Experiencing the "PitiCure" With Dove Ultimate Deodorant





Say "PitiCure!" Wendy, me, Val, Mary Jane, Danielle, Jenny and Mary are all smiles after a relaxing day of pampering.


This past Saturday, Dove treated me and a group of my friends to a spa day at A Moment Away day spa in Southington, Connecticut, where we experienced a new at-home spa treatment Dove calls a PitiCure! A PitiCure is to your armpits what a pedicure is to your feet. (Are you still with me?!) It's a simple three step process that sounds silly but all jokes aside, it's actually quite refreshing and great for maintaining healthy underarm skin! Let's face it, no one likes bumps, ingrown hairs and irritation, especially during the summer season when we're baring our arms that much more.

Keep reading to see photos from our relaxing day, which also included complimentary manis and pedis. A huge thanks to the gracious staff at A Moment Away—they totally spoiled us! And a big thanks to Dove for making it all possible and for the free samples of Dove Ultimate Beauty Care deodorant that we all got to take home.
