That daily shower? It can be a killer on your skin. To uncover the dirty truth about women’s shower routines and the effect their behavior has on their skin, Dove commissioned research with dermatologists nationwide. It turns out that women do not know that they are being unnecessarily harsh on their skin in the shower. In fact, 3 in 4 dermatologists say that women often damage their skin in the shower, thinking they are caring for it.
According to Dove, the shower can often become a place for harsh, regimented washing instead of a gentle, caring experience, and some body washes can contain harsh cleansing ingredients similar to those found in dish soap. While 96% of dermatologists report that using harsh cleansers in the shower can have a negative impact on women’s skin, 80% of dermatologists believe that many women are not aware of the difference between cleansers.
When it comes to cleansing, all skin deserves gentleness, and 92% of dermatologists agree that using gentle products can have a positive impact on women’s skin. And that's where Dove comes in. According to the Unilever brand, only Dove Body Wash is made with 100% gentle cleansers, is sulfate-free and is the No. 1 dermatologist recommended body wash.
