I’m sad to say Dove Winter Mint Body Scrub is a total failure for me for two reasons. One the price is a little wonky and two I really don’t want to smell like a busy Christmas Tree Lot on Christmas Eve. I am so not into this. When they said “Winter Mint” I thought something cool, crispy, and refreshing. But it smells like a minty Christmas Tree!
First off, let’s discuss size. Last year, Dove did a Hot Cocoa Mini Scrub which they actually re-released this year (Why? That’s a mystery as they released a large size of Hot Cocoa Swirl Body Scrub as well!) and I loved it but wasn’t in love with the price. The mini scrubs are cute stocking stuffers but the price is so off. It’s $5 bucks for 3.5 oz of product whereas the larger scrubs are 10.5 oz for $9.99. I wish these were priced a little better! I think $2.99-$3.99 would be a better price point!
Secondly, this is so NOT into when it comes to mint. Too bad they didn’t do a peppermint scent or maybe a candy cane one as I’m just not in love with it. It smells like eucalyptus and phellandrene aka minty Christmas tree. I didn’t love it. I’m just not into that weird pine, minty, balsam thing this has going on! The scrub itself is nice. I prefer a gritty scrub but these are nice for daily use. They have a creamy base with a lightly grainy consistency that suds up when water is applied. P.S. It looks like toothpaste! Haha!
Dove Winter Mint Body Scrub was a skip for me. If you want to smell like a Christmas Tree this one is available! I’d recommend Peppermint Bark instead!
