It is finally summer! And even though in the cold, cold days of winter I said, “I’ll never complain about being hot.” Guess what? Why did it go from very, very cold to very, very hot? What happened to the 60’s and 70’s. Here in Chicago, we went from 40 degrees to 85 degrees. *sigh* I can’t help whining, just a bit. Â I was recently at a beach, but most days I don’t have the opportunity to dive into a cool ocean!
The warm weather has had me rethinking my deodorant. Â I’ve been using the same brand for *mumble* “mumble* too-many years. Â When I had the opportunity to try Dove Advanced Care, I jumped at it. Â Have you been impressed by the Dove advertising campaigns like I have? Â I love, love, love the “real” women they feature and the emphasis on healthy bodies instead of model-thin, unrealistic choices. Â I want to support their products, so anytime I can switch out a beauty product to Dove, I do.
Our underarms have been hidden all summer but now it’s time to bring them out of hiding! Â Have you switched your closets yet? Â That’s what I call putting away all my winter clothes and pull out the summer ones. Â I was so excited to see short sleeve and sleeveless tops! Â We just went on a vacation to Puerto Rico *swoon*, I loved it there, and I got to try out quite a few summer outfits. Â Not to mention swimsuits! Â We were able to kayak, snorkel, swim, and enjoy warm ahhhhhh, sunshine! Â What are you planning for this summer that will have you wearing swimsuits, sleeveless dresses or tank tops? Â I have a maxi-dress I can’t wait to wear that is sleeveless.
With underarms showing, those shaving bumps, rough skin, and general ugly-stuff, suddenly matters. Â I was drawn to the Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant because it has moisturizers that improve the look and feel of your underarms. Â New Dove Advanced Care is the only Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant formulated with NutriumMoisture to moisturize underarm skin and provide softer, smoother underarms in just 3 days. Â One of the benefits I liked about my old one was you could skip a day, and I was happy to see that Dove Advanced Care offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection.
Add to that, New Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deoderant is available in EIGHT scents, and New Dove Advanced Care Clear Tone Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant is available in THREE more scents and wow, you have choices. Â I tried Nourished Beauty and Clear Tone Pink Rose. Â Both are flowery but the Nourished Beauty was a little softer, so I preferred that one. Â The one I can’t wait to try though is the Clear Tone Sheer Touch which has light citrus scents with hints of almond and coconut milk. Â Mmmmm, I love citrus, almond AND coconut.
As soon as you put on the New Dove Advanced Care you will notice a difference. Â It is so smoooooth and soft. Â It feels much gentler than my old roll on. Â Instead of irritating my skin, it feels like I’m doing something good for my skin. Â In just three days, you will feel a difference in the condition of your skin.
A final benefit that appealed to me of the New Dove Advanced Care was that it doesn’t leave “deodorant marks” on your clothes. Â I often wear black and it’s awful when you see white marks on someone’s clothing under their arms. Â Or even down the side, from when they pulled on a top.
I have a fun idea for you! Â How about a Piticure? Â Are you shaking your head? Â Seriously, you know what exfoliating and moisturizing does for your hands, face, legs…. Â Now you can do it for your pits! Â Try it out.
At-Home PitiCureâ„¢
Women often neglect caring for their armpits, but underarm skin requires the same care given to the rest of their bodies. A recent published study shows that 36% of what you remove when shaving is actually skin – only 64% is hair.* As a result of this shaving irritation, armpit skin loses 50% more moisture, which can lead to dryness and sensitivity.** This is why it is important to provide your skin with the moisturization it needs using the simple, three-step PitiCure™ treatment.
Exfoliate, Rinse and Care, three simple steps that will leave your armpits feeling softer and smoother. The Dove® At-Home PitiCure™ is a treatment that cleanses and helps care for armpit skin over time with the application of Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture™.
Step 1: Exfoliate
Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or wipes to cleanse underarms and draw out impurities. Â Impurities in the underarm area can cause unwanted irritation (e.g., folliculitis/ingrown hair); exfoliation and cleansing can help to relieve this.
Step 2: Rinse
Rinse the area with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
Step 3: Care
Apply Dove® Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture™
- Formulated with NutriumMoistureâ„¢ to care for underarm skin
- Provides softer, smoother underarm skin in just 3 days
- Offers 48-hour odor and wetness protection

I’ve been wearing my hubby’s unscented deodorant for years. But I’m right there with ya about wearing black and deodorant marks. His does leave them and I find I have to put it on after I put on my top. I love Dove so perhaps it’s time for a change. PS: I would love to go to Puerto Rico!
