Applying Dove cream is straightforward and depends on the specific Dove product you're using. Generally, Dove creams are designed for moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
How to Apply Dove Body Cream
Dove's body creams, like their rich moisturizing lotions, are best applied after showering or bathing, morning or night (or both!). Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Cleanse: Start with clean, dry skin. This allows for better absorption of the cream.
- Massage: Generously massage the cream into your skin using gentle, circular motions.
- Focus on Dry Areas: Pay special attention to dry areas such as your heels, knees, and elbows. These areas often require extra moisture.
- Amount: Use an amount sufficient to thoroughly moisturize the targeted skin area. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount, especially for extremely dry skin.
Example: For dry elbows, apply a small amount of cream and gently rub it in until fully absorbed. Repeat as needed.
How to Apply Dove Facial Creams or Serums
Dove also offers facial creams and serums, such as the Dove Niacinamide + Even Tone Cream Serum. While application is similar to body cream, facial products should be applied specifically to the face and neck. Be gentle to avoid irritation.
- Cleanse: Cleanse your face thoroughly.
- Apply: Apply a small amount of cream or serum to your fingertips.
- Gently Massage: Gently massage the cream into your skin using upward and outward strokes. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Let it Absorb: Allow the product to fully absorb before applying makeup.
Example: Using the Dove Niacinamide + Even Tone Cream Serum, apply a pea-sized amount to your face and gently massage until it's fully absorbed.
Note: While some Dove products like Dove bar soap can be used for various purposes (though not recommended for the face), always refer to the product's specific instructions for best results. If you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before using any new skin product.
