  • Unlocking Glowing Skin Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, and applying sun protection are the fundamentals of any effective skin care regimen, enabling you to achieve vibrant-looking skin. Regardless of the type of beauty routine you choose, essentially, moisturising has to be at the heart of your routine for you to get the glowing skin you desire. Keeping skin moisturised helps to keep skin issues like dryness, and its symptoms, at bay so that you can enjoy smooth, moisturised, glowing skin.  If you’re feeling confused as to how a moisturising skin care routine can help reveal your skin’s radiance, don’t stress, because Dove has the answers.  A Moisturising Skin Care Routine for the Win Cleansing  Cleansing is the classic first step to the majority of beauty regimens. An effective cleanser will help to wash away germs and dirt to leave your skin feeling clean. While clean skin is great, skin that is clean and moisturised is better! Unfortunately, though, a lot of the soaps and cleansers out there tend to have ingredients that strip away your skin’s natural moisture, leaving it feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. Don’t worry though, because when it comes to how to get glowing skin after every bath, Dove has got you covered with our exciting range of nourishing body washes.  Our new Dove Body Wash collection delivers nourishing care to your skin as it gently cleanses, leaving your skin clean, soft, moisturised, and feeling amazing. So, if you’ve ever wondered how to moisturise skin in a bath, our Dove body wash range is the answer. Formulated with our innovative Triple Moisture Serum – an active blend of skin natural moisturisers – our body washes can transform even the driest skin in just one shower with the nourishing care they provide.  So, the next time you bathe, try our Dove Renewing Glow Body Wash with pink clay, for a skin moisturising bath that reveals your skin’s radiance.  Exfoliating  Exfoliation plays an important role in helping to restore shimmering skin. When you don’t exfoliate regularly, old skin cells can build up on your skin’s surface, resulting in a dull appearance. So, to highlight your skin’s glow, the build-up has got to go. A gentle exfoliation is always best so as not to irritate your skin. So the next time you dip into a bathtub and think of exfoliating, reach for our Dove Purifying Detox Body Wash with green clay. The Triple Moisture Serum nourishes your skin while the green clay helps to gently exfoliate your skin. With this body wash, say goodbye to dull skin and hello to a shimmer you’ll love.  Moisturising  Our moisturising body washes ensure that before you even step out of the tub or shower, you have moisturised, soft, smooth skin. Our body washes contain a fine blend of our Triple Moisture Serum and skin-loving ingredients like 12-HSA which is known to boost the skin’s renewal process. So all that’s left is for you to simply complement your moisturising cleansing routine with a nourishing lotion.  Forget about wondering what to add to a bath to moisturise skin when you explore our innovative range of Dove Body Washes, for long-lasting care that unlocks your skin’s lustre and leaves it moisturised.  * Within the stratum corneum
