell her how to have a great relationship with her beauty. I know for a fact how difficult it can be to accept your body at a young age. Being in the schools everyday as a sub now, I see just how mean kids are to one another. It takes thick skin to keep your head up and build self-esteem now. As an adult, we need to let young girls know that it’s important to love themselves. To correspond with this touching weekend, Dove has provided a “Let’s Talk” toolkit to help us communicate this this weekend. It includes things such as:

* How to talk to a girl in your life about self-esteem
* Real-life scenarios of when you could have a talk with a girl in your life
* How to replicate a “Let’s Talk” rally in your neighborhood

I am so proud to support a company that leads young girls to be supportive of one another and builds self-esteem. I hope you are able to talk with a young one in your life this weekend to help her transition from a child to a beautiful woman peacefully. You can see all of the ways you can get involved with the Dove Self-Esteem Weekend on their site.

Disclosure: I will be receiving a gift card and Dove® Self-Esteem charm bracelet to share in my conversation with a young girl. The opinions expressed are my own.

Dove VisibleCare Toning Creme Body Wash Giveaway

Dove® VisibleCare™ Toning Crème Body Wash 121x300 Dove VisibleCare Toning Creme Body Wash Giveaway

As you already know, Dove is one of my favorite brands for beauty products. I really enjoy getting to work with Dove because their products are so high quality and they promote many good messages. I recently had the opportunity to try their newest body wash and am happy to share my thoughts on it as well as info about their newest promotion with you.

I just love the moisturizing benefits of Dove products that simply can’t be matched by other brands. My skin instantly feels smoother and looks healthier whenever I use one of their products. The newest product is no different. The Dove® VisibleCare™ Toning Crème Body Wash is fabulous! I LOVE Dove body wash, so I was excited to try this one. All of their body washes (that I’ve tried) are thick and creamy which means they aren’t just some liquid that’s going to wash off down the drain of your tub. They really go onto skin nicely and get skin looking and feeling its best. This new body wash also has the highest concentration of NutriumMoisture™ of the Dove body washes and added Vitamin E to promote skin elasticity. It is great for summer since we are going swimming and are outside more often. It also has that nice light scent I’m used to from Dove. It is definitely one of my new favorite body washes. Thanks, Dove!

Additionally, there is a cool Dove Show Us Your Skin promotion going on right now. You simply upload a picture of your great looking self (and skin thanks to Dove) on their Facebook page. Everyone who uploads their picture will be shown in their online gallery and some will be selected to be featured on a billboard in the famous Times Square! This is part of Dove’s movement to feature real women in their ads. I think there is something unique and beautiful about that approach. I mean I would rather see a woman like me (not famous with imperfections) looking great than some celebrity (who already looks good) in an ad. So, check out the Dove Show Us Your Skin promo now to see your beautiful face online and possibly in NYC.

Dove Clear Tone Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Giveaway

Dove Clear Tone Skin Renew 124x300 Dove Clear Tone Anti Perspirant Deodorant Giveaway

I’ve been lucky enough to feature Dove reviews several times now and every time I’m very pleased with the quality of their products. Dove continues to make moisturizing beauty products. They are always coming out with something new that is better than other products on the market. Recently, they have come out with the Dove Clear Tone Antiperspirant/Deodorant. It is the first and only U.S. deodorant designed to reduce red and dark marks and even skin tone.

Thirty two million women in the U.S. reportedly experience underarm red and dark marks. The reason? We tend to neglect moisturizing this part of our body, which is an important step that reduces the dryness and irritation caused by shaving. Dove® Clear Tone Antiperspirant/Deodorant is specially formulated with Calendula and Sunflower Seed Extracts, which contain added moisture, to help repair irritated skin and even skin tone over time with regular use.

I find it hard to keep my underarms moisturized, especially in the warmer months when I shave them more often. So, I was really happy to be able to try this new product from Dove. This new formula comes in three different variations:

* Skin Renew Invisible Solid – Light floral notes of violet, lilac and rose with vanilla musk.
* Sheer Touch Invisible Solid – Light citrus notes with hints of almond and coconut milk.
* Clinical Protection Renew – Offers prescription strength wetness protection with the maximum level of active ingredients (20%) available without a prescription.

I was able to try the Skin Renew Invisible Solid and Clinical Protection Renew. I am pleased to say these products really help my underarms. They definitely have kept them smooth, something that is hard to do. My underarms are no longer red, either. I don’t show off my underarms since they usually look nasty to me. In fact, I usually hide them from my boyfriend. However, I no longer fear having them show (if they have been shaved recently). My underarms actually look nice now (if that’s possible).

I also appreciate the subtle, feminine scent of these products. I am always afraid that a clinical protection deodorant (which I almost always use) will make me smell like a man. This one doesn’t do that. It makes me feel girly for sure. I prefer the Clinical Protection Renew for days I know I’m going to be sweating lots (like on days I workout or it’s going to be really warm in the classroom) and the Skin Renew Invisible Solid on days I’m just lounging around or hanging out. It’s nice to have two different kinds to mix it up a bit. Overall, they are both great antiperspirant deodorants that will get your underarms looking nicer in time for the warmer months.

Dove Nourishing Oil Care #Giveaway

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Dove Nourishing Oil Care #Giveaway

A few weeks ago, I posted about the Dove Make Friends with Your Hair Contest and I told you to be on the lookout for a review and giveaway from Dove Hair Care. So, I’m happy to finally post that.

I recently got to try the Dove Nourishing Oil Care product line (pictured above). The shampoo has a nice look and consistency to it. I think the addition of the oil makes it have a unique feeling to it which really moisturizes my hair. The regular conditioner in the line pairs just perfectly with the shampoo. They work together to really help my hair out.

I just love the daily treatment conditioner. I love that you can actually see the two different kinds of product in this conditioner. The White Stripe seals the cuticle and the Gold Stripe has the special oils. Once again, it has a really beautiful look to it. It also does a great job of keeping my hair feeling soft.

The other two products in the line are for use after you wash your hair. The leave-in smoothing cream de-frizzes hair and makes it shinier! The anti-frizz serum is great for use prior to drying your hair or touch ups. It is available only at Walgreens though.

I really like this new line of Dove Hair Care products. They keep my hair moisturized without making it look oily. Once again, I LOVE Dove! icon biggrin Dove Nourishing Oil Care #Giveaway

Dove VisibleCare Crème Body Wash Review

Dove VisibleCare Crème Body Wash 224x300 Dove VisibleCare Crème Body Wash Review

I recently had the chance to try the new Dove® VisibleCare™ Renewing Crème Body Wash. It’s one of the 2 new body washes from Dove.

It has the highest concentration of NutriumMoisture™ yet which contains skin-natural building blocks to help improve skin’s look over time, giving you visible results in just 1 week when used daily. Dove® VisibleCare™ Crème Body Washes are available in two formulas: Renewing, which nourishes and replenishes, and Softening, which softens skin and dry spots.

This body wash is wonderful. It actually comes out as a thicker substance that most body washes. It’s almost like a lotion. It smells pretty nice, too. Then, it leaves my skin feeling great! My skin is moisturized and smooth. It’s the perfect body wash to transition from winter to spring since we’ll be showing more skin.

I also wanted to share with my readers an exciting contest from Dove. However, you better enter NOW, because it ends tomorrow!

To show that looking your best is more than hair and makeup, Dove® is inviting real women everywhere to create a video up to 60-seconds in length sharing why they are ready for their close-up experience. The selected woman will receive a weeklong all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles where she will get an authentic “Dancing with the Stars” experience including training with a performer from the show, confidence coaching by Jennie Garth and the ultimate opportunity: a “finale” of her own. She will get to show off her smooth moves and beautiful skin in front of America when she dances in a Dove-sponsored TV spot in the season finale of “Dancing with the Stars” Monday, May 23 (8:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Check out the Dove Close-Up Challenge for your chance to win! But, be quick! The contest ends tomorrow night!

Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner Review

I received some of Dove’s new conditioners to review! I was excited to receive these conditioners because Dove Hair Care products have been reformulated and have Fiber Actives that help heal the damage done to your hair. The products contain a Micro Moisture serum that protects and repairs your hair.

Using Dove’s Most Advanced technology, these conditioners make your hair smooth! I used the Intensive Repair Conditioner on days that I straighten my hair and feel that it needs something extra to make up for the damage. This conditioner does feel a bit ticker than some other conditioners, but in a good way. It does a great job at restoring my hair’s moisture!

I use the Daily Treatment Conditioner on days that I do not stress my hair. This conditioner feels light and airy. It gives my hair a nice moisturization that isn’t oily. It doesn’t weigh my hair down either! I think both conditioners have a light scent that isn’t overpowering. Both conditioners do a great job repairing the damage I’ve caused to my hair. They make my hair shiny and healthy!
