The temperature keep changing from cold to windy, oh no, we shouldn’t forget our skin. I don’t want to leave my skin dry after shower. I feel Dove bar soap works better than I expected it as Dove contains ¼ moisturizing cream. It is effective to moisturize and beautify our skin. It leaves your face and body smelling good. I consider to use it if every woman have sensitive skin.

We know men also needs to moisturize their skin in this cold months. Before, I give white dove bar shop to my husband. Now, I am happy to tell you that Dove Men + Care, Dove’s first-ever product line specifically formulated for men.

Dove Men’s Grooming Kit arrived in a beautiful Samsonite “Hommage” Toiletry Bag. It  is coated with stain-repellent Teflon and easy to clean it if something spill. Bronze natural color is very stylish for men to carry it for travel. It has durable construction and leather trim for an elegant, long-lasting classic look. This kit has more space enough to hold 4 Dove Mens+Care products.

Dove® Men+Care™ Extra Fresh Body and Face Wash with MICROMOISTURE technology is clinically proven to fight skin dryness better than regular men’s body wash. My husband loves clean and refresh scent. You can’t resemble this scent to flower or fruit. It’s good for men to use for body and face if they have sensitive skin.

Dove® Men+Care™ Extra Fresh Body and Face Bar contains ¼ moisturizing cream and an invigorating scent is clinically proven to fight skin dryness. It thoroughly cleanses and rinses off easily without leaving skin feeling dry and tight like regular soap does. For total skin comfort and extra refreshment. I feel like trying it but, it’s especially designed only for men.

Dove® Men+Care™ Active Clean Dual Sided Shower Tool works with body wash for extra scrubbing power you can’t get from just using your hands. He says that it is better than regular bath sponge. It has an integrated scrubber to provide a deep clean to the body and soften rough and dry skin; suitable for use on the elbows, knees, and feet. The other side of the tool is an interlocking mesh design that is to be used in conjunction with body wash for building a thick lather. Designed for use in the shower and to be replaced every four to six weeks to maintain results.

Dove® Men+Care™ Energy Spice Deodorant The first scented deodorant from Dove specifically designed to give men powerful. And so he doesn’t need an expensive perfume. 48-hour protection against underarm odor with a non-irritant formula.

Dr. Carolyn Jacob, a board certified dermatologist and Dove Men + Care expert offers skin care tips for men. With a plethora of new men’s products on the market, it’s important to be informed. Here are some of her top tips for the upcoming winter season.
• Wipe out winter blues with a hydrating body wash. Although men can tolerate stronger facial products than women (they have thicker skin and typically more oil glands), they are still prone to dry skin in the winter. Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash is clinically proven to fight skin dryness without irritation and will help men avoid winter dryness.

• Don’t sweat it – embarrassing sweat stains are the pits. For years only women had a large choice of antiperspirants since sweat may be “macho” for men but not attractive for women. The truth is many men suffer from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which is why stronger antiperspirants like Dove Men+Care Clinical Protection are available for men today. This antiperspirant provides prescription strength protection against wetness while also guarding against odor.

• Simplify skincare. Many men aren’t interested or don’t have the time for a daily grooming routine, but it’s easy to keep your skin healthy looking. Wash your face twice a day, and put moisturizer with sunscreen on in the morning. It is that simple!

• Cleanse daily for clear skin. Refresh your skin and wash away stubborn impurities by cleansing your face at least once a day. For normal to dry skin use a moisturizing cleanser and for break-out prone skin avoid oil-based products. If that doesn’t do the trick, visit your dermatologist and get a topical medication that will help to prevent breakouts.

• Moisture is the key to care. Dove research shows that most men blame their socks for the dry, itchy skin on their legs. It may be your socks, but I’d say switching to products that contain built in moisturizers, like Dove Men+Care Body and Face Wash, and taking short showers that are lukewarm will solve this problem. The Dove Men+Care Body and Face Wash contains ultra-light micromoisture technology that boosts the skin’s natural moisture barrier to combat dryness and fight against irritation. Applying moisturizer immediately after showering is also helpful, as it will trap the water and hydrate your skin.

• Understand your skin. Individuals with darker skin tones tend to have oily skin and should wash their face twice a day. Additionally, products that contain both moisturizing and cleansing ingredients like the Dove Men+Care Deep Clean micromoisture Body and Face Wash that cleanses and moisturizes with purifying grains are great because they prevent visible dry spots, which are a common problem for those with darker pigments.

• Travel with your moisturizing essentials. While travelling can help you wind-down, it is not so kind on your skin. Airplanes are extremely dry and can affect your skin severely, which is why it’s always important to hydrate and moisturize before and after you take off! I’d recommend packing TSA friendly Dove Men+Care Body and Face bar, which fights dryness with Dove signature ¼ moisturizing cream. Also, when visiting a dry climate, pack a heavier facial lotion or cream with sunscreen and for more humid environments, be sure to bring a lighter facial lotion with sunscreen.

• Fight underarm discomfort with Dove Men+Care Antiperspirants. Dove Men+Care global research found that over 50% of men experience some form of underarm discomfort. Dove Men+Care antiperspirants combine powerful 48 hour odor and wetness protection with a non-irritating formula that’s tough on sweat, not on skin.

• Know your grooming aisle. The simple but technologically advanced Dove Men+Care product line makes it the #1 dermatologist choice, making it easier for guys to navigate the men’s grooming aisle, packed with products that have exploded onto drug store shelves. Arm yourself with knowledge they next time you visit a “guy aisle” and know what products are right for you.

Inspired from the survey insights, Ivory recently launched The Soap Dish, a light-hearted social community that offers women an outlet to share in the everyday humor and honesty of their lives in an unapologetic manner. The community lives on the Ivory Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ivory) and is a place where today’s modern mom can come and dish – share opinions, ideas and maybe a little attitude on what it is that makes her life so complicated. As host of The Soap Dish, Melissa McCarthy invites Ivory fans and followers to join her in dishing about everyday topics ranging from motherhood, marriage and meatloaf to much more.

The complete survey questions and results will be shared throughout The Soap Dish community, where Ivory encourages women to laugh, live and share their everyday issues with others. To stay connected with Ivory, visit us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ivory) and on Twitter (www.twitter.com/ivory).

“As part of Ivory’s modern day makeover, which began with the unveiling of our new packaging design and advertising campaign, we sought to tap into the everyday opinions and attitudes of today’s busy mom,” said Jay Sethi, Ivory brand manager. “What we found was today’s moms have an unyielding desire for honest, down-to-earth, simple yet social connections with other women and moms.”

I struggle to find bath products. One product, I always skip is Ivory as its brand was spending “very little” on advertising . I feel so good when I was sampled Ivory products to try. I love to spend sometime alone in the shower. It lathers well with its new scent leaving me cleaned and smell fresh. I love all the new scents that Ivory recently introduced Lavendar, Aloe, and Simple Clean. It is simple and pure that do not contain dyes or heavy perfumes.

I love to share every day humour and get advise with other moms in Soap Dish community. It would be more fun and connect with other new moms in this modern community.

I love to use natural shampoo that leaves my hair full volume and smooth. Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC) Aromatherapy Hair Care Moisture Plus Shampoo is the best to use daily if you are looking for natural shampoo that contains no harmful chemicals. I have found that I was completely wrong to use any shampoo that smells great containing Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). These two worst chemical ingredients damage my hair and leave my sensitive scalp irritated the next two days. I also noticed much less hair loss in and out of the shower. This shampoo has helped me to strengthen and improved the condition of my hair naturally.

BWC Daily Benefits Conditioner is a natural, plant-based formula that restores your hairs soft lustre, healthy shine, and manageability. Natures revitalizing botanical conditioners combined with natural plant proteins and select vitamins, moisturize, protect, and add body to each hair strand while helping to eleminate static fly-aways and reduce frizz. Pure premium aroma-therapeutic essential oils help repair, strengthen, and condition your hair for a fresh, no build-up, natural look. Your hair will be silky smooth, bright, and healthy after every treatment. For extra daily protection use BWC. Leave-in Conditioner.
No tested on animals
No animal ingredients
Paraben Free
100% vegan–vegetarian
100% Pure Premium Essential Oshadhi Essential Oils

I love BWC Fragrance Free Body Care Hand & Body Lotion easily absorbs into an extensive dry skin. I am happy to find this product free of parabens and harsh preservatives. I can feel softness of my skin as it has a Shea butter, jojoba, and kukui nut base, plus organic aloe-vera gel, arnica and calendula with nofragrance. You will get herbel smell when opened for the first use and it will disperse quickly. This is the best lotion, I ever tried. It can be used for everyone. It can also be applied for any cuts or scratches not only for the dry and sensitive skin. It deeply moisturizes with these essential oils leaving your skin firmer and healthy. Must try it.

This lotion also comes in travel size. It is nice to keep it in purse and use it every time you wash your hands. Keep your hands relieve from itching and dryness. I love to switch it to all these wonderful natural products!!
