The home goods — from woody and floral to musky and gourmand — are currently available at 200 Shoppers Drugs Marts across the country for a limited time.

The Dove Self-Esteem Project launches the #DetoxYourFeed campaign

New research by the Dove Self-Esteem Project proves that half of Canadian teen girls are spending more time online than they are in person with their friends. And with social media feeds filled with beauty advice, one in two girls say that the toxicity of it all causes low self-esteem.

After years of championing wider definitions of beauty and trying to make social media a safer space, the Dove project has launched a new campaign: #DetoxYourFeed. It went live this week with the goal of empowering teens to define their own beauty standards and choose their own influences. Through thoughtful films and educational packages for parents, the campaign highlights how conversations between parents, caregivers and teens (about the dangers of toxic beauty advice) are so important in navigating these challenges.
