Hey, Beauty Bees!
Welcome back to my blog! And if you’re new here, “Welcome to FreshhFleshh!”
If you haven’t read my previous blogs, I’ll tag them at the end of this article. Don’t hesitate to tap on the links!
When it comes to beauty products, I'm always on the hunt for the best of the best. I’ve tried countless brands and products, always switching things up in search of the holy grail. But no matter what new product I try, I always find myself coming back to one favourite: Dove Body Scrubs. They're just that good. Trust me.
Now, I don't usually rave about Dove products – you'll rarely hear me mention the brand unless we're talking about their body scrubs, body washes, and body bars. These gems truly stand out in my skincare routine. I've been using them for two years now, and even though I experiment with other products, I always return to Dove. They are actually perfect, not overrated. They deserve all the hype and more. I rate them 10 out of 5 if that’s even possible!
How It All Begins?
It all started two years ago when a good friend recommended Dove Body Polish Exfoliating Scrub. I was a bit sceptical at first – could a body scrub really be that amazing? But from the moment I tried it, I was hooked. The rich, creamy texture, the intoxicating scents, and how it made my skin feel was pure bliss. I had found my holy grail of body care.
One of the standout features of Dove Body Scrubs is their unique, luxurious texture. Each scrub boasts a rich, creamy consistency that feels indulgent and soothing against the skin. Infused with finely milled exfoliants, such as crushed nuts, seeds, or sugar, they provide gentle yet effective exfoliation without being abrasive. As you massage the scrub onto your skin, it effortlessly glides, creating a soft, cushiony feel that turns your shower into a pampering spa experience. The blend of moisturizing ingredients ensures that, even as the exfoliants work to slough away dead skin cells, your skin is left feeling velvety smooth, deeply hydrated, and radiant.
I have dry, acne-prone, and sensitive skin, but these scrubs work wonders for all skin types, whether oily, normal, or combination.

FreshhFleshh Tips for Specific Skin Types
- Dry Skin: Choose scrubs with hydrating ingredients like shea butter, almond, or coconut butter. These will help to replenish moisture and leave your skin feeling nourished.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Look for scrubs with gentle exfoliants like brown sugar or kiwi seeds. These help to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells without aggravating acne.
- Sensitive Skin: Opt for scrubs that are sulphate-free and contain soothing ingredients like oatmeal, calendula oil, or aloe vera. These will calm and nourish sensitive skin while providing gentle exfoliation.
- Oily Skin: Choose exfoliating scrubs that help to balance oil production, like those with citrus extracts or light, non-greasy formulas.
FreshhFleshh Tips for Using Dove Body Scrubs
- Prep Your Skin: Before using the scrub, wet your skin thoroughly with warm water to soften it. This helps the scrub to spread more easily and work more effectively.
- Use Gentle Pressure: Apply the scrub using gentle pressure in circular motions. Avoid scrubbing too hard, especially if you have sensitive skin, to prevent irritation.
- Focus on Dry Areas: Pay special attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, and heels. These areas tend to have more dead skin buildup and can benefit from more exfoliation.
- Leave It On for a Moment: After scrubbing, leave the product on your skin for a minute or two to allow the moisturizing ingredients to absorb and hydrate your skin.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse off the scrub thoroughly with warm water. Make sure no residue remains on your skin, as this could leave it feeling oily or sticky.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After using the scrub, apply a good moisturizer to lock in hydration and keep your skin feeling soft and smooth.
FreshhFleshh Tips for Maximizing Benefits
- Use 2-3 Times a Week: For best results, use the Dove Body Scrubs 2-3 times per week. This frequency helps to maintain smooth, soft skin without over-exfoliating.
- Pair with Dove Body Wash: For an extra indulgent shower experience, pair the scrub with a matching Dove Body Wash. This combination helps to cleanse and nourish your skin in one step.
- Adapt to Seasonal Needs: Adjust your choice of scrub based on the season. Opt for more hydrating formulas like shea butter and pomegranate seeds in the winter, and lighter, refreshing options like kiwi seeds and aloe vera in the summer.
- Use Before Shaving: Exfoliating with Dove Body Scrubs before shaving helps to lift hairs and prevent ingrown hairs. This leaves your skin smoother and ensures a closer shave.
- Travel-Friendly: Dove Body Scrubs are packaged in sturdy, travel-friendly containers. Take them with you to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth even on the go.
FreshhFleshh General Tips
- Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin or are trying a new variant for the first time, it's always a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying it all over.
- Enjoy the Experience: Take your time to enjoy the luxurious feel and delightful scents of Dove Body Scrubs. Make it a part of your self-care routine and indulge in the sensory experience.
Happy Exfoliating!
