Love the Dove - Review and Giveaway

There are soap, gels, lotions and bathing products galore on store shelves these days. Especially with the holidays coming up, the beautiful baskets of these products tempt me immensely. But I pass them by. Why? Because of my sensitive skin! Only a select few natural (and oh-so costly) soaps, bath gels and lotions are safe for me to use.

But the one, most commonly available, exception to this rule has always been DOVE! That always surprised me. But now I know why.

That's because Dove soap doesn't leave behind a layer of soap scum left on my skin. It is the same gross film left on shower walls and curtains - ewww! And this on top of soap being generally drying to one's skin, and perhaps even contributing to the appearance of fine lines. The good news is that the Dove Beauty Bar cleans and only leaves natural moisturizers, not soap scum on skin.

It cleans like soap, but because it contains ¼ moisturizing cream and is pH neutral, it provides a milder action helping to retain natural moisture for softer, smoother feeling skin. It is suitable for all skin types. The soft, light scent is an added bonus.

• The dry, tight “squeaky” feeling experienced after washing with soap is caused by soap scum and is what many people associate with being clean
• Soap scum is created when soap mixes with calcium in hard water (found in the majority of US homes)

The makers of Dove introduced dramatic proof in a new television ad to demonstrate the invisible soap scum on skin that regular soap leaves behind. This shocking national spot features two women conducting an identical beauty regime – one washing with soap and the other with Dove. The woman who washes with soap is left covered in an artistic representation of soap scum while the woman who washes in Dove has clean, healthy-looking skin. View Video
