Holy Grail

I absolutely love this product, I love being nice and tan all year round and Dove Summer Glow helps me maintain an even and natural tan! I use the dark and it seems to just work with my skin beautifully. The scent is OK, nothing I would rave about but definitely not yuck. It is the perfect texture - beautiful and rich which leaves your skin looking healthy and hydrated!

Tips: Wash your hands thoroughly after applying!

Natural tan

I love Dove products. I always have a bottle of Dove Summer Glow. I have olive skin so choose medium to dark.

I think Dove Summer Glow is excellent value for money and goes a long way.

Packaging is standard and I always end up tipping the bottle on it's head to get the final lot of moisturiser. Although, I would prefer a pump dispenser.

You can honestly go from looking like white bait to having a sun kissed tan in 48 hours. If I have a last minute event, I will lather myself twice daily and just like magic I look like I have been lying on a beach somehwere warm.

But..... I do have to be careful as my technique applying is not too flash and I can end up with slighlty more "tanned" knees and elbows. lol. And you MUST wash your hands thoroughly after use or they will look silly and advertise what you have been doing.

Dove Body Glow mositurises your skin and leaves feeling soft and smooth. Texture of the moisturiser is thick and sometimes you have to give the bottle a good shake as it settles.

I always wait a few minutes after applying before getting dressed.

The fragrance is subtle, fruity but fresh. And other users of Dove Body Glow will know you are wearing it, from the scent.

Tips: Exfoliate before using and definitely wash your hands thoroughly after applying!

A summer staple

I have used this for a few years now and it is the only self tanning product I use. Why? Because it has the least offensive smell and it is virtually fool proof. It is also the only Dove product I currently use. The package is easy to squeeze and hold on to with slippery hands. It can also be stored upside down on the lid, making it easy to get all the product out. I actually quite like the smell, which to me is quite tropical. It doesn't really have that distinctive fake tan smell. I usually only use it on my legs so I can't smell it when wearing it. It has a nice thick consistently so it doesn't run. It makes my legs feel really smooth and moisturised too. It does take awhile to build up colour as it is best to use little and often to avoid streaks. I'm fair but I have used the dark one before to build the colour faster. The colour is still fine but I'm more likely to get streaks using a darker one. This is also great as a tan extender. You can just use it daily as a body moisturiser. I do tend to exfoliate before using (sometimes that just means shaving my legs) I don't always bother to moisturise knees, ankles first. A 400ml bottle has lasted me the entire summer, including a trip to the tropics. I will definitely be repurchasing again next summer.

Tips: Strange but true: since I've started drinking carrot and orange juice everyday my skin has developed its own natural glow!

Tan

I love this product! It is so easy to apply and actually leaves you with a nice gradual tan. I apply 2 coats before i go to bed and i wake up with a nice summer tan that lasts a few days. so easy to use and so cheap!

Tips: Make sure you wash your hands after!!!

Glowing skin

absolutely love this product, I tend to buy it in the summer season between december-feb as I think thats the best season to be wearing the amazing product.

It comes in a tall quite large bottle. easy to squeeze out product. The scent is quite strong but nice when applied on skin.

The product applies nicely onto skin giving a nice layer of coverage, it makes your skin look immaculent, glowing, shiny and a nice natural look

The best gradual tanner!

I purchased this in preparation for the upcoming summer season and was honestly so surprised an happy to find something at this amazing of a price. I bought it at kmart for 9.30 and used it twice and within the week you could already see a difference. The product itself doesn't really have any colour to it so at first I wasn't sure how dark it would be. You definitely get a gradual tan which I quite like as it doesn't make your fake tan look 'fake'. It also feels like a regular moisturiser so you could just use it as that once a week if you wanted to just add a natural glow to your body for summer.

Tips: Rub it in real well and make sure it is otherwise you'll get streaks. Also wash your hands with soap straight after

Great gradual tanner

I use this from time to time on my legs during summer. I am quite pale so I much prefer a gradual tan to a fake tan. It defiantly does do what it is meant to. You don’t look orange or streaky. It apples quite thick and does take some time to dry which is a downside but it is quicker than fake tan and you don’t have to worry about it rubbing on your clothes. Not a huge fan of the smell though.

Tips: Wash your hands afterwards as it does leave a slight mark if you don’t

I love this product, it keeps my skin feeling lovely and soft, doesn’t make my skin look unnatural, the tan is gradual and subtle. Gives you a tan without having to spend time on the sun....LOVE IT!!!

I really do like this!

I frequently use this and have for years. It does exactly what it says it should. A lot of fake tanning products I've found streaked or looked unnatural, however this product works wonders on my skin and doesn't leave me patchy, moisturises really well too.

Tips: Make sure to wash off palms straight after use.

Great

I have been using this product off and on for years. I used to think it took forever to dry and felt quite wet for a long time too as I’ve read in previous reviews but it turns out the trick is, is to apply only a small amount. That way it dries a-lot faster and has the same result. I leave mine over night wearing long pjs and then wash off in the morning so I don’t leave the house with the fake tan smell it has.
