Dove Summer Glow Review

Love this product, it builds a natural looking tan and you can keep applying the product across a time period to build the tan up depending how dark you want it. I have never had an issue with going orange and love using this in the winter when I cant get in the sun as much! Make sure to exfoliate on elbows, knees, ankles (anywhere you have joints) before applying the product.

I love this product, its the first "fake tan" i have ever used and i love it.. i have extremely sensitive skin and im covered in eczema, hence why i was very reluctant to try this. however i went on holiday to aussie and (i am very pale) wanted to go back with a tan.. i looked at many different types but for the price of Dove i couldnt say no. so i used it for a week and feel in love, i was scared id turn orange but i didnt :) when i got back from my holiday everyone was commenting how wonderful my tan was, i now use it for if a have a special event coming up or just to get ride of my paleness, i wouldnt like twice about buying again! also it lasts for a long time as you dont need to use at lot of it :)

Let me start by saying I am very pale like a ghost. I do not sit out in the sun as I burn, go red as a lobster then peel. I had never used a gradual tanner before but after blinding my workmates after wearing shorts to work I decided to give this a go.

It comes in a 400ml plastic bottle which looks like a standard dove moisturiser. I got the one for fair to medium skin. It is easy to squeeze out and is quite thick in consistency. I don't mind the smell it is quite fresh and doesn't smell like fake tan to me. I just simply apply like I would my moisturiser. Making sure to rub it in well especially around my knees and ankles.

It feels a bit sticky afterwards and it does take a bit of time to dry. It's not an issue for me as I only use it at night so I apply it then sit back and relax. But keep that in mind if you intend to use it before you head out. It only takes me 3 uses to get a lovely looking glow on that looks nice and natural.

I really like the results and it does not go streaky at all. I will definitely continue to use it over summer. A great priced gradual tanner and a good sized bottle. Totally recommend for us pale ladies.

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!

I am extremley pale. If i use this every couple days on my legs it keeps them the perfect shade to match with my arms and make me look naturally tan! I don't know what I'd do without fake tan it is my life!

This product is great for a gradual natural looking tan. I am extremely pale and hate going to the beach in summer without fake tan, I love this product because it builds without streaking and doesn't smell horrible like most fake tans.

I used to love this 3-4 years ago so i know how to use it. I exfoliated, shaved and moisturised my dry patches to ensure it would go on evenly. I was super disappointed to realise the next day my ankles and feet had orange patches. I am wondering if the ingredients or recipe changed! But would not recommend to anyone anymore sadly

Sick of looking at my white legs so I wanted something light and natural to give just a slight tan. Nothing too obvious or high maintenance. This did the trick in that regard. Pros- light tan, looks natural, no streaks, can apply with hands risk free, big bottle for cheap price. Cons - never truly dries, I stuck to the leather couch, I smell like developing tan all day. There are much better gradual tans out there. This one does the trick by looking great but the smell and greasyness is not ideal.
