Try it Tuesday...Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal

I love this dish soap! I found it as usual at Target. I bought it at the same time that I bought the Dial Yogurt Foaming hand soap. Again, my friend Pam brought it to my attention.

It's a bit pricey at about $3.64 for a 22 ounce bottle, but it will go on sale like most products do.

This is what the website says about Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal:

With new Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal, you can transform the look and feel of your hands in just five dish washes. Side by side comparisons show that within five uses of Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal, skin feels softer and more beautiful.

Don't just use a dish soap that's mild on your skin-try one that actually improves the look and feel of it! Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal is great for hand care and you'll still get the excellent grease fighting power you've come to trust with Dawn.

Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal comes in these scents:

-Pomegranate and Splash with Vitamin E
-Lavender and Silk with Vitamin E
-Aloe Vera Scent

I bought the Lavender and Silk after a tough choice between that and the pomegranate. Both smelled refreshing and pleasant.

Now folks...I'm the kind of person that washes her hands a zillion times a day. That's how I roll. I don't like dirt or germs. No, I'm not obsessive compulsive or anything. I just like to feel clean. Since I have a one year old, I also change lots of poopies during the day. Yes, I like to wash my hands in the bathroom sink using the Dial Yogurt Foaming Soap (that I recently reviewed) or Bath and Body Works soaps, but I also have a pump built in my sink in the kitchen. If I need to wash my hands, I frequent the kitchen sink plenty of times during the day.

Because I'm a crazy hand washer, I get dry dry skin. Especially in the winter, but they are still dry throughout the year. So when I saw the Hand Renewal soap and it said I should have smooth skin in 5 days, I thought I'd try it.

It actually works! My hands are nice and soft. Of course we already knew that Dawn cleans dishes well. And now there are no worries about having dry itchy hands due to frequent hand washing or cleaning of dishes. I clean plenty of pots and pans, so I think I'll keep using this dish soap. I'll report back in the winter to let you know if it's still keeping my hands soft.

As you can see from the photo above, there is a sweepstakes you can enter at the Dawn website. Sign up and you might win some jewelry or atleast a free bottle of Dawn PLUS Hand Renewal dish detergent. Here is the link to sign up for the sweepstakes.

The Dawn website also has a link for a $1 off coupon for the dish detergent, but you have to give your address. It's from the Home Made Simple website. I get their newsletters monthly. At the Home Made Simple website, you can sign up for $27 worth of coupons in booklet form. It will include the $1 off for the Dawn PLUS Renewal. Here is the link for the coupons: Home Made Simple . And yes it's free. I enjoy the newsletter because they have great tips and coupons as well as some freebies once in a while.

Next week I'll be reviewing the new 100 calorie pack of Oreo Snack Cakes that I found at Meijer. I knew they would come out with this sooner or later!

*EDIT* It is now winter...January 3rd to be exact, and I thought I'd weigh in on how well I think the Dawn Hand Renewal is treating my hands. Ok, I can't say I use the Dawn to clean dishes after every meal, but I use it everyday atleast. Sometimes to wash my hands and sometimes to clean dishes individually. Not a sink full of dishes. Anyway, usually at this time of the winter season, my hands are so dry and cracked. Sometimes they bleed. Not this year so far. They aren't super soft, but they are much better than usual. I still need to put lotion on my hands, but not every day like last winter. So I'd say that Dawn Hand Renewal is doing a good job of softening my skin. I bet if I used it more, it would work even better. Did anyone else find the same results?

Try it Tuesday......Dial Yogurt Vanilla Honey Foaming Hand Wash

VS.

Dial Yogurt Vanilla Honey Foaming Hand Wash vs. Any Bath & Body Works Foaming Hand Wash.

The war is on! And I never would have thought any other store could compete with my favorite Bath & Body Works hand soaps! But Dial Yogurt is running a very close second to Bath & Body works. We are talking Michael Phelps 1/100th of a second close.

I have to say I'm a big fan of foaming hand wash because it's good to the last drop. I like more bang for my buck. I am never out of Bath & Body Works foaming soaps in my own bathroom. I have 2 sinks and each has their own bottle of B&BW foaming wash. Now the kids bathroom is a different story. They have whatever brand I pick up at Target or any grocery store. Sorry kids, but you waste too much soap.

I love Bath & Body Works because the fragrances are so yummy. Plain and simple...that's why I buy them -They smell fabulous. I will stay loyal to their soaps, but I have found one who is also yummy to smell and feels sooooo soft on my hands.

The Yogurt in the soap is actually yogurt proteins. I have no idea what yogurt is supposed to do for my skin, but I know that I love this soap! The Vanilla Honey is a great smell that rivals the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent at Bath & Body Works. I do have to say that the Dial soap is much creamier if that is the right word. It has a softer feeling to me. Even Brycen used it and came looking for me to tell me he thought it smelled really good. Normally, he could care less about soap. I have to force him to use it on his stinky feet some times. What kind of kid wears socks all summer long?! :)

Because the new Dial Yogurt Foaming Hand Wash is much cheaper than the Bath & Body Works, I just might buy the kids that brand (plus the Method brand that has some nice scents) from now on so I can still enjoy it plus not worry so much about them wasting it. Also I won't have to run out and get B&BW soap right when I finish a bottle in my own bathroom. I definitely think I can learn to live with the Dial Yogurt soap for a time.

The only thing that I don't like about the new Dial Yogurt foaming soap, is the bottle. I like how Bath & Body Works has a nice picture of a flower or whatever scent is in the bottle. But I especially like that their logo is small and not obtrusive (is that the word to use?...and to think I loved English class growing up!). Dial is just the opposite. The big 'ol lettering stands right out and takes up a chunk of the bottle. No subtlety there that's for sure. The bottle is nicely shaped, but the lettering ruins it. Go ahead, compare the pictures I have above. Can win 'em all I guess.

I found this soap at Target for about $2.70. I haven't tried the Aloe Vera scent. I really like the Vanilla Honey, so I bet I will buy that one again instead of the Aloe Vera. My friend Pam, however, is currently using the Aloe Vera hand soap (not foaming). I guess she likes it. She was the one who recommended the Yogurt soap when we were in Target together. I had never heard of Yogurt in my soap! I'm glad she got me to try it (Thanks Pam!) Weee.

P.S....Dial also makes the yogurt scents in a body wash. Wonder if it's as creamy? And another thing about the Dial yogurt soap....why only 2 scents? Come on people....play around with a few more.
