Dove Summer Glow Review

I can't say I fake tan on a regular basis but when I am feeling a bit pale or want a nice even glow this is the product I go for. I do need to make sure I rub it in very well as it can be easy to miss a few spots but when I am though this product gives me an even glow.

So I'm already tan and do not need his but I love using it to make my skin look even in colour and gives me sun kissed bronzed legs that I love!!!! However I do feel like it doesn't work that well for my lighter friends but for myself sure does!!!

This is fantastic if your wanting to build up for summer so your not going from one extreme to the other. I would us it a while to build up before applying fake tan so I didn't go from white to tan over night. Don't forget to wash your hands after use.

It works well but honestly it makes you smell like a damn tanning factory. It's pretty strong smelling which is unfortunate. Use it before bed so its not so strong smelling the next day!!

I have been using this a lot this Summer and have been loving it. I wouldn't say this replaces a fake tan, but it gives me similar results with gradual use. I have been using the medium to dark shade and love the glow it gives. It's affordable and has lasted me a long time, you don't need a lot to use a lot to get results. It's moisturising enough and I will continue to use and probably repurchase when I run out. It does have a slight scent, that distinct scent of fake tan. It doesn't bother me, but would not recommend if you were sensitive to the fake tan smell!

Unfortunately, this was not a hit for me, and I wouldn't repurchase. I found the scent a bit too much, my partner could smell it, my workmates could smell it. I also found that it was a bit itchy, as I find many self-tanning products. I thought I might be safe this is a gradual product. I also did not find that it was that moisturising. I've had a bottle sitting around my bathroom for a while, and I just don't think I'll get through it.

I can't believe I forgot about gradual fake tans for so long! I used to use them pre-summer to boost the glow and to even out my skin abut for some reason stopped until I saw Dove Summer Glow on special at New World recently. I had a few issues with reacting to spray tans before my wedding so I was a little worried about trying it but thought a little bit at first to test would be ok and the price (on special for $6.49 for the large bottle) was worth the risk! I used the medium to dark skin as I am naturally olive skin toned and used it straight after my shower. It went on so nicely and dried quickly. Unlike other self-tanning products I've used it isn't coloured when you apply so I worried about it being even but as it is gradual, after a couple of days the colour had built up nicely and was very even. I did overdo my knees a little on the third application (and third day) but I used exfoliating gloves and the problem was solved! It smells better than fake tan too!

I was a little skeptical about this product at first but wow this is such a great product. I couldn't believe how fast it worked and what a great coverage it gave. Easy to use and leaves your skin glowing

Not a fan of the dove range, they dont really have a distinctive feel. This particular product is great for my skin though giving it a great glow and leaving my body feeling smooth and looking great :)
