A softer, cuddlier hockeymandad…..sorta (Including Giveaway)
***UPDATE – WE HAVE A WINNER***
Congrats to our winner, BusyDad, and his comment number 4. Here is the Random result for proof.
During the past few weeks you may have seen some ads around the entertainment universe regarding a new product line from Dove geared towards men. It is called Dove MEN+CARE and here is the official description of the product line.
What is Dove MEN+CARE?
Dove introduces, MEN+CARE, the brand’s first-ever product line created specifically for men. The new products are designed for men who have a reached a point in their lives where they are comfortable with themselves, but not in their skin. Many men put up with cleansing products that are harsh and drying, without realizing these products leave their skin feeling dry, irritated and uncomfortable. Men even blame their socks for their skin irritation when it is really the drying effect of regular cleansers!
Total Skin Comfort
Dove developed MEN+CARE so men can literally be comfortable in their skin. Built on the Dove brand’s heritage in cleansing, moisturizing and care, the new MEN+CARE products offer great cleansing combined with Dove moisturizers to provide total skin comfort. Dove MEN+CARE is dermatologist recommended and clinically proven to fight skin dryness without irritation or tightness.
The good folks representing Dove sent me a sampling of these new products to try for myself. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant myself, being a user of another product line for men that often shows men using the product getting smothered by lots of women. Sadly though, there was not much truth in that advertising and although I did smell nice, I did not find myself having the problem of women throwing themselves at me wherever I went. married or not, everyone likes a compliment now and then.
I was sent a bath scrubber tool, some Clean Comfort body and face wash, and an Extra Fresh scent body and face bar.
I will start by saying the Extra Fresh scent bar is a bit too strong a scent for my tastes. The scent is not unpleasant in any way, just a tad on the strong size for my tastes.The shower tool is okay as well, I think the scrubber side should be a little more abrasive, but does the job very nicely.
The other two items I have been using for over a week now and I am pleased with the results. I find I smell nice after a shower and I feel clean and ready to go. The Clean Comfort scent reminds me of baby powder which is pleasant and soothing. I have noticed, or maybe just started paying attention to the fact that since I started using the body wash my skin has seemed a little softer and definitely not as dry as it was. This is a good thing as I actually do feel more comfortable in my skin! Ha, well played Dove folks, well played….mission accomplished.

I love soap … even if it’s men’s soap.
I’ll give it to TheMister; he’ll appreciate soap.

Hmmm…Men’s Care by DOVE? Don’t they make chocolate? Is there chocolate in their product? That would be delicious.

When my wife saw this ad during the Superbowl she said “go get that. now!” She is a Dove loyalist and wants nothing more than for me to join the Dove Side. So, I’m doing this for her. And if throngs of women swarm me because of my soft skin, so be it. It was for a noble cause.

As the VP of purchasing pretty much everything around here I am always on the lookout for a nifty new product. The man o’ the house has been subjected to half dozen types of body wash in the last year as we haven’t been able to find one that doesn’t smell insanely strong. Will definitely give Dove a try.
