Giveaway: Dove Visiblecare Body Wash "Save Me From My Cracked Heels in Flip Flops" Summer

It's funny being a swim mom. You are on deck constantly. Sun shining above you, flip flops flip-flopping and water splashing around you making the humidity just peachy. And yet?

Your skin is as dry as a desert. Yep, it is a condition of the job called swim mom.  I seem to have embraced that condition well over the years with the sun beating down and my heals cracking by the hour.

Good news?  One of the fun aspects of my other job--you know the one that pays for groceries rather than in surly teenage stares and whiny preteen complaints that she does not want to wake up at 4 AM for 5 AM practice--is I get to constantly try out new products.  And new nice smelling, yummy feeling products to sample in the mail make me happier that Costco samples...and that's saying something! Squee!

Visibly More Beautiful Skin from a Body Wash

The latest?

A new body wash called  Dove^® VisibleCare™ Crème Body Wash .  On the bottle the words, "Visible skin improvement in just one week," is emblazoned!

Ummm...ok!  I'll bite.  Dove says it is designed to nourish and replenish skin for softer, smoother skin in one week.  Dove also says:

• Designed to nourish and replenish skin

• Rich, pearlescent crème format with luxurious lather and clean rinse 

• Contains a mild cleanser, glycerin and stearic acid 

• A fruity floral fragrance that includes a modern combination of pink mimosa and pomegranate 

My thoughts?  It has a nice, luxurious texture as a body wash with a definitely yummy fruity and floral scent.  When I squeezed it out, I checked the bottle to be sure I had body wash and not body lotion:

Moisturizing?  Check!

Luxurious, silky lather?  Check!

Nice floral summery scent? Double check!

This bottle?  It's all mine.  Dove says it takes three weeks for skin to be more visibly beautiful.  I can not wait because my friends?  In that picture of my feet above? That was only one swim meet down as  the last regular season summer league meet of the year..

We only have a FOUR day weekend club meet, followed by THREE days of summer league champs preliminary meets, plus ONE day of A Champs, and topped off with FOUR day club long course meet.

And these toes are already dry:

Yep!! That's 12 days of meets that range from 5-12 hrs on the hot deck, with heels cracking,  in the mere twenty days left of the month. Yep and add preparation for two business/blog conference trips for me...it's that, "Kill me now!" time of summer. Oh did I mention daily 1 hour commute for drivers training and football camp!!!

I have a feeling that: (1) I am going to be lucky to even get time for a shower, and (2) I am going to need every drop of moisture Dove can give me!

You can be sure that with this bottle, I will make the time to for me by lock the bathroom door, grabbing a lemon drop and taking a nice tepid bubble bath.

Guess what?  Yoo hoo!  Did you think Scout was going to forget you guys.  Heck no! First, he's a coupon for you to try it out:

Exfoliation? A entire body wax? What spa treatment do you drool about finding the time and money to have done?
