Limited Edition Winter Care Essentials by Dove
I stand by the opinion that Dove one of the nicest and best quality beauty brands on the highstreet. I have lots of their products floating around in my skincare and haircare drawers and if I'm ever running low I always just repurchase without a second thought. While there are loads of beauty brands that I love and use all the time, these are my staples that I'm always 'stocked up' in. When I heard about the new Winter Essentials* line I couldn't wait to give it a go, and I had high hopes of it being just the thing to banish that awful dry and itchy winter skin that can make an appearance at this time of year.
Everyone needs a hand cream in their bag at this time of year, I can't think of anything worse than being out for the day with uncomfortably dry hands. This is a great little hand cream, as with all Dove products it smells gorgeous (a bit sweeter than their standard soapy scent) and really packs a punch with hydration too. £3.49 is such a bargain price- cheaper than my old faithful Hand Food by Soap and Glory and I like this better.
I'm a huge fan of Dove body lotions, I usually have a couple of varieties on the go any one time (I've not long finished a bottle of their firming lotion- love it). As with all of the Dove skincare lotions I've tried this is highly moisturising but feels lightweight on the skin. It absorbs quickly too, so you're not having to prance around your bedroom in a towel for an hour after a bath waiting for it to soak in.
My favourite product of the three, this is thick, rich and ultra hydrating. I find my lower legs can get a bit dry at this time of year especially after shaving, using this was like instant hydration and immediately got rid of the dry feeling. I like using intense moisturisers like this on my elbows, knees and feet too, just for that extra moisture boost. This is quite a shallow pot but a little definitely goes a long way, I wouldn't be surprised if this lasts me for most of the winter.
