I first used this when I wanted to know if fake tan was for me. It's really easy to use and not TOO much hassle, though regular fake tan takes way less time than this and there is a lot more range of colour, this one can get quite orangey. I really love the smell, it's the typical Dove smell.

Tips: Don't use too much at once, and rub in circular motions or it will be streaky. Don't forget your ankles!!

shea butter tanning lotion
I have uneven skin tone all the time. I'm always well tanned on my legs and arms but never my whole body. Pretty much my first time using this in lotion form.
Comes in a decent sized bottle; had my bottle for a few weeks. Feels more like a runny lotion with intense scent of shea butter. Dries down in a few minutes. No streaks which is a plus. No spills onto clothing either. That is my pet hate about tanners is the mess it leaves on clothing.
Overall middle of the road product nothing great here but gives you hydration. I wouldn't call it a summer glow as such through. Might need to reword the name I think. Like summer hydration tanning tint or something like that.

Great gradual build-up of colour
During the summer months I like my white (English-rose) legs to have a hint of colour when peeking out from my capri pants. I replace my usual body lotion with this product and add to it each day to get an impressive light tan over 5-7 days. At this point I find you need to exfoliate and start again, The colour is lovely on my skin and matches my naturally tanned arms.
Tips: Whilst building up your colour over several days, be sure to only pat dry your legs (rather than rub) so that you don't end up with streaks when you next apply the lotion.

Bad
Argh that smell first off.No big no. Then that colour.Another no. It's very bad, considering all the competition out there I'm not sure how this even still exists.

Surprised at how good this worked
I didn’t really expect this to be this good. Was just looking for a moisturiser, and saw this. Was really affordable, and I decided to give it a try. Only saw results after a week of using this every day. I now have a super soft skin with a healthy glow. Value for money.
Tips: Exfoliate before using this product. I would avoid using this on face, as it might irritate sensitive skin.

Good for everyday
I actually really like this I have the dark one and I use it mainly on my arms and legs to keep a shiny glow subtle tan look. Smells nice and good price for the amount you get and for a supermarket product.

Average
Very patchy tan! Smells nice to begin with but after it’s developed it absolutely stinks. It clings to any dry patches of skin! And it takes a few goes/ days to actually develop a nice coloured tan
Tips: Wash hands after each use !!

The best Gradual tanner for a great price
I love gradual tanners. I find they nice you a much m ore natural tan and fades nicely rather than a fake tan that needs to be scrubbed off. I have tried a few brands but I always come back to the Dove. Beautiful colour and does not leave a horrible tanner smell after. I would highly recommend including this in your daily regime as your daily body moisturizer for that all round glow.
(I prefer the Dark over the Medium)
Tips: Make sure to wash your hands after application

This was the first gradual tan I ever used, smells like apricots and goes on really smoothly. The only downside is the colour can be a little orange as it builds up, otherwise it would be perfect. Probably best for girls who don't tan obsessively and want a light glow.
