Dove Summer Glow

This is a great product for those wanting a very subtle glow without risking becoming an Oompa Loompa or ending up with a streaky finish. Gradually builds over several applications to a light tan. The scent is relatively pleasant for a fake tan and fades quickly. Best supermarket product out there.

Tips: For more even and gradual coverage, mix it with your usual moisturiser when applying.

Dove summer glow

I like this product to build a gradual tan on my legs. Haven't had much success with it on other areas. As with all tanners you need to pay attention to areas like your knees and ankles. The smell and consistency is great and I always have some in my cupboard.

Tips: Make sure you wash in the creases of your fingers when you're finished so you don't get a line of fake tan like me haha!

Love this!

This is such a great product as it really does produce a subtle gradual tan, easy to use, and in such an affordable price! I used this in the few months leading up to my wedding, and I had many compliments on my summer glow, without anyone suspecting that I had a fake tan!

I love that it's a gradual tanning lotion, as it's easy for absolute beginner like myself. There's no strange streaks or weird orange stains, and it just looks like you've been having a healthy dose of sunshine.

As I have dry skin, I was worried that my skin would not be moisturised enough while I used this lotion. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my skin was still moisturised as this tanning lotion feels lovely and soft on my skin.

Tips: Make sure to apply it past your ankles. When I first started using it, the glow was so subtle that I didn't notice till later that I had a tan line around my feet as I wasn't applying the lotion past my ankles!

Soo easy

I love this product, it is so easy to use and I don't have to feel like I am blinding anyone when I reveal my legs for the first time after winter. Not only does it add a bit of colour but it is a great moisturiser as well.

Tips: Make sure to exfoliate, especially knees and elbows. I normally put a normal moisturiser on these areas as well

Healthy glow

This stuff gives you a subtle tan and moisturises you at the same time! I love this stuff. However it is a bit time consuming because you have to let it dry before putting your clothes on.

The tan gradually builds up on the week, but it gives a natural looking tan. It has a really pleasant smell, not chemically or too strong. You really can't go wrong with this stuff!!

Tips: Rub this stuff in after a shower or bath since your skin is still subtle. It'll make the application smoother. Be sure to wash your hands after rubbing it all in! From personal experience, you can wait till it's about 80% dry before putting clothes on. I don't think it rubs it off since it gradually builds the colour up.

Favourite moisturiser

I love this product as it's not really a tanning product to me, it's just a tinted moisturiser. It really is a subtle tanning lotion. I use it all the time in winter as my legs get very pasty white and this product helps give it a bit more colour without looking fake. It's easy to apply (I just slather it on), it doesn't streak on me and I haven't noticed it coming off on my clothing etc. There seem to be mixed reviews for this product so maybe just get a small bottle - if it doesn't work at least you won't have spent a fortune on it!

Tips: Use after showering & towel drying.

Summer Glow

I have quite fair skin and I like to put a bit of colour on my skin so I look less pasty. Unfortunately, I'm also a bit lazy. I don't like using normal self tanners due to the prep and care of application you have to go through to make sure you don't have streaks. That's why I like this product. You can just slap it on and aside from making sure you are a bit careful to rub it in properly around the joints, it develops into a nice even colour without too much work. I like that it builds slowly with each application so you can get the level of colour you want. I tend to apply two to three days in a row, then one to two days off.

Tips: Even though my skin is quite fair, I get the med-dark one in the summer time to build up colour quicker. The light one is good for winter time when I don't want to be so tanned. Also, make sure you wash your hands after using!

No, too orangey...

I'm quite pale, so I like to use tanning products to give me some colour. I purchased this, hoping it would give me a bronze look. . After a week of using this i cant say I was impressed, very orangey! .Im also not a fan of the smell. I prefer tanning lotions to get a bronzed look & then normal moisturisers to maintain it. I won't repurchase.

Dove Summer Glow

I love this product. We all know the dangers of the sun these days but like to have a healthy looking tan. Blends in really well and really does give a natural looking glow. I apply after my shower as it moisturises too
