Dove Summer Glow

I purchased the Medium to Dark Skin formula even though I am fair skinned. It goes on easy and has a pleasant enough smell. The colour builds up after a few days and then I just used every third day or so to keep the colour even. I liked that it didn't go patchy throughout the week so it was never obvious that I was wearing a 'fake tan'. I did find that it didn't dry vey quickly which made it awkward to use at night time before bedtime, and you definitely need to wash your hands after using. A good product that does what it says it will but I probably wouldn't repurchase due to the drying time.

Tips: Don't use when you are in a hurry to get dressed or go to bed :)

Love this!

I love this Gradual tan mousturiser! It's super hydrating with a nice summery scent. You only need to use it for 2 to 3 days to start noticing the tanning affect. It's super easy to apply evenly, and doesn't leave you streaky. It does seem to take a little while to fully absorb though, but that's not a major issue.

Tips: Make sure to wash your hands after use!

Great for that slightly sun kissed look

I found this product great, gave me the slightly sun kissed look I was going for, my legs are quite fear in the winter and using this gave me that slight tan look that did not look fake. Prolonged use gave the best results, My legs are quite dry and the dove summer glow gave a great moister to my legs. Great product for the price

Tips: Spread on evenly or you may get a streaky look

You don't need much!

Ok I first purchased this in the darker shade expecting that it wouldnt have much colour to it! Wrong!

I slathered it on hoping for some colour before braving a dress the next day and colour I got! Too much actually... I must have used too much, it was orange and streaky! I totally underestimated the tanning power!

I purchased the lighter shade and applied it sparingly, over a few days I built up a nice colour. Much better!

Tips: Exfoliate first! Use after the shower and use sparingly :)

Subtle Colour

I love this product, being a pale Ginger the sun and I never agree so when I need a bit of a Glow and a pick me up I reach for this. Because it has a gradual build up of colour there is very little chance of turning orange. Application is as easy as moisturizing and dries fast. I found the light to medium too light for my liking so I use the Dark. The bottle is a great size so it really is value for money. The scent is nothing offensive. I find myself reaching for it in winter to just give a slight hint of colour to my skin.

Tips: Like any fake tan remember to wash your hands after using it. I also found it irritated my skin if I had just shaved so my tip would be if you have sensitive skin wait a bit before you apply.

Nice substitute

I purchased this in the summer to help pro long my fake tan. I have dry skin and the consistency is that of a moisturiser (definitely thicker than a lotion) so it was enough to use as a moisturiser when I got out of the shower. I didn't mind the smell, even though I know some people hate it. To me it smelt like herbal essence shampoo. I am medium skin tone, and tan easily in the sun in summer but I avoid the sun baking because I'm now in my late 20's and already have dry skin so I am trying to take care of it as much as possible. I find it doesn't give great results on its own. But, if you get a fake tan and you use this in the mornings after a shower it will make the fake tan last that extra few days. It is definitely worth the price. The amount of product makes this last for quite awhile.

Tips: Don't purchase it expecting to give you a gradual obvious tan, it will not do that. Purchase it with the intent to supplement your fake tan. Or if you are after a subtle glow and that's it, give it a try, but you may need to build it up over a couple days to get the results you want. Please be aware the glow can have a tendency to run a bit orange.

Love

As a pale-skinned girl who legit does not tan in summer (like, ever!) I lovvvvvvve this product! It smells good, it feels good, and it works good, too. For me, I only need one or two applications for a nicely tanned result. I would recommend maybe trialling this product before debuting your glowing tan though :)

Tips: Use only a small amount to start as each skin type is (obviously) different. Maybe trial it during the winter months so you can get a feel for how dark your skin may go (and so you can cover up if you use too much!).

Works really well!

I really like this product, easy to use and hard to mess up! It does however take quite a while to dry and does have a bit of a funky smell, so my favourite way to use it is outside while sunbathing!

Tips: If youre looking for more instant results, take the day before a big event or whenever you want to look golden, and just apply like normal. Let it dry for a bit, and add another layer. I do this three or four times, then let dry completely, and the next day have a lovely golden glow!

Perfect for all skin types

I have extremely pale skin and love a summer glow. When i first started using this product i used the 'fair to medium' shade and it was absolutely fine. However, i still wanted to be slightly tanner. So i tried out the 'medium to dark' one. It didn't make me look orange at all. It was a completely natural looking 'summer glow'. Would recommend this product to anyone first trying out tanning. This product is great if you get a professional tan done and you just apply the Dove Summer Glow as a moisturiser daily after a shower. It makes the tan last so much longer and doesn't show the patchiness as the professional tan starts to fade.

Tips: Make sure to moisturise all dry patches on your skin beforehand so that the tan doesn't cling to them.

Dove Summer Glow

Have purchased this a few times. As long as you don't use too much it leaves a nice light tan, although it can build up and be streaky or splotchy if not spread right.

It's easy to find and afforable (available in pretty much every supermarket and the like) so is a good entry level product.

The only real negative I found was it's a bit thick and can be hard to get out of the bottle.
