Dove Summer Glow Review

Found this at the back of the bathroom cupboard when I had a clean out before Xmas and remembered it gave my family a great laugh about 3 winters ago. I have a olive tone to my skin and the first application I thought was ok, as I had read the instructions and knew that it wouldn't show any colour straight away, thought it actually moisterised my skin quite nicely. Well the next day I looked down at my legs, thank goodness I had only done my legs and they looked slightly yellow tone to me, showed the hubby who wasn't really looking and he said it was fine so decided to apply in 2 days. Well after the 2nd application it became a yellow/orange tone and the family kept asking me if I was late for work at Charlies chocolate factory lol. I kept wearing my jeans for a little while thank goodness for good body exfoliators lol

I am not a fan of this product because I find that it irritates my skin and doesn't dry very quickly. I also do not like the smell.

I have not noticed that good of a build up of colour- my skin is very fair and I use the fair skin (or the lightest) lotion

Id heard so many people rave about this product, so a couple of weeks back I thought id try it. Amazing price! I think I paid like $8 for it, its so cheap. Because it's a lotion I just applied it with my bare hands and it was fine, didn't streak or anything.. But after an hour or two I was orange. This tan definitely smells like you've got fake tan on which sucks because who wants anyone to know they are wearing fake tan hah. Overall I wouldn't purchase this product again just because I think there are much better fake tans out there on the market

I used this product once as I received it as a present. I have fair skin and this did not work well for me at all.

First off application alone was such a hassle the drying process takes time.. ALOT of time. And the outcome was not desirable, when it did start to build up a tan I went straight from pale to an orange/yellow.

Luckily I only tried it on my legs and was easily hidden.

You definitely get a lot of product for your money with this purchase, and you also get a lot of tan for your money if the tone it delivers is what you're after, but its an acquired taste in my case.

I'm relatively pale, and cool skin tone, and this 'glow' is very much an orange glow that is quite orange from first application and like the bottle states the colour 'gradually enhances' only continues to get more orange - into Oompa Loompa zone - for me.

It's lovely to apply, but the scent for me was too strong and I continued to smell the lotion through the day to the point I felt self conscious of people coming near me. It also remained tacky until I showered the residue off. As the tan developed I had streaks that rivalled a tigers stripes, and just looked awful. I didn't feel this lotion delivered any hydrating benefits to my skin at all.

Not the product for me unfortunately.

I've tried many self tanners and gradual tanners. It's really one of those ones you have to try for yourself to see if the tone suits you. It didn't suit me due to the end colour, the smell and the length of time it took for the colour to build up. It really is a gradual tanner. But as it's not too expensive why not try it and see if it's for you.

Every time I applied this, I would get asked what that horrible smell was, so I quickly stopped using it. As well as the horrible smell it left on my skin, it gave a horribly patchy and orange look to my skin. I would not recommend this product, there are far better alternatives on the market!

Doesnt really do much for me and im as pale as can be, the positive note about it is that it doesnt make you do orange either, but it doesn't make you darker either

I purchased this after reading some of the reviews but found it wasn't for me. It didn't seem to give me any additional colour to what my natural skin tone already is. I found the perfume very unusual and did not like it. It may be my skin but I don't think I will try it again.

Sadly, make me go orange :/ Smelt weird and stuck to my under arms, inner elbow creases (and elbow) around my belly button and knees. Not a fan!
