Tanning lotion

Good product to use before bed for a nice glowing look the next day. Good product to use once or as a builder product (tan gets darker/stronger the more you use it) smell is almost a light vanilla/sheer butter smell not to strong.

Tips: Make sure to wash your hand after use

Good tanning lotion

I’ve used this product to and like what it does. It doesn’t have a strong smell and easy to rub on. Does what it says it will do

No Fuss Tan

Being very pale skinned I decided to take the leap and use the Medium to Dark shade & glad I did.

I only apply to my arms & legs as thats all that's exposed. Bottle says not to apply on face, not sure why as other tanning products you can. Smell is tolerable & does dissappear after an hour or so. I'm not bothered if not able to use on face as I love my St Tropez Self Tan Purity Vitamins for face, neck & declotage!.

Dove recently reformulated this by doing away with the Parabens. What a mission trying to get one without, ended up contacting manufacturers who kindly gave me a voucher. Off I went on the hunt managed to find a Paraben free one. Alot of retailers were running their stocks down before putting out new formulation.

Exfoliation & moisturising parts where tan sticks to is key for an even finish. Used a tanning mit to apply as this is by far best way and used a makeup brush to blend it along fingers toes, wrists, elbows & edge of feet

Not keen that some of product stays at bottom of bottle as it is a thick consistency. I leave mine stored upside down. The bottle is quite awkward would prefer a pump.

Prefer to have a colour guide as you need to blend blend blend.

My favorite is St Tropez Express tan mousse but just use Dove as a quick no fuss option as hate sitting around waiting for St Tropez to dry. I like the colour Dove gives although could be darker as not as dark as St Tropez - Dove looks natural. I apply in morn after showering. I did read reviews not too apply too much product, as I was & found it took a while to dry. This morning I applied less.

I have noticed my arms have a way better finish than my legs which tend to look a bit patchy so maybe it's an application prob on my part.

Overall it lasts a few days. I tend to let my tan completely wear off then start again but today decided to top up after a few days so wait to see result tomorrow.

Price point is ok.

Tips: Exfoliate & moisturise dry bits. Apply with a mit & use makeup brush to blend around wrists, fingers toes & edge of feet

Cheaper option for natural tan

I used to use this all the time, and occasionally do if too lazy to tan, colour really comes out on my skin but the tone is a little too orange for my liking!

My Favorite Tanning product

This was my first product I brought when wanting to look tan and glowy. I personally love it and still buy it often as it is easy to apply and is very moutsersing. If you are new to using tanning products then I would suggest this one as it doesn't require a tanning glove, is not to dark and you can build up the color over a couple of days so you don't have to worry about being unnaturally orange or overly darker than your skin tone

Tips: I would suggest applying after showring and if your planning of applying try to moisturize the day before (Not day of).

Easy to use

Super easy to put on in the morning if you are a little pale and need a nice glow. If my fake tan is on its last legs I like to use this as a top up as it moisturises too

Tips: Make sure to wash your hands afterwards and don’t apply too much as it could become uneven

Great

I have been using this product off and on for years. I used to think it took forever to dry and felt quite wet for a long time too as I’ve read in previous reviews but it turns out the trick is, is to apply only a small amount. That way it dries a-lot faster and has the same result. I leave mine over night wearing long pjs and then wash off in the morning so I don’t leave the house with the fake tan smell it has.

Too much = oompahloompah diddleleedoo

Without a doubt Dove Summer Glow Medium to Dark tint works. I used it daily for a week and started to look like I had a lovely post Island holiday golden tan with just a small bit a patchiness on my knees. Another week later, using it every second day, I looked like I was the illegitimate daughter of an oompahloompah. Now I'm waiting for it to fade back to an island-time tan and will only use it a couple of times a week. It does have a strong fake tan smell too that my Flowerbomb could not hide.

Tips: Use for a week then just 2-3 times a week after that. Use strong perfume to try to mask the smell.

Absolutely love!

My second favourite tanning loation gives me that extra kick between tans. Be careful to not leave product on knees elbows or hands because can cause buildup of colour

Uh oh orange hands

So, this definitely works but in my opinion is a bit difficult to get right. The moisturizing aspect of it is great but the smell is very fake tan-ish. I ended up with very orange hands no matter how much I washed them so definitely would recommend wearing gloves. You can get a lovely colour, just be careful with blotchiness etc

Tips: Wear gloves!
