Last night marked day 7 of my Dove 7 Day Test and I cannot wait to share my experience with you!
Dove challenged me to use the Dove Beauty Bar on my face for 7 Days. Seven days is freakishly short but thankfully, I've been doing a lot of Skincare Snippets and have my skin observation game down to pat.
My cleanser this month is in rotation anyway so I was able to join the challenge without any repercussion!
Day 1:
Not much has changed by my skin- and this may be a good thing. Instantaneous reactions on me mean something either very good, or very bad. When my skin is instantly improved, that means it also deteriorates just as quickly once I stop the regimen.
I have 6 days left with Dove. I'm not jumping for joy yet.
Day 2:
I begin to notice how it doesn't lather as much as I thought it would. I used to use this in the shower and I swear it lathered as much as harsh soap! I consciously try not to overwork the lather and the bar, just in case too much will dry me out.
Day 3:
I note that my current serum (the first step post-cleansing) is extremely well-absorbed. My skin feels clean and balanced.

Day 4:
I try to stop for one day. All things seem good so far so it's about time to shake it up just to see the reaction.
Not good. My skin went dry pretty quickly. It cracked and chapped throughout the day. I honestly don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but I'm resolved to go back to Dove for the next day.
Day 5:
Back to Dove and skin feels nice again. It's funny, the change isn't as pronounced in day 1 (pre-Dove) as it is in day 4 (mid-week Dove pause.)
Day 6:
Skin seems calm, though I need the help of the rest of my skincare to be able to confidently walk out.
Day 7:
Last day with Dove. I think I'll keep using it and switch it back and forth with my current cleanser, just to gain more insight.
Overall, in seven days, skin is smoother and more glowing!
