I went for the launch of Dove: Patches campaign launch and the panel discussion at Olive Bar and Kitchen, Mahalaxmi 2 days back. Read more about it below.
Dove launched Dove: Patches, the latest real beauty experiment that illustrates that beauty is a state of mind.
Author Kiran Manral, Global Brand Manager South Asia Dove Nilushi Jayatileke, Actress Konkona Sen Sharma and Chef Pooja Dhingra were present at a Panel Discussion at an exclusive premiere of the film.
New Social Experiment Illustrates the Ongoing Conflict Women Have with Recognizing their Beauty
Inside every woman is the power to feel beautiful, confident and radiant, according to a first-of-its-kind social experiment conducted by Dove. Carried out in response to research revealing that an alarming 80% of women feel anxious about the way they look1, the study highlights how the right state of mind can unlock a powerful feeling of beauty that lives inside all women. The results are documented in the short film Dove: Patches on YouTube.com/DoveIndia.
The experiment was guided by psychologist and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke (Ph.D., Counseling Psychology) who has spent thirty years conducting scientific research around women’s body image and self-esteem.
During the experiment Dr. Kearney-Cooke invited the participants to wear a custom-made “beauty patch” for two weeks, which – would help them feel more beautiful. The women were then invited to keep a personal account of their life-changing experience throughout the two week period. All the women agreed that wearing the “beauty patch” helped to improve their self-esteem and to change their personal lives in ways that they had not imagined.
At the end of the experiment, however, it is revealed that the “beauty patch” contained nothing and that the power of believing in their own beauty influenced feeling beautiful.
“When a woman feels beautiful, she radiates happiness and confidence, which inspires her life in a significant way,” said Dr. Kearney-Cooke. “These women, like so many others, struggle to recognize their own beauty and it severely affects their daily lives. This ground-breaking experiment was designed to illustrate that beauty is a state of mind and that the power to feel beautiful comes from within.”
Beauty is a State of Mind
Throughout the Dove: Patches film, it becomes clear how low self-esteem affects many elements of the women’s lives. As the women become more confident about the way they look, personal relationships flourish and they develop a more optimistic outlook on their daily routine. One of the women who participated shared that she felt ashamed of her arms and had always avoided shopping. A few days into the experiment, she started to feel more beautiful and invited her daughter to go shopping for the first time. The two of them spent an unforgettable day together and they tried on dresses that she had never dreamed of wearing. Dove hopes that all of the women’s inspirational stories featured in the Dove: Patches film will serve as powerful examples and encourage all women to develop a stronger relationship with their own beauty.
“We hear from thousands of women every day about how their complicated relationship with beauty affects their overall confidence and happiness,” said George Koshy, General Manager- Skin Cleansing. “By illustrating through the Dove: Patches film that a positive state of mind and openness can help them feel more beautiful, we hope to inspire all women and help change the way they see themselves.”
Dove invites all women to create a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. When women look and feel their best, they feel happier, and Dove believes it is important for women to see the beauty in themselves so that they can inspire the next generation. The brand has set a goal of reaching 15 million young lives with self-esteem programming by the end of 2015 and has reached over 12 million to date.
Watch the Dove: Patches film at YouTube.com/DoveIndia and join the conversation at #BeautyIs.
I personally loved the movie..how each and every one of us can point out 1000 things in us we do not like..and how one patch made a psychological difference and made them feel beautiful in 2 weeks !
Did you watch the movie ? Do share your thoughts below..would love to hear them 🙂

UVA Rays can cause wrinkles, pigmentation disorders, sunspots, immediate darkening of the pre-formed melanin while UVB rays are a source of sunburns and tanning by stimulating melanocytes to produce melanin rapidly. It has also been found that pro-longed exposure to both of these rays can induce ageing and skin cancer. Health-conscious consumers hence demand a potently shielding Sunscreen for daily application. In such a scenario, a good Sunscreen like the Capital Soleil should fulfill the following factors:
Complete protection: Thorough measure of the Protection factor against both UVB & UVA rays thus protecting the skin’s Health, Youth and Beauty.
High Safety: Should be Hypoallergenic, friendly with sensitive skin, Non-comedogenic
Texture: Should be easily absorbing and should suit different skin types
Resistance: Not influenced or affected by Water or Sweat
So, enjoy a bright and sunny day hesitant-free with Vichy’s Capital Soleil range and open the door to a smooth, soft and sun protected you with your favorite sunscreen this season.
