Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash: Review

I have used quite a few Dove products ( Dove Beauty Bar Pink/Rosa & Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash) before and really liked them. Currently I am using their Hair Fall Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner. Will post a review on that soon.

So when 3 bottles of Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ – Deep Moisture, Sensitive Skin, and Gentle Exfoliating arrived at my doorstep all the way from US, I was thrilled.(The folks from Dove sent it.) It was all the more exciting for me as I was getting a chance to try a product that has won one of Allure magazine’s 2009 Best of Beauty Breakthrough awards.


Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash

How it works:

All regular body washes cause skin damage as they actually damage proteins and lipids in the skin’s outer layer (called the stratum corneum) during the cleansing process, which leads to critical moisture loss. Even the heavy moisturizers that are often added to compensate for this loss just tend to sit on the surface of the skin without getting fully absorbed as they aren't identical to the skin's natural moisture. 

But the Dove Body Wash collection with NutriumMoisture™ technology takes a dual approach to healthy, nourished skin by preserving both proteins and lipids during cleansing and cares for surface skin ten layers deep. NutriumMoisture™ is a breakthrough formula of soybean oil and natural lipids that nourishes the skin deep down.

My experience:

I've been using all the 3 Dove Body Washes for over a month, and I have begun to notice a difference in my skin. In winter, I normally used to slather a body lotion at least twice a day, but now I no longer have to as my skin feels quite moisturized. 

All the body washes are of a very creamy consistency almost akin to a body lotion. But when you slather them on your body they spread quite easily, cleanse well and make you feel refreshed and clean. My favourites are Deep Moisture and Gentle Exfoliating

Both these have a pleasant scent which isn't too overpowering. You can feel those tiny blue beads gently caressing your skin when you use the Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash, but I have to admit that it's quite mild and could suit sensitive skin as well.  

Deep Moisturizing is the thickest and creamiest of all, lathers up well and is highly moisturizing -- most suited during winters.  

Sensitive skin Body Wash isn't bad per se and is almost as good as Deep Nourishing. But the slight downside is there is a small hint of a clinical smell (which I didn't like) even though it is mentioned that it has no fragrance. 

Apart from that I think it's a wonderful body wash for sensitive skin as it is hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested product.

    I have been using Deep Moisture and Gentle Exfoliating. for only a few days, but have noticed my skin is much more silkier then ever. The product’s fine blue granules scrub gently away my dead skin cells, while the moisturizing effect makes my skin soft and smooth. The scent of the body wash
    is very appealing, the scent is not too strong or too flowery, it is just perfect.

    I bought the new Dove Exfoliating body wash and really like it. It smells wonderful and you can use it on your face and your whole body. It is an exfoliating , so it's supposed to remove dull and lifeless skin.

    Recently I tried Dove Deep Moisture Body wash. I really like it. This body wash is very rich and thick. It felt very good as I scrubbed all over with it. It lathered okay and rinsed off clean. My skin does feel moisturized a little bit as I use it.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
