Why I Added Dove Advanced Care to My Daily Personal Routine

**I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dove. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for my participation.”**

This week, it hit 93 degrees one day at my house. Just because we’re used to the heat, it doesn’t mean we enjoy it, especially this early in the season. Luckily, I have an air-conditioning system that’s in good working order. Problem was, I had to run several errands and that made me thankful I’d found good make-up that doesn’t melt off when you start to sweat and good deodorant. Every California girl needs quality products that she can rely on and now that I’ve tried Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant, I know I have options beyond the deodorant I’d been using before.

I’m a sweat-er. There, I said it. I used to have to be careful about what clothing I’d buy, because the last thing I want is one of those gross rings under my arms when it’s hot out..worse yet, the kind of rings others can see or ruin my clothes if I don’t wash them immediately. When I use Dove Advanced Care, I don’t have those rings, nor do I have any worries about odor. The product worked great, especially on that 93 degree day, and even now that I’m done testing the product for this post, I’m still using it. The faint odor is feminine and a little flowery, and when I use perfume or body spray, it doesn’t overwhelm, and my underarms, a part we often don’t worry about moisturizing usually, are soft. I shave daily — I live in tank tops once the heat goes above 80 — and there’s no dry skin or rash either. Dove Advanced Care contains Nutrium Moisture, made of ingredients known to moisturize the skin. It’s available at regular stores everywhere and the 2.6 oz size retails for approximately $4.99.
