Dove Summer Glow Review

Just finished my 400ml bottle... :) very happy wih the outcome.. my skin is normally very fair and now it looks like I have a sun kissed tan :) Very happy customer and will definitely be buying this product again. By far the best tanning lotion I have come across and the price is awesome! Love the fragrance too :)

I'm the type of person that does my best in the time I have and that just has to do! I used to apply this the same as a normal moisturizer, trying my best to get even coverage on my legs then going about with my day, well day one is great! I see a slight tan that gradually builds up each day with prolonged usage. Unfortunately for me, my knees are dryer than the rest of my legs so require more lotion so end up several shades darker, an almost orange colour. I try again, and end up with streaks on the back of my calves. This product has the potential to be fantastic , but I dont see it as user-friendly for busy ladies on the go.

It's okay. There are better self tanners/ moisturizers out there though. It's good value for it's price but i'd rather pay a bit more for something better. I personally like the St Moriz self tanner mousse, it's easy to use and doesn't leave you looking blotchy and orange, it's build-able and goes more bronze than orange based. Using this product constantly for a week or so doesn't leave a nice even tan, but it's better than being pasty white in my opinion.

I used this weekend after a friend raving about it. I wasnt as in love with it as her. I disliked the smell it smells like that really strong fake tan smell you get. It looked ok on my arms as they are abit more tanned naturally but looked awful and orangey and patchy on my legs. I will be trying something else next time. Not sure which one as there are so many on the market now. Guess its just trial and error and what suits one person doesnt suit another, as i see many people on here do like it this one.

I tried this one, in the vain hope that I would be able to escape my year round pasty-whiteness. But alas! It (slowly) turned my legs orangey, as well as the palms of my hands. But not even fake-tan orange.... I still looked pasty-white, but with a orange tinge. It was strange, and certainly not a good look. My legs were silky smooth and moisturized though, so that was nice.

I love the smell of this, and I think its great if you're looking for something that gives you a nice glow but doesn't make you look overdone, like some can. I did find it could give an uneven look if not applied correctly, and I'm really not good at stuff like this, so it could have been down to me (actually it probably was lol)

I have used this product for years, fuss free, goes on well and the colour is good. Only downside is the smell, the typical 'fake tan' smell.

I do love what it does, I only ever use it on my legs and for an olive skinned person, I use the lighter one on my legs and its a very natural colour. But the smell of it is kind of stinky, it smells nice when I apply it, but after a while (I guess when its working) the smell is kind of chemically. But the tip to avoid this is to pop it on 30 mins before bed and you don't get the side effect smell

I love this stuff! Probably the only Dove product I actually like. Reasonable price. Easy to apply and gives you a great gradual tan. Only downside is that I'm not a fan of the scent. I have been using this for a few years on my legs and it's great :)

I've been using Dove summer glow since it came onto the market in about 2007, and am a big fan. I'm too lazy to fuss about with other self tanners, but this product is great. I just rub it on, and gradually develop a nice tan. It never goes orange, and is easy to avoid streaks as well, as long as you rub it in like you would moisturiser. I plan on using this product for a long time!
