Loving the NEW body washes by Caress. I’ve been using the scarlet blossom red lychee & patchouli oil. Why I love it? It’s smells good, subtle, a good sophisticated scent not “cheap”, it lathers really well, and moisturizes. Going to check out the sheer twilight black orchid & junipor oil scent tomorrow:)

Caress Scarlet Blossom & Sheer Twilight Body Wash

Summer Skincare. Aveeno Positively Nourishing white Peach + Ginger Body Wash is on my top favorite body washes for the summer (secret: I think all year round too!). This smells amazing. Not too perfumey, just a natural subtle peach and ginger scent. It lathers beautifully and really hydrates my body in the shower. Something about peach sounds sexy for summer. Marta Walsh LOVES. BTW I bought this at Target.

The NEW Dove VisibleCare Creme body washes with NutriumMoisture ($7.99) are so luxurious Marta Walsh says:) They are super moisturizing in the shower and smell good. Not too much fragrance just very pleasant and subtle. Choose from a Softening or Renewing formula. I tried both and they are equally amazing. I will buy this again. Sometimes all you need is Dove.

Dove VisibleCare Creme Body Wash softening has a white floral gourmand fragrance of magnolia and pink jasmine. Dove VisibleCare Creme Body Wash renewing has a fruity floral fragrance that includes pink mimosa and pomegranate.

Skin Takes Center Stage

From everyday occurrences like spending time with family and friends to ultimate spotlight moments like being on national TV, a woman’s skin is always front and center. After all, it is the body’s largest organ with an average surface area of 16 to 21 feet making it the most visible of all body parts. That is why it is important for women to remember looking their best starts with having beautiful skin.

“When I was on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ there was so much emphasis on my hair and makeup, but it was my skin that was really in the spotlight – especially with the tiny costumes I had to wear!” said Garth. “I love that Dove® VisibleCare™ Body Washes allow my beauty routine to start in the shower. They make my skin soft, smooth and visibly more beautiful so I am now close-up ready every day.”

A Visible Difference

With Dove® VisibleCare™ Body Washes, beautiful skin now starts in the most unexpected of places – the shower. The new body washes are specially designed to give women visibly more beautiful skin in just one week. When used daily, the formula actually improves the look of skin making it softer, smoother and always close-up ready. The collection is available in two variants – Softening and Renewing – and can be found at food, drug, mass and club retailers.

Before stepping out in style this summer, make sure that your skin is in prime condition to be shown off.

Infused with mango and mandarin extracts, along with skin conditioning Vitamin E, Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash moisturizes in the shower and revitalizes your senses with a lively citrus and fruity fragrance bliss.

Padma Lakshmi, model, award winning cookbook author and Emmy nominated host of the popular Bravo TV series Top Chef, is joining forces with Henkel Consumer Goods, Inc. to help women look and feel their best. Their partnership marks the launch of Dial NutriSkin, a new line of ultra-hydrating body washes packed with light and refreshing fruit oils. Recognizing that beauty is more than outward appearance, Padma has collaborated with Dial to encourage women to develop inner beauty by giving back to charity.

“As a model, I understand the importance of looking good on camera, which is why I indulge in healthy beauty treats with nourishing ingredients such as Dial NutriSkin Body Wash,” says Padma. “However, I realize that beauty is not skin deep and that giving back is what truly makes me feel beautiful. This is why I am working with Dial to raise money for my charity—an organization that supports women affected by endometriosis.”

Beginning today, log on to DialSoap.com and Dial will donate $1 to a nonprofit organization Padma helped to found—The Endometriosis Foundation of America. This charity aims to fund medical research for endometriosis and educate women suffering from the condition, which Lakshmi herself has struggled with for years.

“By partnering with Padma and with the help of our consumers, Dial now has the opportunity to make an extraordinary impact in women’s lives,” explains Jasmin Manner, Vice President of Dial Personal Care business. “We understand that beauty goes beyond everyday skincare routines—and shines from the inside out.”

NEW Dial NutriSkin Body Washes are available nationwide this month, in two unique combinations; Grape Seed Oil & Lemongrass and Cherry Seed Oil & Mint. Suggested retail price for a 16-ounce bottle of body wash is $3.99; also available in bar and liquid hand soap for $2.49 and $1.69 respectively.
