My mum raised me on the plain white, unscented kind of Dove Cream Bar Soap, so even with all the access that I have to luxe gels and creamy body washes, I tend to keep some Dove handy in my bath and shower at all times.

Vote below and tell me if you prefer using bar soap or body wash.Something You'll Want to Steal From the Hotel

It contains white lotus extract and kukui nut oil, which are claimed to having healing properties.

However, they soon learned the error of their ways.
