Dove Exfoliating Body Polish Colloidal Oatmeal & Calendula Oil 298g

What it is

Dove designed this one for people whose skin reacts to scrubs. Colloidal oatmeal is the
long-standing dermatology ingredient for itchy, irritated skin, and calendula oil calms alongside
it. The exfoliating particles are there, but at the mildest level in the range.

Why this is the gentle one

• Sulfate-free, naturally derived cleansers
• pH balanced, so it does not disrupt the skin’s acid mantle
• Hypoallergenic fragrance — subtly herbal rather than perfumed
• Just enough exfoliating particles to work, and no more

What it is formulated to do

• Exfoliate gently enough for delicate skin
• Calm itch and irritation, with colloidal oatmeal
• Replenish moisture, with the quarter moisturising cream
• Reveal smoother skin without a reaction

Key ingredients

• Colloidal oatmeal — the calming ingredient
• Calendula oil — soothing
• Dove quarter moisturising cream

Which Dove scrub to pick

All six are the same idea with different exfoliant and scent. The practical differences:

• Colloidal Oatmeal & Calendula Oil — the gentlest. Pick this one for
  delicate or sensitive skin.
• Kiwi Seeds & Cool Aloe — the most refreshing, good for hot weather.
• Crushed Lavender & Coconut Milk — the calming one, best at night.
• Crushed Almond & Mango Butter — the richest, for dry skin.
• Pomegranate Seeds & Shea Butter — fruity, and the smaller 225ml size.
• Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk — the mildest scent, also 225ml.

The 298g tubs are labelled Body Polish and the 225ml ones Body Scrub.

Who it suits

Delicate and sensitive skin, and anyone who has found other body scrubs too harsh. Suitable for
all skin types.

How to use

1. In the shower, on wet skin, massage a handful over the body in circles.
2. Concentrate on rough areas — elbows, knees, heels.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Pat dry and follow with a body moisturiser.

Two or three times a week is enough. Scrubbing daily irritates skin rather than smoothing it.

Good to know

• Body only — not for the face. The particles are too coarse for facial skin.
• Not on freshly shaved, broken, sunburnt or irritated skin. Wait a day after
  shaving.
• The moisturising cream makes the shower floor slippery. Rinse the floor as well
  as yourself.
• Rinse the tub rim and close it so the scrub does not dry out.
