Dove is a well known brand when it comes to skin and body care products. They have everything under their umbrella such as bath soaks, soaps, deodorants, just to name a few. But for some reason it’s not a brand I normally gravitate towards. I do have one Dove product in my body care collection currently and that’s there Nourishing Body Care Beauty Cream. This was bought months ago and was less than £3.00 for 250ml from Home Bargains.
Why did I buy this?
I’m a sucker for a body moisturiser! It doesn’t matter what kind it is or texture, I love them. This cream looked so inviting in it’s quite sizeable tub. I’m not normally drawn to this brand but I was by this.
What is this supposed to do?
Dove’s Nourishing Body Care Beauty Cream is a highly moisturising body product but designed not to leave the skin feeling or looking greasy.
Fragrance
This beauty cream smells similar to baby lotion! Clean, fresh, comforting. That well known scent that even if you’ve never had anything to do with a baby or baby products somehow you know what baby lotion smells like and this is very close to it! It’s not strong though, noticeable, but quite delicate, which I like.
Consistency
Consistency wise this is somewhere between a body lotion and a body cream. It’s not fluid but it’s not solid or particularly thick. It sits between the two.
On the skin
Less is more with this product as I’ve discovered! You don’t need much, but because I did use too much I had to work it into my skin a little bit (my fault!). What I did notice is this has a slip to it but it didn’t feel like most body lotion/cream type products I’ve used before. It didn’t quite sink into the skin as expected and leave a heavy feel to it. What it did do was leave my skin looking totally matt and feeling smooth. My skin did feel moisturised and protected but not in a coated type of way. But I could tell there was something on it. The fragrance was there on my skin, but again delicate in strength.
Who is this for?
Any skin type. Normal skin, dry, the majority of people will benefit from using this. The only people I would say possibly not is those who like heavy textures and have really dry skin that needs a weighty body product.
Recommended?
What an interesting product! Dove’s Nourishing Body Care Beauty Cream wasn’t what I expected. Good size with a good amount of product to it. Fragrance is great and I dare anyone who wouldn’t like it because it’s so neutral. And the beauty cream does exactly what it says it does, deep moisturisation with no greasy feel! So would I recommend this? I would! Especially during humid times when you want your skin to be moisturised but not use a heavy and oily product.
There are different versions of this cream available everywhere but this less so. Always a good idea to check discount stores and if desperately needed Amazon. But always buy at a price you are happy with! Just spotted the small version of this in Home Bargains for 99p for 75ml.
