Dove Body Lotion Silk

This is an oldie! One of the 1st moisturisers I ever bought. I dont like the smell, I find the fragrance quite powdery like- like an old ladies perfume. The consistency is thick and it moisturises but I find its a little too oily for my skin. I had to stop using after a couple of months as it made my skin more oilier. I payed around 5-10bucks at The Warehouse for it and it lasted me 6 months. The packaging is great, but not ideal for travelling as it is quite bulky. I only applied once a day as that is all you need. Great for using on your legs after waxing, it leaves your skin looking smooth and hydrated.

not moisturising enough

I used to use this all the time. I love the consistency of the cream, I really like the signature Dove scent and I like the pot. I just find that as I get older, the cream isn't moisturising enough. I find I have to double apply, and who has time for that? I found the lotion to be heavier, but the formulation before the current one. I don't think that the newest formula suits my skin either. It doesn't sink in like the last one did.

Tips: Use it if you have normal skin. Not recommended for dry skin.

Skin soft as silk.

I love love love this product. My skin feels so soft and moisturised after every use. I work in a Tavern/Restaurant and am washing my hands all the time, and the air conditioning is very drying on my skin, so this is perfect for me. I love the smell, and the fact that it doesn't take long to soak into my skin. I am not left with that slippery feel of some of the other similar products.

Tips: See if you can get a sample before buying it just to check it's right for your skin.

Left me feeling greasy

I found that no matter how much I tried to rub in the lotion my skin was always left feeling greasy/oily after I had applied, however it did a pretty good job - my skin the next morning always felt smooth and silky. I wasn't to keen on the jar style for the packaging, I personally prefer bottles or tubes as dipping into the product over and over seems a bit yuck.

Tips: Great for night time when you don't have to rush out the door and it has plenty of time to soak in.

Dove Body Lotion Silk

I don't really like the smell of any dove products but once I got past that feeling and got it on my skin I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it left my skin feeling. The only other downfall is that it's very thick and greasy and took a while to dry after a shower which made getting dressed hard and left all my clothes smelling like it. I would only use on my legs after shaving to help keep them moisturized but that would be the only time.

Tips: Use after shower but don't get dressed straight away it's too greasy

A great emergency cream

This Dove moisteriser is a great product to have as a backup for your usual one. It can be a bit greasy and in some cases you may have to re apply later on in the day bit it does leave your skin soft and smooth. Beware if you have sensitive skin as it may cause some blotch in and itching. The jar is a bit huge so you can't just take it anywhere with you and I found it takes awhile to obsorb into your skin after a shower. I do like the smell though.

Tips: Keep the jar in a dark place as the sun alters the smell and texture. Hence a great one to leave in your bathroom cupboard.

Silky smooth skin

I love Dove products and think Dove Body Lotion Silk is good value for money. A little bit of luxury in a tub.

Although I am not a huge fan of the tub - at least you can get every last drop of this beautiful mosituriser. Would love to see this in a pump bottle.

The Dove Body Lotion Silk has the unique "Dove" fragrance. A light floral scent.

The moisturiser is non greasy and easy to apply from the tub. The mosituriser on your skin is soft and light and absorbs quickly. I have normal skin so a little goes a long way.

My skin feels amazing after I have used. I like to use after my shower in the morning and my skin feels soft and silky all day.

Dove does it

A reasonable size plastic white jar with a screw top lid, and sealed under a bit off foil is a velvety soft thick cream. Fragrance is a powder floral typical of Doves scent, it's not too overbearing and it does fade down, and just fades into nothingness. I think it smells feminine and soft. I've found this cream absorbs quite quickly not much left in the way of residue I found it stays a little tacky for a few minutes, but then it's good to go. I get no irritation from this and it does leave my skin feeling soft but I do end up putting quite a bit on to get the moisturising effects. After full on day at work a hot shower and rubbing this on and dressed I'm actually good to go I find it soft and refreshing. I do hate sticking my fingers into creams as I don't think it's hygienic and I hate it up my nails. I think it's quite reasonable money wise.

Thick creamy goodness

Dove has a variety of skincare products from deodorants through to body creams. Dove has a distinct fresh scent. I was given this pot in a Dove gift pack from my sister. I am a fan of dove because I enjoy their products. In my gift pack I got this cream, a shower gel and shower puff.

This pottle is about 200 mls. Its coloured in a creamy white pot with the Dove logo on it. At the back of this jar is the instructions of how to use it. This pot is easy to open and close. When I open this pot I immediately smell this Creamy Dove scent. This cream is super thick. It reminds me of a body butter but it's not.

I normally apply this cream to my skin after a shower. This cream soaks into my skin nicely. I use it daily. I find that I don't need much to cover my body. My results from using it was hydrated skin. My skin felt smoother. I think it's priced affordably. One lasted me a little over a month. A great body moisturiser. I'm not sure if these are still available as I have been looking for them for a while now.

Body silk in a tub

This is one of those items that you wonder why you stopped repurchasing, It used to be a must have on my bathroom bench top until a few months ago I stopped purchasing this.

I had been using the Dove body lotion silk cream for just over a year, the price ranges from $10-13 so I would purchase this when it was on special. I like to use this on my hands and my legs. I found using this after I shaved my legs gave me a burning sensation so I tried to wait as long as I could before putting Dove on my shaved legs.

The formula is thick, it is heavy like a body butter and has a light floral scent, it is Doves signature scent that is easily recognized on everyone who uses this.

It is great value for money and you only need a small amount, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized and smooth for hours on end.

Be careful if you have sensitive skin, my son has sensitive skin and I cant put this on him, it gives him a bad rash.
