Dove® VisibleCare© Review

This is a sponsored post for BlogHer and Dove, but the opinions are all mine. 

I've been a busy girl for the last seven months or so.  Down in the dirt, working with my hands busy.  I looked at my hands after finishing up laying tile the other day, and realized how hard it's been on me physically to help build our home.

I was offered the chance to review Dove®'s new VisibleCare© body wash, and I jumped at the chance to use a product that could be part of my daily routine.

Our crazy schedule doesn't leave a lot of time for taking care of myself, especially when after working on the house.  I still have four kids to feed and care for, a rental home to keep somewhat clean, and the laundry that never ends.  I was hoping that a new body wash that I could incorporate into my regular, simple routine would be a help.

With our high desert climate and hard water, my skin almost immediately feels tight when I towel off.  It may not be painful, but dry skin is uncomfortable.  So, every day I slather on lotion before I dress.

Dove® says their new VisibleCare© product has the highest amount of NutriumMoisture technology.  After the first use of VisibleCare©, I could tell a difference.  I was happy to find that my skin doesn't feel tight after I finish showering.  After a week, I only put lotion on my super dry spots.  I was encouraged.

There are three different types of Dove® VisibleCare© products, each created for specific skin needs.  I was sent the Toning variant, which is designed to improve skin's elasticity and strength.  I'm not sure I really saw a difference in elasticity.  However, my skin looks healthier to me, most especially because my skin is not nearly as dry and tight.  

The other thing I really liked about the VisibleCare© product is the scent.  Some body wash products over-power you with fragrance.  VisibleCare© had a subtle fragrance that is just right.

At the end of the day, I'm really happy with this product, and how my skin feels.  Dry skin is an uncomfortable reality when living in southern Idaho, and thanks to the NutriumMoisture, it seems to be a thing of the past for me.  I will definitely purchase this product for myself in the future.

What about you?  Is there a small change you'd like to make in your beauty routine?
