Here in Kentucky, in the midst of August, it is unbelievably hot! August is usually the hottest month of the year, and with hot, sweltering temps you can expect to sweat — a lot! That is why I am SO glad that products like Dove Clinical Protection are available to help me feel fresh and odor free.
Last week, I shared with you about my most embarrassing moment as a teenager. I will never forget that time as long as I can remember. Staying dry in any situation and odor free helps me, as a woman, stay confident. Once that panic sets in when you notice a little feeling of “wetness” under your arms pretty much robs you of any ability to focus on what is going on around you. You start asking yourself questions like, I wonder if anyone can smell me? Can the wetness be seen through my shirt?
About Dove Clinical Protection
- Only Dove Clinical Protection (Anti-Perspirant)/Deodorant combines the powerful (odor and wetness) protection women need while caring for skin 3 ways– (1) Moisturization, (2) Gentle on skin, (3) Soothes after shaving.
- Less irritating than the leading prescription-strength anti-perspirant/deodorant.
- Offers prescription strength wetness protection with the maximum level of active ingredient available without a prescription (20%)
- Provides powerful 24-hour odor and wetness protection, allowing women to feel confident and self-assured
- Unlike other clinical strength deodorants, does not contain aluminum chloride or alcohols which can cause skin irritation and discomfort
- Dermatologist recommended formula
I love the fact that Dove Clinical Protection is the only clinical strength deodorant on the market that has 1/4 quarter moisturizers and Vitamins E and F. Because of these added elements, it makes your underarms smoother and provides great moisture!

THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY AND WISH ME LUCK!
I look and feel freshest right after I get ready to leave the house.
When i go to work
When I’m in class during the hotter months. My college doesn’t have air conditioning in every room and sometimes the teachers will shut it off ‘so you can hear them’. I end up sweating all day!
I was going to say any time I go out and then I thought about that surprise ring of the doorbell. Ah when the world intrudes and you look at the mess you are dressed in for a day of work at home. The anti persperant is only a part of the problem.
When a friend tries to give me a hug.
Honestly, I try not to worry about it. As long as I take steps to take care of my hygiene, I hope it works.

When it is really hot and humid and I have to leave the house.
I am most confident right after my shower or bath
in the summer and its hot and i have to go out into public places
When I am in large crowds like children’s birthday parties or after I go swimming. I am deodorant obsessed. The moment I get out of the shower that is the first thing I do. I even carry a travel size in my purse with me. B.O makes me sick to my stomach so I don’t want to smell it on myself.
When I go to the doctors!

Everyday here in Oklahoma where it has been extremely hot this summer!
I kind of lounge at home with a messy bun in my hair and wear a tshirt and shorts and that seems to be when people come over to visit(without calling) so thats when i am more conscious of looking and feeling fresh, So now I kinda learned my lesson and look more appropriate at home.
