"I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."

    In my family's household we used Dawn dish soap growing up. That's all I knew while washing dishes over and over and my hands would dry out from using Dawn with Olay. When I received Palmolive Soft Touch Coco Butter I was a bit apprehensive to see if it would work. I really put it to the test one Sunday morning. I was quite surprised from the outcome. I made two different types of cupcakes and two different types of homemade frosting. I had to do the dishes four times that day. Comparing it to Dawn my hands would have been dried out by the second round of dishes. Surprisingly my hands weren't dried out and my dishes looked spectacular! Palmolive Soft Touch cleaned those dishes effortlessly and by the fourth set of dishes my hands looked like I hadn't even washed they dishes. Palmolive is Tough on Grease, Soft on Hands!

By far my favorite product to test so far. I i had to chose between the two I was given (which I gave the other bottle to my sister) would be the Palmolive Coco Butter.

I was sent two complementary bottles of Palmolive Soft Touch in Vitamin E an Aloe along with several coupons to share! All opinions are my own because if I don't like a product, I will tell you. Trust me. 

When I received the bottles of Palmolive, I had no idea I was getting them. When Influenster sends out a box, it always contains coupons to share with your friends since they don't ever send you dinky samples. You get the full thing. Now that it's nearing the end of the school year, I wasn't sure who I would share my coupons with. If I get coupons that can benefit teachers, they are the first people I share with. They need all the help they can get.

I did have one thought. My Mom is a school bus driver. Often, she comes home with greasy hands and spends forever trying to get the grease off of her hands without using a product that will make her break out or upset the delicate ecosystem that is her sinus cavity. She's not the only one either. Part of the job of a bus driver is to go over your bus and poke and prod things to make sure that it works. Many of the women end up with dry skin from washing their hands many times a day and still cannot get the grease off. 

The other day I received two full sized bottles of Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Soap from Influenster. I received two of the three scents. The first was Vitamin E an the second was Aloe (for dry hands). My concern with most new dish soaps is the scents being overpowering or having a negative effect on my skin. Not only were both scents light and pleasant  I have not had a negative reaction to either bottle and my skin is very sensitive. 

One of the tasks we were given was to do our nails and then do the dishes. I did my nails (which you can see on my Instagram) and hand washed several dishes to see how the dish soap held up to a family of 6. 

The soap was really sudsy, which is nice because we all associate this with being clean. But the best part was, the Palmolive is tough on grease and cleaned the pans I washed very well, while still leaving my manicure in tact.

I did do one other test. I am often on the look out for a good soap that will clean my make up brushes. One of the tricks I learned a long time ago is to use dish soap (often anti bacterial but I don't like too) an extra virgin olive oil to clean your brushes and still keep them soft. Many soaps can't get the olive oil out enough and leave the brushes greasy and then you have to wash them all over again. 

The Palmolive DID NOT have this problem. In fact, my brushes are soft, an I'm half tempted to try washing them without the olive oil just to see if the soap will keep the brushes soft without having to use the oil to condition them.

I will definitely be purchasing more Palmolive Soft Touch when my Vitamin E bottle runs out. I prefer the smell of it over that of the Aloe (but the aloe still has a pleasant smell). I DO recommend this to people who may have a sensitivity to scents or perfumes (topical or just the scent) try it out first just to be sure. I also recommend this to those who are looking for a good soap to wash your makeup brushes.
