Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash: Surprise Beauty Steal

Well, well, they've done it again! Seriously, over and over again, they just seem to do just that. Wanna know what's baffling me? It's Dove! I'm just amazed at how they always up the ante and come up with superb bath and body products all the time. I therefore bestow the title, 'Moisturizing Mogul' to Dove. Before you think I've lost it, I'm talking about their new line of body wash. Remember how I raved about Dove's Pro-Age Beauty Body Lotion? Now, imagine my new obsession is like a body wash infused with lots and lots of moisturizing goodness from their superb Pro-Age body lotion. Talk about moisturizing in your shower!

Ladies and gents, what I'm raving about is Dove's Nutrium Moisture Body Wash. It comes in Deep Moisture, Gentle Exfoliating and Sensitive Skin.

The Goodness
So, what's so great about these gems? They are really very moisturizing, like no other. It leaves me feeling so smooth all day long. I feel bad coz I've been neglecting my body lotion since using Dove's Nutrium Moisture Body Wash. But, I'm still just as silky smooth. Apart from that, the texture of the body wash is just like Cool Whip, I'm serious. It's like pampering yourself with whipped cream...yummy! It doesn't leave any tight feeling nor feels like it's sitting on your skin. The moisturizing goodness simply sinks right in.

The Smell Test
The smell is heavenly too. I love it! The fragrance lasts pretty long too. Even my bathroom smells great after my shower. Deep Moisture smells the best, I reckon, followed by Gentle Exfoliating, which has blue massage beads. Totally gentle on the skin and I just simply adore exfoliating. Sensitive Skin actually has no fragrance but it has that 'clinically' clean smell. I think its great because I've heard some people complaining that they don't like the Dove fragrance. Now, for those with sensitive skin or those who doesn't like the fragrance, you can now enjoy the moisturizing goodness of this range. How intelligent!

The Dirty Secret
On a more serious note, actually what really caught my attention was this. Apparently, there is a dirty little secret to all body washes.They actually dry your skin out thus causing damage. Current body washes actually damage proteins and lipids in the skin’s outer layer during the cleansing process, which can lead to the loss of critical moisture. When skin lacks proper moisture, dryness, tightness and irritation/redness can all occur. Some existing body wash technologies are focused on minimizing protein damage and alleviating visual symptoms of moisture loss by adding heavy moisturizing ingredients (occlusives) that sit on top of skin. While these additives help mask dry skin damage, they do not address the deeper problem of lipid damage.

The Science Behind It
Dove discovered how to restore skin’s natural moisture while cleansing with body wash. A breakthrough in the body wash category, only the new Dove Body Wash collection contains NutriumMoisture technology that cares for surface skin ten layers deep. Unlike other body washes, this first-of-its-kind body wash technology takes a dual approach to healthy, nourished skin by preserving both proteins and lipids during cleansing. Only Dove contains NutriumMoisture, a breakthrough formula of soybean oil and natural lipids that can nourish deep down.

[To be honest, I don't know much about the sciences behind it, neither could I attest to it. But what I really know is, my skin is loving it and I'm so smooth all day long. And, I smell great too. I just love it!!]

My Verdict
Give it a try! Seriously, you wont regret it. It's so worth it!
