A Soothing Shower

In the winter it's heat. In the summer, it's sun, sand and chlorine. But year-round, it seems my thyroid condition has made my skin drier and more sensitive than in the past. I don't really like soap anymore, because it leaves my skin dry and itchy, but I really like a moisturizing body wash. One of my favorites is Dove Aromatherapy Massage Body Wash.

I like the way it leaves my skin, but the scent is great too -- it's subtle aromatherapy, not obnoxious, but a bit of a perkup/wakeup, which some of us really need in the morning!

You can find Dove Body Wash at most grocery stores and drugstores.
