I honestly remember the first time I used a dove beauty bar. I was in the homeland (Jamaica) and a my dad had come home with a large amount goodies. My dad does nothing in a small way, so, we literally had Dove Beauty Bars for about a year. When I first used Dove Beauty Bars, I didn’t like it because it didn’t give me that tight feeling on my skin that I had come to associate with being clean (don’t judge me, I was only 11, maybe 12.) However, I noticed that I didn’t have to use as much lotion afterwards and soon realized that the dry, tight feeling my skin got after a shower was not the best way to clean. I think my mom also realized the same thing because she soon started using the beauty bar exclusively on her face.
Fast-forward 20 years and Dove Beauty Bars and more recently, moisturizing body washes, are among my favorite body cleansing products. Dove products leave my skin feeling clean and soft and I now know that retaining moisture in my skin is the first step to making it beautiful.
“Dove is committed to helping women realize their personal beauty potential by engaging them with products that deliver superior care. Dove Body Wash and Beauty Bar give women beautifully soft and smooth skin that they will want to show off.” In celebration, Dove recently launched the “Show Us Your Skin†campaign. The campaign features real women. Any woman with the confidence to show off their skin and take and upload a picture to Dove.com/ShowUsYourSkin or Facebook.com/Dove will appear in a Dove ad – including online ads and a dynamic billboard in the world-renowned Times Square.
