Easy to apply

Dove summer glow is easy to apply as you are only putting on a little amount of tanning ingredient at a time. Experiment with this moisturiser so you can see how it works on you. I am a fan of Sugar Baby and this product is the same awesome colour!

Tips: Start applying daily 3-4 days before you need to look brown. Give the product time to develop. Wait 1-2 days before putting on another layer as the colour develops differently on different skins. Apply about the same amount of product to the same area of skin so you know what coverage you are getting. Start with the medium colour and once this has developed swap to the darker colour. Apply every day till you are as dark as you want to be. Rub off any harsh lines gently with a pumice stone. You won’t remove application mistakes but any streaking will be less noticeable with exfoliation.

My everyday go-to

I can't go without this moisturizer, I use it everyday as a face cream as it keeps my face from not being super pale because I wear foundation almost everyday. Also my skin breaks out from pretty much every other moisturizer that I've tried so it's my only choice lol. I use the medium to dark shade and it works great for my naturally light skin tone by giving me a nice light golden glow within a couple of hours and fully soaks in by then leaving me with nice smooth skin.It's also great to use to pro long or enhance your natural tan or fake tan. I would recommend to anyone as it it affordable and easy to find at your local supermarket

Dove summer glow

Dove summer glow is absolutely amazing! I have extremely sensitive and dry skin and this worked wonders on making my skin feel soft and moisturized again all while giving me a nice golden color with no streaks

Overnight Tan

Love this product ! I apply it after my shower at night . One coat to my whole body . Wake up in the morning and I’m brown . Don’t seem to get this result from any other cream tanning products . Great for moisture aswell . Need to apply with caution ........ can still get lines around ankle and knee area if not careful and must wash hands after application . Really like this product for an everyday topup of my tan during the summer and winter - not dark enough if I was going out to a formal event .

Tips: Apply with gloves . Exfoliate before use .

Glowing review

I am absolutely crushing on this. I have had the same bottle for two summers now. Its proved to be effective and long lasting.

I am the Casper of the family and I don’t usually mind my pale skin but I do like a little tan on the legs. So I apply this after my shower at night.

The bottle is huge! It’s a nice creamy solution with a pleasant scent.. being honest there is also the most faint tan scent that can be detected but it’s short lived.

Light colour cream that’s quickly absorbed so I’ve never seen it mark my clothes or bedding.

I love that it lightly builds my tan as I am definitely not an all over tanner so don’t want to look too mismatched I don’t spread tan and don’t really have a lot of skin prep time so this is perfect it moisturises and builds a tan. Perfect for my lead up to Christmas.

My go to summer tan

I love this product, its my must have for a gradual tan. Great size bottles and easy to find in most supermarkets. The consistency of the product is quite nice and thick and sometimes can be a bit harder to get out of the bottle but it goes on your skin nice and even and it has a bit of a scent but its not too overpowering. When i first started using it i put it on before bed and then had a nice colour in the morning but could remove the smell in the shower it didn't take to long to get used to it and i now quite like it. I find it really good to use everyday to build up a bit of colour and then every second to third day just to maintain. Its a good moisturiser and doesn't leave you orange its a nice natural subtle colour. Worth a try especially for the price.

Tips: Wash your hands after applying otherwise you'll end up with stains in between your fingers.

This is Life!

i actually despise fake tan. The routine itself is exhausting and in my experience no amount of exfoliating or after care pays off- long story short if it doesn’t look terrible it still looks ‘fake’.

This is why I gravitate more towards gradual tanners and usually use them in summer just to top up my natural tan. Other brands of gradual tanners seem to appear orange-ish when I’d use them on my very fair skin in winter.

I hadn’t tried the dove one before but it’s now a regular in my routine. I had no issues even on my super fair winter skin at the beginning of summer (I’ve only tried the medium-dark shade) I apply it at night and am easily 1 - 2 shades darker by morning. If I want to be super tan, I’ll just use it several days in a row but I can easily stay a nice shade just by using it every second or even third night.

The downside? I haaaate the scent. So so much. It’s actually nice to start with but after a while you’ll notice that very strong typical fake tan smell. I am quite sensitive to strong scents and have had to rinse it off a couple times coz I just couldn’t stand it while trying to sleep. I’ll die and go to heaven the day they bring out a scent-free version of this!

Perfect Slow Tanner

This is my go to moisturiser for a healthy natural tanned look while adding moisture to dry skin. If you want to look darker just keep using it daily until you are happy with your colour. It brightens any faded tan, great in spring when you haven’t seen the sun. Doesn’t streak, a subtle couple of shades darker. I always get good comments when I use summer glow.

Tips: Wash your hands straight after use so they don’t get stained.

Love this stuff

I have a light skin tone but I use the medium to dark as I like the tone on me and can be built more. If I know I have something on where I'm wearing a dress I will put this on a couple of times the day before and once on the day and and it gives me a lovely natural tan with Added moisturisation. It does have a smell as expected but not as overpowering as most tanning products

Tips: Ensure you wash your hands and ideally exfoliate prior to using

Lovely natural, gradual tan

I really love this moisturiser! It goes on well and absorbs into the skin pretty quickly depending on how dry my skin is. It's not an obvious tan immediately, I will start to notice it after a few days in a row and then to maintain it after that I'll use it a few times a week. Because its a moisturiser I sometimes forget to be diligent with making sure its on evenly and notice some extra tan around the ankles or wrists but in general it doesn't streak or look uneven. The smell is nice, it's a bit fake tanny but not to the point that I would stop using it. Great product for the price too. I'm blonde and fair but do tan really well over summer so this is perfect for getting me through the paler months of the year!

Tips: Still wash your hands after applying it! They won't stain as bad as with fake tan but it has the potential to stain in places like between fingers and on the wrist.
