Gradual tan

I used this gradual tanning product for a number of years. I have very fair skin and this gave me a natural looking tan without being orange.

I applied at night and really focused on applying a light even layer and rubbing it in until it fully absorbed. For a "summer glow" it will probably take around 2-3 applications.

Tips: Wash your hand immediately after application.

Dove Summer Glow Gradual 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.

Tips: Apply evenly and really concentrate on rubbing it in. Wash your hands straight after otherwise you will end up with brown between your fingers. Try to keep standing for a while after use to help it sink in - for example I use mine straight after my shower and do my skin care and hair standing up while it's soaking in. Follow those steps and you won't get streaks or patchiness :)

Thank you for the review. I have been looking for a gradual glow. I am not a tanner and usual burn. I want to maintain my summer color now that we are going into fall. I have always been a little hesitant to try these self tanners. Can't wait

Summer Glow

This product does what it says and gives a gradual glow. It does take a few days to really start seeing results but once it starts working it is very natural looking.

Tips: Perfect for first time tanners

Lovely gradual tan for paler skin

I really like this product, it's reasonably priced, and for that price is pretty good. i have relatively fair skin so i can't tan and full on spray tanning is way too intense. this give a nice gradual glow, without looking too fake. and a bonus, you can stop applying as soon as you reach the perfect depth! it works pretty quickly, within a couple of days. only issue was when i stopped using it, it went a little patchy as it faded.. all round though, love it!

Tips: WASH HANDS AFTER, and keep a careful eye on areas that tend to be slightly drier than the rest of your body - knees, elbows etc - it tends to have more affect there

Maybe better for darker skin?

I have used this a few times. I find that it's quite a dark colour, so maybe not suitable for fair skin types. The colour is nice but it can be a bit tricky to not get patches as it takes a while for the colour to 'change'. I found around my ankles and elbows particularly patchy but maybe I just did it wrong?! I would use again but here are better self tanning products out there.

Great for maintaining a spray tan

I love this stuff, it is great for maintaining your spray tan. It's also great if you are wanting to build up a really natural looking tan. It leaves your skin smooth and silky soft. The scent it really nice and doesn't smell like normal fake tanner smell.

Tips: Use to maintain your spray tan. Make sure you wash your hands straight after applying.

Ok for the price

This product is ok for the price. To get a noticeable difference you need to apply it more than on e. The main problem is that it goes on much lighter than the shade it changes to. This means that you won't notice how badly you have applied it until it has set. Easy to wash off but can be quite streaky. The colour isn't too bad more of a gold brown than an orange.

Tips: Wear gloves and apply a thin coat. Wait an hour and reapply which is a bit of a pain but the best way to get an even result

Perfect for all year round.

This is amazing, perfect for anyone and everyone. I love this because i am quite fair skinned and do not want a dramatic tan. When i use this product it builds up daily, perfect to get away with using a fake tan. No one will ever know ;)

Great light tan!

I really love this product! As someone who is a little afraid of fake tan, this is perfect for me. It is a gradual tan that I have complete control over. I tend to tan fairly easily (so long as I have time to get out in the sun) so I find this really great at the start of the summer season to boost my colour before I have had the chance to tan up.

Tips: I found the best way to use this was to apply every day until I got to my desired shade (maybe 3 or 4 days), then just used once or twice a week to keep it up. If I want it for that night I would apply in the morning and then again before going out to just take the glare off my white legs!
