Sweet Dove O’ mine

So, they say that ankle boots, bejeweled bling, and the buzz-worthy “It” bag are musts for the season. But your most important accessory during the “ber” months is still glowing and radiant skin.

And the new Dove skincare collection — a line of lotions and cleansers for the body and face and deodorants as well are specially formulated to provide deep care and reveal the skin’s natural radiance.

To experience Dove’s new line, the brand recently invited members of the press to “Love and Dove Your Day” at Nail Spa, Makati. There was a pampering session for tired hands and feet with Dove products, of course.

“Only Dove gives superior moisturization through its one-fourth moisturizing milk and the gentlest and mildest cleansers that’s perfect even for the most sensitive skin,” says Missy Alejo, assistant brand manager of Dove. “Since over 90 percent of beautiful skin begins with moisture, Dove’s core products truly deliver the best moisture every day.” 

Dove has been a darling to my skin for years. My lola used to order her supply of Dove from relatives abroad and since then I got hooked on it. Because I am one of those femmes who is too lazy to put on lotion, the Dove Bar is perfect for me — it just seals in the moisture and I am ready to go.

Before you begin channeling Rachel McAdams for her porcelain complexion or contemplating a JLo glow, think about this — soap can contain harsh ingredients that leave the skin overly dry and squeaking for help. Dove ensures one fourth moisturizing milk that keeps the skin from aging.

Alejo explains, “Dove wants to provide a complete moisturizing regimen from the beauty cream bars or body wash in the bath, facial foams for gentle cleansing of the face and beauty body lotions to help lift skin to a new level of beauty.”

So it’s time to embrace Dove’s extensive range (with improvements in shape, formulation and packaging) as it gives new life to the skin for super-sexy appeal.

Beauty Bars

Soap is out, and Dove Bars are in. There are five variants to choose from like the original White, Pink, Fresh Moisture, Gentle Exfoliating and Extra Sensitive. Dig this: the Dove Extra Sensitive is the mildest of them all because it is 100-percent fragrance-free, pH-neutral and free of any dyes, so it’s perfect for babies, too.

Body Wash

Since Dove’s Body Wash came out, I have been a fan. It doesn’t take much to feel clean. Just use an ample amount of Beauty Moisture, Fresh Moisture or Exfoliating Body Wash to scrub away dull and dead skin cells, leaving the skin fresh and moisturized.

Body Lotions

After a relaxing shower, indulge by nourishing the skin with Dove Beauty Body lotion. Silk Glow gives a silky shimmering glow with soft, light-reflecting particles. Fresh Touch for normal skin keeps elasticity intact for 24 hours. Firming Beauty Body lotion has been tested on real curves and is for confidently firm skin.

Facial Foams

Just as your body needs to be moisturized, your face needs it more. With Dove’s Facial Foams, your face will be free from gunk instantly. Softening contains pearl protein that moisturizes deep into the skin and refines its texture. Fresh Moisture contains cucumber and green tea ingredients that hydrate and soothe the skin. If you’re looking for a gentle scrubbing solution, try the Exfoliating variant as it made with micro beads to remove dirt, dust and makeup that clog the pores.

Deodorants

Deodorants made with harsh ingredients can leave an icky black skin on the underarms. Dove’s deodorant range contains one-fourth moisturizing milk, same as the other Dove products, so it helps soften, smoothen and whiten the underarms. There’s the stick or roll-ons with either the original powder fresh scent or the Fresh Touch with cucumber and green tea with its fresh, delicious scent that will stay with you all day.

“The Dove experience is simple, uncomplicated, happy, and enduring. Using Dove gives a sense of pure pleasure, a happy feeling of contentment as Dove gently works to make your skin soft and smooth,” concludes Alejo. The Dove range simply feels good and smells good as you let Dove take care of your skin. There is nothing contrived about the brand as it’s all about delivering real beauty that users relate to and build enduring relationships with.”

So let Dove’s new skincare collection put the sexy skin back in. Because beautiful skin should be seen and not heard — get ready for some radiant glow that’s sure to attract attention.
