Busy moms will agree that there are many things we simply don’t have time for. What I wouldn’t give to sleep in past 6am, enjoy a quiet dinner at home, and put on makeup without the contents of my bathroom strewn all over the floor. That being said, it’s very important to me to make time for simple ways to relax, even if only for a few moments. This is why shower time is so crucial (and eagerly anticipated)! Timing is strategic and a little me-time in the shower is usually scheduled around afternoon naps, becoming a highlight of my day.

I’m very selective when it comes to the products I use in the shower because I want to enjoy every last minute of it and a little daily pampering does the body (and mind) good! Probably one of my favorite scents for soap, body wash and shampoo is Coconut. Nothing quite matches the fragrant, tropical aroma of this fruit/nut/seed (whichever definition you prefer). So when I first tried the Dial Coconut Water hydrating body wash I knew I had a new favorite on my hands. A little upgrade at shower time was just what this mama needed.

First and foremost the smell of the body wash is fresh, clean and invigorating – like your own little beach vacation in a bottle. Coconut water is a staple in our fridge (the whole family is obsessed) for a daily dose of heath and wellness, so being able to bring that same momentum to shower time is a real treat.

The body wash has a very silky smooth texture that lathers really well and feels so moisturizing on the skin. My personal moto for every shower is to lather twice. The first wash is essentially to get clean, and then the second is to bask in the fragrance and take a few deep breaths to relax and calm the nerves. I’m loving how since I’ve been using the Coconut Water body wash, those deep breaths bring me on a mini-vaca (something I would never say no to). And the best part is that the feeling of complete hydration lasts long after you get out of the shower. Nothing’s worse than tight-feeling skin after a shower, something you don’t need to worry about after using this ultra-hydrating body wash. Since the main ingredient is sourced from young green coconuts, this body wash is full of antioxidants and electrolytes yet is gentle on the skin. It also contains bamboo leaf extract which is a great source of nutrients, contributing to the overall hydrating factor of the wash.

A perfect complement to the body wash is the Dial Coconut Water soap bars, which have the same great fragrance and ultra-hydrating power as the body wash. There’s always a use for both bars and body wash during shower time, so I’m loving having both within reach for my daily use.
