Dove Summer Glow Review

I have been using this a lot this Summer and have been loving it. I wouldn't say this replaces a fake tan, but it gives me similar results with gradual use. I have been using the medium to dark shade and love the glow it gives. It's affordable and has lasted me a long time, you don't need a lot to use a lot to get results. It's moisturising enough and I will continue to use and probably repurchase when I run out. It does have a slight scent, that distinct scent of fake tan. It doesn't bother me, but would not recommend if you were sensitive to the fake tan smell!

I use this in the months leading up (and through if I haven't seen much sun) to summer on my white legs. I always exfoliate with my exfoliating gloves (making sure to focus on my ankles, and knees) in the shower, shave my legs, and moisturize well and I really like the colour one application leaves. Even with the care I take beforehand I do seem to get darker spots around the edges of the underside of my knee cap, but a little exfoliation once the tan has developed helps to lighten it up.

Even though it can leave darker patches where your skin is dry, with a little care this tan works perfectly for me and is the right shade.

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.

I've been using Dove summer glow since it came onto the market in about 2007, and am a big fan. I'm too lazy to fuss about with other self tanners, but this product is great. I just rub it on, and gradually develop a nice tan. It never goes orange, and is easy to avoid streaks as well, as long as you rub it in like you would moisturiser. I plan on using this product for a long time!

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!

This is my go to winter product to keep my skin with a natural looking tan over the winter months. True to it's name it is a GRADUAL tan meaning you won't get a summer tan after the first use. After a few days of use, it produces a nice, natural looking tan.

It was an ok moisturise but didnt tan at all even when being used daily for weeks. It is supposed to be a gradual tan bt I guess im just to impatient for that

This moisturiser is awesome for someone who is a bit iffy about "going the whole hog" with something like a spray tan. Its light and non greasy and has a nice smell. I liked the golden tone it gave my skin and the fact that it gradually made my skin look tan, rather than going from "albino brown" to "oompa loompa orange" I love that it is a decent sized bottle and its reasonably priced, especially when its on sale. Will definitely be using again in summer. THUMBS UP!
