How To Pamper A New Mom

Self care is so important, and maybe even more so for new moms. I'm sharing how to pamper a new mom (or yourself!) with Dove beauty products. There is even a little something for the guys too.

I've partnered with Mirum Shopper to share how to pamper a new mom with Dove beauty must-haves.

I've mentioned at least a few times that we love Dove beauty products. My grandmother used Dove Beauty Bars and passed that tradition down to my mother, who then passed that sage advice down to me. Dove has been in families for generations since they've been around for 60 years and for good reason, their products are simply excellent.

Last year, Dove generated a lot of positive talk with their #SpeakBeautiful Dove self esteem campaign and I loved participating. It really helped shaped my thoughts and the words I spoke about myself, giving my self esteem a big boost. Right now, Dove has limited edition products with words of encouragement and inspiration on them so you can start your day off right. I know it makes me feel good to read them first thing in the morning when I'm getting ready for the day.

This led me to start thinking about a local friend who just had a baby boy. I remember how trying those first few months of postpartum motherhood were. I spent most of my time caring for my new little one, completely neglecting myself. Plus, I was carrying extra baby weight which made me avoid looking in the mirror. I wanted to do something a little special for my friend, so I decided to give her a gift of Dove products so that she could pamper herself and focus on some self care. Having the inspirational words on the bottle is just perfect.

How to pamper a new mom with Dove beauty products

Here are the Dove Beauty products I included:

• Dove Deep Moisture Shower Foam - This shower foam gently cleanses and cares for your skin thanks to its NutriumMoisture™ technology. It nourishes deep into the surface layers of the skin while supporting your skin’s natural moisture barrier as you cleanse.
• Dove White Beauty Bars - These are the #1 dermatologist recommended bars that we know and love. The classic moisturizing formula doesn’t dry skin like ordinary soap can. They're made with ¼ moisturizing cream and mild cleansers. Dove White Beauty Bars helps retain skin’s moisture and leave skin softer, smoother and more radiant looking vs. ordinary soap.
• Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant - This formula provides up to 48 hours of antiperspirant protection (which is great for new moms who barely have time for a shower!). It can help underarm skin recover from irritation caused by shaving since it contains Dove NutriumMoisture™ and it has a delicate and refined floral scent.
• Dove Women Clear Finish Dry Spray Antiperspirant  - This new spray is tough on sweat but not on skin since it's got Dove's signature ¼ moisturizers. It leaves NO white marks on 100 colors, which is pretty amazing.
• Dove Derma Pure Daily Care Shampoo - Gently cares for hair, leaving it smooth, manageable and flake-free. It's pH balanced, relieves irritation and is gentle enough to be used everyday. You'll love the fresh, rich scent.
• Dove Derma Pure Daily Care Shampoo + Conditioner - In case you want a 2-in-1 solution, you can use this formulation to get beautiful, flake-free hair.

I even got a few goodies for her husband. New dads need a little self care too (and you know how much I love Dove Men+Care products as gifts for guys)! I picked up the following:

• Dove Men+Care Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant - Again, this new formula leaves NO white marks on 100 different colors. It's tough on sweat but not on skin.
• Dove Men+Care Minerals + Sage Body Wash - It's infused with nature’s refreshers, Minerals + Sage. This body wash developed specifically for men's skin to give them a boost of freshness that leaves their skin feeling renewed while preventing dryness thanks to its micromoisture technology.
