New and Improved Dove® Body Wash.

January 14, 2013/

My skin is so dry. So dry on my legs and arms that it almost hurts. I have been slacking in the body moisturizing department. I am pretty good about slathering moisturizer on right after my show while my skin is still damp, but I feel like I need to do more. I am realizing that I need to start my moisturizing in the shower. I am using the new and improved Dove® Body Wash to see if it helps.

You see, Dove® Body Washes just got more caring. They added a very nourishing Glycinate, an ultra-mild ingredient primarily used in high-end facial care products, into the formula. Coupled with the brand’s NutriumMoisture® technology, this is a mild, yet nourishing formula. Imagine replenishing essential nutrients and nourishing skin deeply right in the shower.

There is a long list of Dove® Body Washes to choose from, making it easy to find the formula right for you.

Dove® Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture® Dove® Sensitive Skin Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® gofresh® Cool Moisture Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® gofresh® Rebalance Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® gofresh® Revive Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® gofresh® Burst Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®
Dove® Purely Pampering Shea Butter with Warm Vanilla Body Wash
Dove® Purely Pampering Coconut Milk with Jasmine Petals Body Wash
Dove® Purely Pampering Almond Cream with Hibiscus Body Wash
Dove® Winter Care Body Wash with NutriumMoisture®

I have been using a combination of Dove® Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture® and
Dove® Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture® to get my skin into a better state. They both nourish my skin and rinse of quickly and easily. The Exfoliating version contains tiny exfoliating beads to slough away old, dry skin. I really hope to find the Winter Care version to really help my super dry skin.

Look for the new and improved Dove® Body Washes at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer nationwide. Each Body Wash ranges in price from $4.49 - $6.99 depending on formula and size.

Holiday 2012: Josie Maran Argan Oil Balm Trio.

December 04, 2012/

Josie Maran has a wonderful set of body balms that are perfect for gifting this holiday season. This Argan Oil Balm Trio is a great gift for anyone who deals with the harsh realities of winter skin, without being too personal.

The balm itself is enriched with her award winning Argan Oil, plus a host full of other natural body nourishing ingredients. The balms are perfect for any part of the body that is dry or prone to dryness. I love it on my hands, lips, feet, elbows and knees.

The trio contains three scented balms; Apple Spice, Honey Lavender and Citrus Cider. The set can be given boxed as is, or broken up into three smaller gifts - think small teacher gifts, etc..

Josie Maran Argan Oil Balm Trio is available exclusively at QVC. It is item number A116175, and sells for $28.00.
