Dove Summer Glow Review

Fake tan and me have a love-hate relationship, and unfortunately my experience with this product leans more towards 'hate' than 'love'. The bottle boasts that it will give your skin a 'natural' looking tan gradually, what it did in fact do was turn me yellow; which to be fair is a natural look, but not a healthy or appealing one.I guess I could be 'too pale' for fake tan, but the bottle swatches showing 'before and after' weren't too much darker than me.

The second thing that disappointed me about this self-tan was the sheer greasiness of it and how it seemed to sit on top of the skin rather than sinking in like it promised to do. I waited about an hour for it to 'fully absorb'- hoping that the greasiness would disappear, but nope.

Overall I would not recommend this product to people with very fair skin, but perhaps people with different skin tones might have more luck than I did.

Have used this the last few years, find it great because it is subtle. Can usually get it for a bargain at the Supermarket. Other cheaper products I have tried have left my skin too orange. I do find that this ends up patchy on my knees and ankles if I don't exfoliate/moisturise these areas first

I have used this product for a few years, love it and will continue to use it. All year round suitable, works well and is a nice colour (I use the darker one) - takes off the "glow" of whiteness that a lot of us have lol

I like the natural glow this lotion gives to my skin. It's not orange or streaky, it's not glittery or shimmery, it doesn't collect around my knees or elbows, and it fades naturally without looking splotchy or uneven. I also like the fact it's a moisturiser too - I think my dry skin would experience patchiness with a true self-tanner, but no problems with this.

I do have a few issues with this product, though. Firstly, the smell. I find it really gross! It's very 'biscuit-y' in scent. Secondly, it doesn't really soak into my skin very well, and it being a tanning product, I'm always afraid I'm going to stain clothing or towels or bedsheets or furniture. It hasn't happened yet but perhaps that's because I'm careful?

This is a lovely moisturiser with the added bonus of giving a nice natural looking tan. Gradual build up of a natural tan if using daily, no streaks or orange glow, and at an affordable price. Comes in 2 sizes, and the smaller one is ideal for taking on holiday so you can keep up the daily application. I use immediately after bathing, and generally dont wait for it to dry completely before dressing. It never affects the tan, or my clothing. A good product for a natural sun kissed look.

Over about a week using in the morning and evening, I saw the progress come along as a little bit off a summery glow/tan built. Although I used the fair skin one I found that it still looked a little bit more orangy on me than natural and sometimes It would be quite patchy! really moisturising though and overall quite good!

This is product is amazing! It is my go to Summer moisturiser and tanner combo all in one! :) The scent is delicious too, which is an added bonus !

It really is a great moisturiser for dry summer legs, but the thing i love the most is that it gradually builds a natural looking sun-kissed tan over your whole body! Doesn't look orange or uneven, it's very simple to use and apply, just like applying any moisturiser.

I've used heaps of different tanning creams and lotions and have found this one is my all time favourite !!

Comes in a freestanding bottle and doesn't leak at all which is great for packing in your overnight bag or beach bag ! And one bottle lasts me all Summer long, so very good value for money

Is very well priced and can be purchased from any supermarket :)

I highly recommend this Dove Summer Glow moisturising tanning cream, it's fabulous and a must-have for all women looking for the gorgeous sun-kissed glow this Summer

I love this product it is an oldie but a goodie...and at $6.99 at the supermarket its a lovely little way to slip a little glamour into your beauty routine.

I have very fair skin so when I'm looking for a tanning product I have to be careful to use products that aren't too bronze or orange. I love Dove Summer Glow because it is gentle enough to use every day and the color just gradually builds up without becoming streaky or sticky...better still it moisturizes and nourishes my skin as it works in. This is a great way to build up a slight tan heading into summer with very natural results.

Easy to apply with no streaks, the smell is great an I love using the product, it's a great price for a great tan. I also love how it drys fast so you don't have to wait around before dressing.

I have used this product a few times and it does moisturise nicely but I feel personally it doesn't leave a very natural look on my legs quite orangey and fake. It is sold for a good price at supermarkets so if you are on the run and need something I recommend
