I busted out the winter coat this week to combat the uncharacteristically winter-like weather up here in Canadaland (even though winter's start date is actually more than two months away). That means I'm not only swathing myself in a wearable sleeping-bag, but also stocking up my arsenal of protective bodycare products to defend my skin against chilly winds. Usually, I don't give much thought to body washes, other than looking for anything that says "creamy" or "moisturizing", but I've found that the more hydrating a body wash claims to be, the heavier my skin feels. Luckily, there's some big news on the body wash front courtesy of Dove. With the Nutrium line of Body Washes, they've found a way to infuse needed moisture into skin deep down – 10 surface layers deep – so it doesn't simply sit at the surface. The Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash with Nutrium Moisture gently cleanses, so you feel clean, but it doesn't wash away natural moisture; it actually replenishes with naturally-occurring lipids and soybean oil. Protective glycerin, a humectant, forms a kind of shield that helps hold in moisture. Post-shower, my skin feels fresh and hydrated but not cloaked in oil. And I don't skip the moisturizer afterwards – (body washes weren't made to replace body moisturizer) – but I find that my skin needs a little less nourishing cream/lotion than usual. There's a reason why Allure magazine named Dove Body Wash with Nutrium Moisture as one of this year's Biggest Beauty Breakthroughs.
