People know The Hokey Pokey as a classic, feel-good song and dance, and Dove and Ciara teamed up to remix the childhood favorite into an empowering call to Drop Your Skinhibitions. "This version of 'The Hokey Pokey' encourages us to love the skin we're in and do what makes us happiest without fear or filter, because we all deserve to feel seen, celebrated and supported—not covered up," shared the GRAMMY award-winning global artist.
According to Dove, 76% of women avoid clothes that reveal uneven skin, and they often make everyday choices based on what they assume should be covered up. This Hokey Pokey Remix and campaign, celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Dove Cream Serum line, empowers people to feel better in their skin and change their minds about having to pile on layers or avoid destinations like the beach.
