Perfect Slow Tanner

This is my go to moisturiser for a healthy natural tanned look while adding moisture to dry skin. If you want to look darker just keep using it daily until you are happy with your colour. It brightens any faded tan, great in spring when you haven’t seen the sun. Doesn’t streak, a subtle couple of shades darker. I always get good comments when I use summer glow.

Tips: Wash your hands straight after use so they don’t get stained.

Lovely product

It's rare that you come across a product that does exactly as it claims but this is definitely one of the good ones! A good moisturizer with a subtle tan that builds up over time.

Tips: You do need to keep using this to keep the tan it will fade as quickly as it was gained. Dont forget to wash your hands! No one likes orangutan hands.

Quick & Easy Glow!

I love this fake tan! There are probably better fake tan moisturizers out there, but for the price, this one does the job just fine! I only use this product on my legs. I have never had streaks, patches, or orange issues from this product! Even after 1-2 uses my legs look naturally tanned. The formula is moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling smooth and healthy. I don't mind the smell of this product at all - I actually really like it! I also like the simplicity of the packaging. It isn't over-done or 'trashy' - it is simple, golden, and clearly states the brand. Love everything about this product! It is as quick and simple as applying moisturizer and I have never had any problems with it!

Tips: Always wash your hands after applying fake tan!

Pretty good.

It smells nice, and isn't too strong, therefore it can be used as a very gradual build up. The only problem is that considering it is also a moisturiser, it can be easy to use too much too often, and end up with the orange streaks that one tries to avoid by staying away from standard self-tanners.

It smells nice, and it is a great size bottle.

Tips: It will still make your hands orange if you don't wash them immediately after applying. Make sure you use up the bottle in a decent amount of time (probably within a year) because I have used older bottles where the ingredients have reacted or settled and resulted in a less than ideal colour.

Sun kissed - yes

According to Dove their Summer Glow self-tanner will hydrate your skin whilst providing a natural summer glow all year round. I totally agree. I love this product. I use the normal to dark version most days after showering. Having said that I have gone a few days without applying and my tan hasn't faded. I use the product on my legs. The consistency of the cream is just right and absorbs well. The product is easy to apply and sinks in easily allowing me to put on trousers pretty much immediately. I like the subtle realistic colour, the kind my skin would go naturally. Used over a few days the colours develops nicely. I like that there is no 'tanning' smell and its light subtle scent is a big plus. Great moisturising - my skin feels supple and soft after using. When it does fade the effect is quite even without any of the patchiness from some fake tans. A great product.

Tips: Exfoliate first for a flawless even tan.

Gradual tan with no orange

Best gradual tan i've used. No orange effect once the tan starts to develop and easy to maintain the tan once you have got to a level of colour you would like. I have the full bottle, I use my Dove Summer glow heading into the warmer seasons.

Tips: Start to apply at least a week before you are wanting to see the effects of the tan as it is gradual

Just like mousturiser

This lotion is just like moisturiser so it doesn't turn you orange straight away like some tanners. It smells nice and does leave my skin nice and smooth. I applied several days in a row and got a slight colour change. In a way this is good because it doesn't leave tou looking fake. However, if you are looking for a darker or faster tan, I wouldn't recommend using this product.

Tips: Always wash hands after use. You can't see it on hands after application, but it will show up eventually and not in a good way

Dove summer glow

Worked well for a gradual tan, I used the darkest skin tone available to achieve a darker tan. To me the smell is somewhat off putting - different scents would be great to bring to the range! This product is a great moisturiser for a tanning product, leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The colour achieved after two or so days of application is a natural looking tan just like when you sun bath, no orange fake looking colours, not at all patchy and no streak marks left behind. They only negative is the product will stain your hands if not washed after application. If you after a very dark tan I wouldn't recommend this as this product will achieve a natural sun kissed look only

Tips: Make sure hands are well moisturised before application and wash straight after

Darkest shade not dark enough

The shade I’m using is the medium to dark and at first I was a bit worried just looking at the packaging but after using it for awhile now I’m not entirely happy with the shade. I’d say I have quite a medium semi olive skin tone, not dark but not light either. I definitely would recommend the medium to dark colour for paler skin tones to just because it is a gradual tan which means it isn’t dark straight away so I feel like it would be perfect for 2 or 3 shades lighter than me. Applying it once you get a pretty natural colour. I’ve definitely noticed that applying everyday will create a darker colour which is good because you can choose the colour you want. The scent is nice and the product also doesn’t streak that much either. You just have to make sure you’re applying it thoroughly.
