I don’t know about you, but I’m more of a shower person than a bath person. I like to get in and out. No bathroom dilly dallying here. My showering routine is a well-oiled machine. Shampoo. Conditioner. Soap. Razor. Body Wash. Rinse conditioner. Facial cleanser. Boom. Done.
I’m loyal to my shampoo, conditioner, and facial cleanser brands, but I’ve yet to find a body wash that I love. So when I was contacted to try Dove Visible Care Toning Creme body wash, I said, “I’m down, send some my way!”
Let me start by saying that the first thing I assess with a body wash is the smell. I don’t care if it makes my skin look and feel like Channing Tatum’s a baby’s butt, if it doesn’t smell good I’m not going for it. (I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again– I have a very sensitive sense of smell. Heaven help me when I get preggers.) I can say that I enjoy the light, refreshing scent of the Dove Visible Care Toning Creme body wash. I’m told that it’s a warm ylang ylang and delicate wood fragrance with robust citrus notes of mandarin and Italian bergamot. Oooh la la.
Since the body wash passed the “Chelsea smell test”, I moved onto my next criteria: hydrating. No one likes dry skin. Unless you’re a reptile, and I doubt reptiles read this blog. This body wash has Dove’s highest concentration of NutriumMoisture and added vitamin E. I was curious about this NutriumMoisture business so I went to Dove’s website to check it out. Their NutriumMoisture technology is designed to penetrate and moisturize your skin, whereas other body washes just stay on the surface. You learn something new every day.
Now that’s usually where I stop in my body wash criteria. What can I say, I’m easy to please. But Dove took a step further. Their Toning Creme body wash is designed to help promote skin’s elasticity and strength. Your skin is supposed to be visibly more beautiful in just 1 week. And it’s supposed to look even better after 3 weeks. I’ve used the body wash for a little over a week now, and I can honestly say that my skin is looking rather beauteous lately. And it’s not from my constant “glow” from it being 100+ degrees here.
In closing, if you’re looking for a body wash that gets you clean, smells good, hydrates your skin, and promotes elasticity and strength, give Dove’s Visible Care Toning Creme body wash a try.

I adore Dove body wash. Because I have sensitive skin as well. Shea Butter Cream Oil Body Wash that for a bit but I really prefer Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture.
I stay in the shower for awhile. But it’s the only place where I feel truly relaxed
sit 30 minutes. shampoo. shave. rinse. conditioner. body wash. rinse.
Definitely going to have to check this out now! And I’m definitely a long showerer, I love it! I also love wearing a towel for at least an hour afterwards, I don’t like wearing clothes. TMI?
I prefer showers on a daily basis,but every once in a while a calming bath is nice.
