Dove Summer Glow Review

I have super pale skin, and when I try to tan its very uneven. Dove summer glow is amazing and so easy to apply, being a gradual tan I can’t muck it up!! If I want it to be dark fast I will just spend the whole day adding layers until I’m happy with the colour. It’s the best tan I have tried and would 100% recommend it to anyone after that summer glow. :)

This product is amazing! you can do one layer and it gives a nice little glow or the more layers you add the more tan you become. Although if you put too much on it can get really dark in the dryer areas ( elbows and knees) so be careful :)

This tan (for me personally) did not work out that great as I found that the more you gradually applied it, the more room there was for it to streak- which it did. The first couple of coats went on quite nicely but then there seemed to be a buildup and it went quite streaky and had a slight orange tinge. I would still prefer my instant tans over this but i can see how it would also work perfectly for others!

Dove Summer Glow has been a staple in my beauty cabinet for many years. It's great when you want a touch of colour in winter or to add to your natural tan in summer. It is buildable, but I find it gets a tad streaky and sticks in dry areas when used for more than three days in a row. It has a pleasant smell when you first apply it but gets a bit of a fake tan tang, so best to use when you're staying in.

Dove make the best gradual tanner, in my opinion. It isn't strongly chemically scented, one bottle per season is more than enough, and it's inexpensive. I go very white (we're talking vampire white here) over winter and this always starts me back on my path to brown, even when the weather is terrible. It doesn't 'tan' you as such - you won't get that spray-tan effect...but if you're like me, you would rather build up a gentle tan a little at a time, and this product does that brilliantly. Added bonus? It's actually a decent lotion, even without the tanning component.

I've tried both the fair/medium, and the medium/dark - the darker one gets the result more quickly, so it really just depends what you're after :)

I really like this product, it gives you a nice gradual tan. The fragrance of it doesn't much appeal to me and it does take a wee while to dry, but colour does not come off on the sheets and works fast. I would buy this again.

Love this product. I have been using it for the last couple of years. When I don't replace a used bottle quickly enough I'm astounded at how pasty my legs look. Easy to apply and it gives a really good colour - no orangey shades.

Great colour, goes on well and lasts ages but irritates my skin. Would recommend it if you don't have sensitive skin.

Easy to use, and works well. Does not leave streak lines and does not leave you with a horrible orange colour like other brands. Use this over a few days to gradually achieve the colour you want. This is nice and gentle on your skin, and does not smell too overpowering. This is by far the best moisturising self tanner ive tried. Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and harmful UV rays and use Dove Summer Glow to achieve a natural looking tan!

I actually wasn't expecting much from this but I was pretty surprised! It gave a nice light tan. And I could definitely notice a difference in colour. I wouldn't use it again only because I've found other lotions which are deeper in colour but wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. It scent is pleasant and I found the lotion easy to apply due to it's light texture. It's affordable and does the trick. I would use it up to 3x weekly and it lasted me around 3 months.
