A bus complete with Dove branding will first stop off at the Bullring in Birmingham, followed by Liverpool One tomorrow (14 October), and finally Westfield London on Friday (16 October). 

Passers-by will be invited to stop off at the bus to discuss what makes them feel body confident, with responses to be shared on social media with the #BeRealTour hashtag, to help encourage and inspire others. 

There will also be opportunities to receive free mini-manicures and hand massages, using Dove’s DermaSpa product range. 

Superdrug is demonstrating its support for the campaign by offering half-price Dove products within its stores, and the company's branding is evident on the exterior of the bus. 

Brand ambassadors from agency N2O will be on hand throughout the tour to educate members of the public about the campaign.
