I like it

The first time I used this on my legs, it turned out quite patchy, but that was down to me not doing it properly. So a few weeks later, I tried it on my arms. And to my surprise it turned out amazingly well. No streaks, dark patches or harsh lines. And although I was quite pale at the time (before I came out of hibernation) lol, it still look really natural. You couldn't even tell I had any sort of tanning lotion on.

Tips: Apply it the night before you want to do something as it sets better over night :)

Better than a spray tan

This product is quite handy, especially if you don't tan. Only thing I found is you can defiantly see where you used a little but more because it came out darker, almost streaky in places. On my legs which are lily white, I found make my legs look quite yellow.

Tips: Best put in after a shower

Dove Summer Glow

A good product and it is a good gradual tan. I have used the product for some time and for the cost and ease of use I think you would be hard pressed to find something better. Good to use in the lead up to summer when you first bear your legs for the start of summer.

Tips: Run into the skin well and be sure to wash your hands!

Light Tan

I bought this when on holiday as a mosituriser as i got quite sunburnt. After applying every couple of hours the burn had gone and my skin was starting to look normal again. I have been using this for around a year and is fantastic at keeping a gradual tan all year round. One of the best I have ever used, just got to be careful that you dont use too much as it is possible to go a little bit orange

Tips: Apply in circular motions after showering and shaving, also do not use too much to keep the tan gradual. Wash your hands after aswell!

dove summer glow light

This was the first ever self tanning product I have ever tried and I find did is more of a tinted moisturiser. I find it is a really great gradual tan product and have been using it for a couple of years now. I do find however that this product isn't very long lasting and needs to be applied twice daily to make an impact on my skin. This product is very moisturising and does leave your skin looking fresh and glowy. It also isn't to thick or to thin of a formula and applies evenly. find it is really great for the price you pay for it but I will not be repurchasing as I have found a better self tanning product.

Tips: Use a skin exfoliater first to remove all the dead skin or just a good scrub. Shave your legs first so when you are building up your tan you don't remove some of it. And scrub your hands afterwards.

Not a bad price & good even colour

I have used this now for over two years I really like the colour & the price. I have tried other products but kept going back to this. You don't want to use too much just enough to smooth into your skin coating it lightly each time. I found it builds to a nice glow & the scent is not too fake tan-ish. If you keep using it over the winter months it will keep your tan topped up . It is good value & does what it says it will. I will continue to purchase & recommend to friends

Tips: Use a hand cream before applying to help stop tanning your hands & always wash your hands thoroughly immediately after using, making sure you really concentrate on cleaning the lotion from around & under your nails I also found that it needs to be rubbed in well & having your fingers splayed out helps to achieve an even look

Summer Glow

I love this product! It gave me a really even tan over a few days and has a lovely smell. Its quick and easy to put on and doesn't require lot of effort. I did find that if I put it on everyday it did make the tan look fake, however if I applied it every few days it looked real. It does exactly what it says it does and I will definitely continue using it in the future.

Tips: Use after a shower/bath and then wash your hands!

Love it!

I have been using this for a long time and haven't found anything better to deliver a natural, even and gradual tan. It applies easily and sinks in pretty quickly especially if you're out in the sun. As long as you are careful to apply it slowly and evenly with small amounts at a time you should get the desired results. Be careful to purchase the right colour for your skin because i notice when i'm lighter in the winter and apply my medium-dark summer glow it doesn't look as natural as when i use it as a top up in summer. The smell is quite delightful for a fake tan, I would describe it as almost apricot. Also, this might just be a coincidence but when I travelled to Fiji I used this moisturiser every day and I was the only person that didn't get insect bites .Magic insect repellent? Maybe!

Tips: Make sure you do a thorough job of exfoliating before application for best results and don't go too hard applying it twice a day - you will look more natural if you apply it sparingly over the week.

summer glow

This lotion was nice and hydrating, the gradual tan was also quite subtle and nice, but I cannot get past the awful smell!! It's fine when you apply, but the next day it's like this weird B.O smell. I've tried a couple of different tanning moisturisers and they do seem to smell this way. I don't get that with my sugar baby, so I'll stick with that. I'd rather have a separate moisturiser which I don't need to rinse off my hands.

One of my fave gradual tans

I really like Dove summer glow, it is a great product for a GRADUAL tan. I think that it is important that people realize it is suppose to be gradual. There are a few things I dislike about this product though. 1st of all the smell...uugghh not very pleasant at all. It has that chemically tanned smell that actually lasts quite a while. 2nd thing I dislike is the texture, its really thick so takes ages to dry. 3rd thing I dont really like is the bottle/packaging. When stored upside-down its really wobbly. But on a good note I find the actual colour to be great. I apply it every other day and its great for keeping a spray-tan moisturised and looking fresh. The price is perfect for this product, its not the bee's knees but its pretty good.

Tips: EXFOLIATE! and dont use too much as you can go orange.
