Scandinavia
In Scandinavia, some women like to keep things simple. Finnish and Swedish women often go back to basics when it comes to their skin care and shower routine, choosing fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers rather than heavily perfumed products. Our hypoallergenic Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar gently cleanses your skin, and as it’s enriched with our classic ¼ moisturizing cream, it won’t leave it feeling tight or dry like ordinary soap can.

South Korea
South Korean women are known for their elaborate, 11-step skin cleansing routines, and they certainly know a thing or two about how to exfoliate. Not everyone has time for 11-steps every morning and evening – but you can add an exfoliating body cleanse to your routine with our Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash. One of our best exfoliator formulas, it gently washes away dead skin, revealing skin that looks soft, smooth and radiant.

France
‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is how the saying goes, and many French women know the importance of a tried and tested cleansing routine. Often a beauty secret passed on from their mother or grandmother, they stick to what works for their skin type. Establish your own beauty routine that works for you – and then maintain it! A classic that you can trust, Dove Original Beauty Bar has been around for decades. The gentle cleansing formula effectively washes away dirt and germs, while its ¼ moisturizing cream gives you softer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin vs. ordinary soaps.

Japan
For a glowing complexion, a lot of women in Japan cleanse with products infused with natural ingredients, which could be the secret to their skin’s radiance. So why not try a moisturizing body wash infused with a fruity freshness? With a bright pear and aloe vera fragrance, our Go Fresh Pear and Aloe Vera Body Wash has a deeply* cleansing and refreshing formula that helps restore a healthy glow to your skin.

West Africa
For centuries, women in Nigeria have been known to turn to shea butter to moisturize their skin. Choose cleansing products that deliver nourishment to help your skin retain its moisture. One of our best moisturizing body wash formulas, Dove Purely Pampering Shea Butter with Warm Vanilla Body Wash has a rich, creamy formula, which leaves your skin feeling beautifully soft.
