Above is a pic of me and my mom probably about 1983.  I love Dove products and what better way to celebrate the natural wonder that is Mother’s then these super cute Mother’s Day products.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Dove has transformed its iconic Beauty Bar for the first time in nearly 60 years to celebrate the women in our lives. For a limited time, the words love, real, kind or care will be engraved into the Dove Beauty Bar so that you can honor a woman who has made an impact on your life. Additionally, Dove is launching limited edition packaging on select body wash, hair products and deodorant featuring inspirational quotes from real women.

We often underestimate the potential of our words to make a positive impression on the women in our lives. Dove invites women to exchange these words with a special woman in their life as an expression of the bond they share this May.

Dove is my must have body wash, nothing beats the cleaning and hydration of Dove body wash… except Dove. Now my favorite way to get clean is even better with the new Dove Dry Oil Body Wash with Moroccan Argan Oil. The Dove creamy body wash is even now more hydrating with the inclusion of Moraccan Argan oil.

As you can see from the pic below the formula is creamy and rich and works up into a beautiful lather. I love how great this new line smells, so warm and comforting and it leaves my skin so silky smooth and hydrated. Since I started using it a week ago I have found I don’t need to use lotion as often my skin is so hydrated.

Dove Dry Oil Moisture Body Wash, with a unique combination of Moroccan Argan Oil, Dove’s mildest cleansers and NutriumMoisture technology, nourishes by replenishing nutrients lost during cleansing to leave your skin feeling softer and smoother.

If you are more of a beauty bar than body wash type, the Dry Oil Beauty Bar with Argan Oil is the same great formula as the wash but in a bar. Great for travel, or your gym bag it will get your skin clean and leave it feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. This will be a staple in my camping stuff this year, will be great to get clean and hydrated while out playing in the heat and sun.

I have tried a few dry spray antiperspirant’s and while they worked I found most crumbled and/or left white powder on my clothes. When Dove released their Dry Spray Antiperspirant I was interested to see if their formula could work without the mess.

First formula I used was the Clear Tone Skin Renew, I love how light the spray was and easy to apply. It didn’t clump or crumble on my underarm skin and it keep me dry and smelling great all day. Whether I am working out, hiking or just sitting at my desk work I love that I know this product will leave my underarms smelling great and dry! And the Clear Tone Skin formula will help even out the skin tone on your underarms so no unsightly dark pits.

Clear Tone Skin Renew Dry Spray Antiperspirant goes on instantly dry and delivers 48 hour odor and wetness protection with Dove’s unique ¼ moisturizers for softer, smoother underarms. Enjoy the light fragrance with notes of watermelon and pear mixed with violet, rose and sandalwood.

For you sensitive skin ladies look no further. The mildest formula you can find the Dove Sensitive Skin Dry Spray Antiperspirant goes and and dries immediately. With built in moisturizers it leaves your skin dry, smooth and hyrdated. And this formula has no harsh fragrances that will irritate your skin.

I love that it keeps my underarms smelling clean and dry for up to 48 hours.

As we are suddenly in the midst of soiree season – wanted to share the below holiday hair ideas from Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend to help you achieve the perfect holiday hair for any occasion. From office party to New Year’s Eve bash, Dove Hair wants to make sure every woman looks and feels her best all throughout soiree season. Please find Mark Townsend’s curated holiday hair tips and how-tos below, straight from the red carpet!

Dove Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend’s Holiday Hair Tips & Tricks

Look 1: If soiree season has you strapped for time, opt for a playful ponytail like THIS look Dakota Johnson rocked at this year’s LACMA awards.

1. Start by applying a dollop of Dove Style+Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a round brush to get the hair smooth and shiny with lots of body and movement.

2. Then, gather hair into a ponytail and secure with two tight elastics like these from Blax (I always use 2 elastics to keep the ponytail nice and tight throughout the night).

3. Next, use a 1 inch curling iron like Harry Josh Pro Tools Curling Iron to add waves to the hair inside the ponytail

4. What makes a ponytail red carpet ready is the details, so I spray Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray on a reusable mascara wand to clean up any loose hairs at the nape of the neck and around the ears, before wrapping a 1 inch piece of velvet around the base of the ponytail (you can also wrap a small section of hair around the pony-tail and secure with a bobby pin).

5. To finish, spray dry shampoo like Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo on the ponytail for texture and hold. If you have fringe like Dakota, dry shampoo will keep hair in place without making it stiff!

Look 2: I’m obsessed with bobs and deep side parts for winter. If you have shorter hair, go with THIS cool-girl, modern style with a touch of sophistication sported by Rachel McAdams at the Gotham Awards.

1. Start by liberally spritzing Dove Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray throughout damp hair and blow dry with a round brush for long lasting volume.

2. After hair is dry, create a deep side part about 4 inches from the top of your ear, then wrap 3 to 4 inch sections of hair around a 1 inch Harry Josh Pro Tools Ceramic Curling Iron to create loose bends in the hair.

3. For added texture and shine, spray Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Dry Shampoo throughout hair while scrunching with hands.

Pro Tip: To keep the deep side part in place and tame any flyaway hairs, spray Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray on a natural bristle toothbrush and run it over any areas in need of some extra hold for a totally polished style.

Look 3: For a fashion forward yet festive look, try a wrapped ponytail like THIS one as seen on Elizabeth Olsen that was inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer in Tequila Sunrise. The best part about this style is that it looks perfect on clean or unwashed hair!

1. Prep hair with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner like the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil line and blow dry hair with a paddle brush.

2. Next, section hair into three sections and secure with elastics to create three separate ponytails; one just below the crown, the next at eye level, and the last at the nape of the neck.

3. Spray Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo on all three ponytails for extra grip, then wrap a long velvet ribbon of your choice around the ponytails starting from the top, connecting them together as you move down, and using black bobby pins to secure the ribbon as you twist to the end.
