Great for a natural tan!

I love love love this moisturiser! I have olive skin and like to maintain this through winter as well as go a shade or two darker in the summer. The bottle is a decent size and the moisturiser comes out really easily. I love to use this straight after a shower and I rub the moisturiser in circular motions, making sure to apply evenly. I have the medium to dark shade and I love the fact that a day after using this I already have a natural looking tan. I don't find this product to be patchy or orange at all and it is so moisturizing on my body! I use this every day and find that exfoliating every few days helps keep my tan smooth and even. I find my skin really does look like it has a nice sun kissed glow to it and it is so easy to maintain. I would recommend this to others who want a natural glow to their skin, or even a light tan. It's very easy to use and maintain, it's really affordable (can usually pick this up from countdown on sale for $6) and it is great for hydrating and moisturizing the skin. Sometimes I use this on my face as well because my face is always a lot paler than my body. As a mum I like the convenience of this product and it really works for my busy lifestyle.

Tips: Exfoliate every few days to keep tan even. Use only every few days if you are quite fair as this product gives colour to your skin straight away.

Dove

Have been using this product for a few years now and it never fails to make my skin shine and look tanned aswell as moisturising it!! I don't use this every day but a few days before an event or going out and it's perfect! Deff apply after a shower and wait and let dry before getting dressed or it may streak, also wash hands throughly after, I've been caught with orangey hands hehe

Always a great price. Easy to apply, never streaky if applied properly ;-)

Tips: Apply in circles , Let cream dry Wash hands after :-)

Fabulous Faux Tan for Fair Maidens

I love the fact that this product provides a gradual build up which safeguards against any orange looking fake tan diasters! Great product that goes on smoothly and is not greasy. This is my trustly year long gradual build up tane and being a rather fair skinned person I find I dont have to use it too many times before I get desired tan.

Tips: Make sure you utilise exfoliant before using, like all fake tans to prevent patchy areas

It's Nice But Not Great

I want to say I loved this lotion, and it was ok. Last summer I used it twice a day. I bought it because I ran out of my usual lotion with a self tanner and couldn't find it anywhere. I chose Dove because they are well known for being good for the skin so I decided they were the best choice. The lotion was nice, smelt fine, way smooth and creamy and didn't leave stains behind like the other brand did sometimes. However the subtle tan was so subtle I couldn't see it with the Dove lotion and the lotion was quite thick so I went through the bottle quicker than usual. All in all, I would get it if I couldn't find anything I liked better. It was lovely on the skin, but gave no subtle tan.

Dove Summer Glow

For $7.99 i purchased Doves summer Glow gradual tan used it twice, and already my skin looked and felt amazing i was beach ready in one day! i had no problems with streaks or unwanted orange clusters on my dry spots. My only issue with it, was its after smell about n hr after application it had a lingering off smell on me that i couldn't get rid of because it was coming out of my pores and i did not want to risk streaks by showering so quickly afterwards. So yes the product is great but smell not so much .

Tips: Apply perfume on afterwards to hide that unfortunate smell.

dove summer skin!

i already have an olive complexion, but you can never be too tan! although you can be too orange which if i used this for too long i felt like i did start to look orangy instead of having a more natural tan but all my other friends who have used it, it has look great so may just be my weird skin! but overall it is so affordable you cant go too wrong, just make sure you apply perfectly cause it isnt as forgiving as temporary tanning cream :P

Dove Summer Glow

Have used this the last few years, find it great because it is subtle. Can usually get it for a bargain at the Supermarket. Other cheaper products I have tried have left my skin too orange. I do find that this ends up patchy on my knees and ankles if I don't exfoliate/moisturise these areas first

Tips: I find it takes 2 days for me to get the right coverage but if I apply on the 3rd day it does not look natural.

My favourite product by far!

I have super pale skin - in fact mu legs look like they belong on a dead person! So I use this religiously nearing the end of spring to take he edge off and develop a good colour by the time bare legs and arms and required.

This is a bargain when on special at the supermaket (under $5!) and works so well. It doesnt go orange or smell like fake tan at all. The only problem I have with it is after using it for a while, it starts faking off my skin leaving darker patches, so I then have to exfoliate it all off and start fresh.

Moisturises well too, and leaves my skin soft and glowing.

Tips: Avoid overdoing ankles, elbows and belly buttons!

Dove Summer Glow

I use this product although I am fair skinned I purchased the darker skin type one and just did one application and in the morning / by evening the results were nice so I did not need to keep applying like I would if I had purchased the lighter skinned one as one application gave me a good tan look and so I got more bang for my buck. Skin is nice and hydrated but some times it can take a while to absorb and dry. The product has been around for years now and I have bought a few bottles on special or because they were having a promotion the product kept well and I prefer it to another brand that bought out the same kind of product. The product does have a smell but it is not bad. I have not tried heaps of self tanners but this would be a preference so far.

Golden Glow

I love using this tanner pre summer I have extremely pastey white legs that really never seem to tan no matter what, so Dove Summer glow helps keep my white legs from blinding people :P

I like to apply after exfoliating and shaving and then apply every 2-3 days it's a lovley absorbant cream that is really moisturizing and has a nice scent. Within a few hours I can see it starting to work.

Like some of the other ladies I do have to exfoliate it off after a few applications and start again as it starts to look a little or little orabe

But for the price it's a great tanner
