Dove Summer Glow Review

This is the best gradual tan product I have tried. It doesn't go streaky, the smell isn't horrible and I like that you can build it up over a few days. I also find that it is really nourishing on the skin. I like to exfoliate in the shower then apply it after I have dried off as it seems to sink into the skin best that way. I use it all year round and love how affordable it is.

I find this a perfect match for my skin. Gives my skin a just kissed by the sun glow, not a over-done/over baked look.

If I want to intensify the look, I just repeat the next day. But I am usually happy with one application.

I feel that this product accentuates your natural skin colour by giving it a nice 'glow'. It does gradually build up but nothing too drastic. I guess that is why I like it so much though. I've never been brave enough to get a spray tan out of fear of being orange so this is a nice alternative. The one thing that I warn you about is that after a few showers or a while in the water it can start to run or glug into spots. I usually get a nice spot of orangey goodness in between my boobs, but that is also due to my lack of exfoliation as well haha. Overall a great product and subtle alternative to spray tanning.

This stuff smells amazing, definitely moisturises and gives a tan over time. Last a while, and is great value, good price- cant complain =]

I used to use this product all the time and it gave me quite a nice natural looking tan! However since then I have moved to other products that give me the same result without having that yucky fake tan smell that this one has. I also found it easy to get streaks with this one but have never experienced streaks with the other products I have used. Not sure if my applying skills have just gotten better though

It's that time of year - we're getting the *very* odd warmer day, where jeans are every now and then being shunned for shorts (and a long top, because it's still winter and I'm not crazy!)- oh and I have to get my pins out for a conference in a weeks time (I'm not showing off my legs, just wearing cocktail dresses for two nights). Out comes the trusty Dove Summer Glow!

I love the way that this is perfect for an un-co like me. I've tried using proper tan products but it ends up streaky and patchy and freaky looking! With Dove Summer Glow I can shave, exfoliate and moisturise and after a few applications I've got the colour I want - which is a subtle light brown, with no streaks!

The smell isn't my favourite, but it's still a lot better than a previous product I'd used, my only real moan is that I hate having to wait for it to sink in before I get dressed - but for perfectly tanned pins, I guess them's the breaks kids ;)

If you're a novice to tanning this is worth a shot.

Not sure whether I really love this product or not. I find that I don't really see to much of a difference when I use this alone. Now I tend to use this along with a spray tanning product (at the moment sugarbaby) so as to not over do the spray products.

I do like that this product is not crazy orange tan after one use. I like that it works well in conjunction with another tanning product if you are looking for a quicker tan. I like that it is easy to use and does not come out streaky. I just don't like that it takes a while to build up the tan (...I can be impatient!)

Yay!!! I love this, it does exactly what it says it will and smells great, unlike a lot of others out there. After using this 3 times I have an amazing golden tan colour and if you saw my legs before hand you would be truly amazed :) .. No need to lie in the sun hours on end with this on hand..

I use this in the months leading up (and through if I haven't seen much sun) to summer on my white legs. I always exfoliate with my exfoliating gloves (making sure to focus on my ankles, and knees) in the shower, shave my legs, and moisturize well and I really like the colour one application leaves. Even with the care I take beforehand I do seem to get darker spots around the edges of the underside of my knee cap, but a little exfoliation once the tan has developed helps to lighten it up.

Even though it can leave darker patches where your skin is dry, with a little care this tan works perfectly for me and is the right shade.

I used this stuff for a while...until I realised how orange I was! I have whiter than paper legs (The only part of my body that will not tan), and this tan made "oompa loompa orange" look tame. It look OK for the first application, but then I'd have to wait for it to completely disappear before I applied it again. If I applied it too soon, I'd put an Orange to shame...
