Practical Tips to Smooth Skin

When it comes to skin care, soft, smooth skin is the dream. The good news? This is a dream we can make a reality – all we have to do is make sure we’re targeting it with the right kind of care. Give it the moisture it needs (both inside and out), daily attention and care to keep it happy, and above all, use products that nourish and indulge it, and it’ll be on its way to being beautifully soft, smooth and glowing. So how do you do that? Just check out our tips below… 

    1 Exfoliate.

    Soft, smooth skin is built on good foundations, which means exfoliating! A scrub or will help you buff away all the debris and dead skin cells, to help you ward off rough patches and keep your body glowing and radiant

    2 Pick a replenishing moisturizer.

    The ultimate path to smooth skin is moisturizing. For beautifully hydrated skin, try a deeply* nourishing moisturizer, like Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion. (Link opens in new window.) Its unique DeepCare Complex, formulated with skin natural nutrients and rich essential oils, leaves skin feeling beautifully smooth and soft 

    3 Look for nourishing ingredients. 

    Look out for skin-smoothing ingredients in your products like nourishing oils and butters, which can help to protect your skin and seal in moisture. Dove Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Lotion is enriched with shea butter and nourishes skin

    4 Don’t forget your hands.

    All too often we don’t moisturize our hands till it’s too late, so make hand cream a part of your daily routine. Leave it by your bed and work it in every night before you go to sleep – it’ll leave your skin velvety smooth

    5 Try a warm shower.

    There’s nothing like a hot shower to help take the day off, but it’s not so good for your skin. High temperatures can melt away your skin’s protective lipid layer, which helps your skin retain water and stay soft and smooth, so stick to warm water in your shower and you might notice a difference…

    6 Tailor products to the season.

    Tailoring your products to the season will help prevent the pesky weather from having too much of an effect on your skin. When harsh weather hits, switch your body lotion to an intensive, rich moisturizer like Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion, which will care for extra-dry skin caused by the cold weather and lack of humidity in the air
