Dove Summer Glow Review

I used this weekend after a friend raving about it. I wasnt as in love with it as her. I disliked the smell it smells like that really strong fake tan smell you get. It looked ok on my arms as they are abit more tanned naturally but looked awful and orangey and patchy on my legs. I will be trying something else next time. Not sure which one as there are so many on the market now. Guess its just trial and error and what suits one person doesnt suit another, as i see many people on here do like it this one.

No good for sensititve skin - Thought this product was going well, was starting to get a slight bronze colour happening, but then broke out in a rash that took over a week to go away. Was not expecting that, as I am usually find with Dove moisturisers. The smell was quite strong also.

I have extremely fair skin that never tans in natural light, I bought this one day after hearing good things from friends, sadly it did not give me a natural sun kissed glow. I used this product lightly on my legs for a few days, it turned out streaky/patchy and make me orange. To say the least I do not recommend this product for people with fair tones and I definitely would not buy or use it again.

Other than being a tad dry and very pale, i have pretty normal skin, not overly sensitive or anything like that. Having tried the Johnsons gradual self tan and loving that i tried this out as well to get a good comparison and my experience was terrible. I put one coat on my legs, washed my hands and left them to dry. The next day my feet and between my fingers were incredibly itchy and within a week i had full blown Hives covering my entire body. Will never, EVER touch the stuff again.

Fake tan and me have a love-hate relationship, and unfortunately my experience with this product leans more towards 'hate' than 'love'. The bottle boasts that it will give your skin a 'natural' looking tan gradually, what it did in fact do was turn me yellow; which to be fair is a natural look, but not a healthy or appealing one.I guess I could be 'too pale' for fake tan, but the bottle swatches showing 'before and after' weren't too much darker than me.

The second thing that disappointed me about this self-tan was the sheer greasiness of it and how it seemed to sit on top of the skin rather than sinking in like it promised to do. I waited about an hour for it to 'fully absorb'- hoping that the greasiness would disappear, but nope.

Overall I would not recommend this product to people with very fair skin, but perhaps people with different skin tones might have more luck than I did.

I did everything right yet I kept going orange. I gave it multiple chances but sadly it is just not for me. I guess I will just have to find other ways to go from white to tan! It did moisturise though?

This was the first tanning product I used, years ago. My nana used to use it lol Its really cheap but you get what you pay for. Its very orange and stinks! There are so much better tanning products out there, don't waste your money.

The texture once on the skin becomes sticky. The cream is smelly, highly perfumed and has a chemical smell. It takes a really long time to dry/absorb on the skin. When it does dry, I found patches and streaky lines all over my legs. I felt like a giraffe - patchy, orange, brown, just a total mess. I kept my legs covered for about a week until it faded away. Never again will I use this product.

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.

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.
