Dove Is My Everyday Essential Upgrade

There are two questions I ask myself every morning when I walk out of my apartment building: Did I lock the door? and Did I put on put on deodorant?

I’m more concerned about remembering deodorant. And on more than one occasion, I’ve run upstairs to make sure the door is locked and do a quick deodorant check.

I can go on about my day without perfume, mascara or lipstick. But deodorant is the last beauty product I want to skip. And I know I’m not the only one.

Dove conducted a study with Latinas across the U.S. and when Latinas have forgotten to apply deodorant it was revealed that: 88% feel self-conscious, 71% distance themselves from others, 57% have gone back home to put it on.

As a working mom, my mornings are hectic. There’s only one bathroom in our two-bedroom apartment and it’s me, my husband and son getting ready for the day. So there’s a lot of running back and forth and excuse me’s.

Especially these last few weeks with Norrin out of summer school. (I am totally counting down the hours to the first day of school!) Our routine is completely thrown off. Some days, I’m traveling from The Bronx to Queens (to my mom’s house) and then heading to Manhattan for work. And since it’s summer, we go out for dinner or to the movies and sometimes don’t return home until after 9pm.

In these hot and humid days of summer, I need a deodorant that’s going to keep me feeling fresh, dry and confident all day long.

Not only does Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant offer 48 hours of odor and wetness protection, there are also skin care benefits. The NutriumMoisture™ formula leaves my underarms feeling soft and smooth. Dove Advanced Care in Clear Tone can also help restore skin to its natural tone.

With Dove, I can rock my sleeveless dresses and raise my arm to take a selfie with confidence!
