What beauty products have stood the test of time for you? Which ones do you squeeze the last drop out of and buy over and over again? What product do you love so much that you evangelize about it to your mom, your best friend, your accountant, your neighbor, the bus driver?
This is, I should say, not in any way a sponsored post, though I’m flattered you thought anyone might pay me to write about something so mundane. This is just another Molly Curiosity thing (maybe I should trademark that…) that I’m taking to the blog instead of posting directly on Facebook as I normally do. You can respond on FB, or Twitter, or here!
For me, it’s the Dove Beauty Bar for Sensitive Skin. I’ve been buying them for so long I can’t remember when I started, but it is a nonnegotiable part of my routine. I try to take it everywhere with me when I travel because I just. Do not. Feel. Clean without it. I get it in giant cases at Costco. And yes, it has to be the bar, not the body wash, because why? I don’t know, that’s just how I like it. Since it’s for “sensitive skin”, whatever that even means anymore, it’s unscented and that makes me sort of trust it more. My skin is a bit on the reactive side so I tend to prefer products without added fragrance when possible.

No matter how high-end/fussy the rest of my skincare routine gets (hello Soko Glam, please just create a store credit card and give me the highest possible credit limit) I always, always have to have my Dove bar. Plenty of people even use it on their face, which I absolutely do not (see: Soko Glam), but it seems to work for them. It’s economical and easy and does exactly what it’s supposed to do, nothing more and nothing less. I experiment with shampoo, makeup, vitamins, moisturizers, pretty much everything but what cleans my body in the shower. It’s boring and not very sexy and I couldn’t care less.
So please, share your own beauty loyalties with the class! We can all be vain together.
