Dove Summer Glow Fair

A nice easy moisturizing self tanner. Great for beginners and those that want a subtle tan. Doesn't last long if you use it occasionally as it washes off but is good for a bit of colour or if you're planning an outing. This can be built on with regular use and isn't streaky like some other self tanners.

Tips: Moisturize before adding this for a better application.

Pretty good gradual tan

I really like this and use it on a pretty regular basis on my white legs!

It can leave you feeling a bit oily but it's fine once it fully dries down. I find it takes about 8-12 hours to see a real difference. It doesn't make me look orange and provides a nice, sun-kissed glow. It's buildable and doesn't look unnatural.

It's affordable and I find the big bottles last me a long time!

Tips: Wash hands after applying!

Great!

I think we can all agree we secretly love this stuff. It has a very summery signature scent, and ya girl can smell it from a mile away. One of my fave things is pulling this tanner out after the winter and breathing in the smell of the summer to come :-) it has omen of those crappy clip lids that always break off, but the actual product is legit. Cheap and effective. It’s not like Bondi or sugar baby but this product is for the kid who is subtle and all about developing the tan over time. It is also a fantastic moisturiser.

Tips: I’m your classic white girl-not tan (Wah) and not albino. I’ve been using the fair to medium product and it doesn’t do stupid amounts of tanning which I like.

Subtle natural glow

The packaging makes this product easy to use and apply. I like the smell of the product. I have used the dark version of this product and it left me with a natural glow. I have very white skin, but this works for me. It takes about six hours for it to reach maximal affect. When it comes of it can streak, so it is important to rub the product in well.

Tips: I usually put this product on after a shower, as it comes off in the shower slightly. I put quite a bit on and leave to soak in and dry.

Takes a while to build up

I bought this in two different colours, eventually getting darker as it didn’t really make me that much darker. I also didn’t like the strong fake tan smell that you (and everyone else around you) can smell the entire time you have it on.

Admittedly I don’t moisturiser my entire body everyday so potentially it could work for you if you do. I would much rather use an instant fake tan than this.

Easy to apply

Dove summer glow is easy to apply as you are only putting on a little amount of tanning ingredient at a time. Experiment with this moisturiser so you can see how it works on you. I am a fan of Sugar Baby and this product is the same awesome colour!

Tips: Start applying daily 3-4 days before you need to look brown. Give the product time to develop. Wait 1-2 days before putting on another layer as the colour develops differently on different skins. Apply about the same amount of product to the same area of skin so you know what coverage you are getting. Start with the medium colour and once this has developed swap to the darker colour. Apply every day till you are as dark as you want to be. Rub off any harsh lines gently with a pumice stone. You won’t remove application mistakes but any streaking will be less noticeable with exfoliation.

That Glo' Tho

Have used this for years as my go to tanning cream (before making the effort to tan more naturally). Easy to apply, has a pleasant smell and produces a beautiful, natural tan. Non greasy and doesn't remain tacky feeling for ages after application.

Tips: Apply normal moisturiser to your hands before applying tanner so that the tanning cream has less chance of soaking into your palms before cleaning off. No one likes tanned palms!

Glowing review

I am absolutely crushing on this. I have had the same bottle for two summers now. Its proved to be effective and long lasting.

I am the Casper of the family and I don’t usually mind my pale skin but I do like a little tan on the legs. So I apply this after my shower at night.

The bottle is huge! It’s a nice creamy solution with a pleasant scent.. being honest there is also the most faint tan scent that can be detected but it’s short lived.

Light colour cream that’s quickly absorbed so I’ve never seen it mark my clothes or bedding.

I love that it lightly builds my tan as I am definitely not an all over tanner so don’t want to look too mismatched I don’t spread tan and don’t really have a lot of skin prep time so this is perfect it moisturises and builds a tan. Perfect for my lead up to Christmas.

Summer Glow

Dove’s summer glow is a gradual self tanner that slowly gives you skin a natural sun kissed glow. I enjoy how easy this moisturiser rubs into the skin and doesn’t rub off on my clothing and sheets after applying. It also leaves my skin super soft.

Tips: Be extra careful applying around knees ankles ect...

slight glow

i bought this at the supermarket. the words summer glow had me curious, and i usually like dove. its a good brand.

the smell is quite nice, i really only use this on my legs though so its not too noticeable. the lotion is off white but when it dries on the lid its brown.

it is a very gradual tanner, but you have to use it every day to get any coloring out of it. it rubs in easily. it took too long to make me look tanned but i felt like my legs were more moisturized.
