Dove Visibly Smooth Antiperspirant/Deodorant

I know deodorant is not the most fun part of a girl's beauty routine, but I do think it has an effect on your overall scent. Therefore it is important to not only find a deodorant that works and keeps you dry, but one that smells awesome too.

Dove's new line of deodorants, Visibly Smooth, claims to minimize the the look and feel of your underarm hair over time. It contains a new formula called Pro-Epil Complex. Pro-Epil Complex is a mixture of ingredients that contains the famous Dove 1/4 Translucent Moisturizers™ and sunflower oil. Within weeks of regular use, Pro-Epil Complex is supposed to make underarm hair feel softer, finer and easier to remove.

I have been using it for a few weeks now, and although I can't notice too much of a change, I am very happy with it... because I love the scent offerings. I have tried both Wild Rose and Nature Fresh and I love them both. My underarms are doing well, no irritation to speak off and very few pesky red bumps. Maybe because I am good at scrubbing them as Dove recommends in their new at-home beauty treatment called The PitiCure™:

A PitiCure is to your underarms as a pedicure is to your feet. It removes impurities, cleanses the underarms and minimizes the look and feel of underarm hair over time in three simple steps:

• Step 1: Use gentle exfoliating scrub or wipes to cleanse underarms helping to draw out impurities. Impurities in the underarm area can cause unwanted underarm irritation (e.g., folliculitis/ingrown hair); exfoliation and cleansing will help to relieve this.
• Step 2: Rinse off and gently dry underarms with towel
• Step 3: Apply Dove Visibly Smooth antiperspirant/deodorant

For best results, repeat this body treatment as needed and apply Dove Visibly Smooth antiperspirant/deodorant as part of your daily beauty routine.

De-odor Lovely!

Dove's Latest Film Project The Women Behind "The Women"

If you haven't seen images and video clips from Dove's Real Beauty Campaign, you must have been living under a rock for the last few years. Their use of real, normal, multi-shaped/colored/sized women to advertise their products has been innovative and inspiring. They are continuing this campaign with their latest project in collaboration with the feature film, The Women, out in theaters today, Friday September 12th.Dove worked with film director Diane English to create a short film called The Women Behind “The Women.” This short film follows 16-year-old teen journalist Cammy Nelson behind-the-scenes of The Women to learn, first-hand, how Hollywood creates the images we see on screen, highlighting the work and people involved in making a major motion picture come to life.

The short film encourages women to challenge today’s beauty stereotypes, celebrates the opportunities for women to empower one another and explores the diverse definitions of beauty, shared through interviews with some of the cast and crew of The Women. The Women Behind “The Women” is available exclusively on Dove.com.

I'm going to see the movie next Friday will a group of ladies from work. Should be tons of fun. I loved the original film from 1939, so I'm curious to see how well they re-did it. It has so many great actresses in it (Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes) that it has to be good. If you go see it first, don't tell me what happens!

Dove sent me a few products to try as well, their Cool Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner and another stick of their wonderfully silky deodorant in Smooth Cashmere. I actually like the hair products a lot. They give my fine hair just enough moisture without weighing it down and the cucumber and green tea scent compliments my other fragrances just fine (very important to me!). The deodorant, as I've reviewed before, it great for keeping me dry, smelling fresh and moisturizing my delicate underarms!

So, go watch the mini-documentary, see the film, and try out some Dove products.

Get Fresh With Dove

I just wanted to share with you my new favorite Dove deodorant. As you may have noticed, I am obsessed with all things Grapefruit. I just love its citrusy, clean scent in everything! So I was thrilled to discover Dove has added a new scent to their line of clear solid deodorants, Energizing in Grapefruit and Lemongrass. It smells so yummy and, as always, keeps my fresh and dry all day. It is a solid white deodorant but if you apply it lightly it goes on clear and doesn't get on your clothes. Try it!
