It's a goody

I've used many a fake tan and have got to say I find this to be the least annoying! It goes on evenly and develops into a natural sun kissed look and gradually builds. Although, as with most fake tans it is good to have a bit of natural colour to enhance.

Tips: Used once or twice a week is enough to maintain a natural glow.

Summer staple

If you don't want to do a full on tanning application then this is a great everyday product, not strong smelling, easy to apply and doesn't stain hands. Use post shower and exfoliations and it's pretty even streak free. It's not going to give you full on tanning coverage but a little colour and smooth summoner sun kissed look.

Tips: Use a shade darker for a more tan-like look.

Pretty great results

This is my favourite self tanning moisturiser. It smells good (compared to other tanners) and it is nice and creamy. You see results within hours and I rarely get streaks.

Tips: Exfoliate your elbows, knees and and other dry skin, then apply some regular moisturiser. Once this has soaked in apply the Summer Glow - this way you won't get that orange patchiness many experience.

My new fave!

I bought this at the supermarket thinking it was just a normal moisturizer as I was in a rush. When I read it was a light tanner, I was a bit hesitant to put it on my skin as I am VERY pale and thought it may make my legs look out of place. It takes a while for the tanner to start working and be noticeable, but I was pleasantly surprised when I started to see a nice 'summer glow' as they call it, which is great during the Winter months where I get no sun at all. I don't know how to describe the smell of the lotion, but it sticks for ages, not that I'm complaining, it's lovely :) It leaves my skin amazingly soft and smooth for hours afterwards, I generally only apply after showers though. The consistency was what you would expect from a normal moisturizing lotion, and has a slight skin toned colour from the tanning part. A little goes a long way as well, I can see this product lasting me a lot longer than any other moisturizer I've used in the past.

Tips: Wash your hands after you use this product, even though the tanning agent is slight, you don't wanna risk getting it on white clothing. Wait until it has completely dried before putting anything on top (clothes, blankets etc.) especially if you use the product often and plan on building up an even coverage.

Love Dove Summer Glow :)

I have used this product for a few years, love it and will continue to use it. All year round suitable, works well and is a nice colour (I use the darker one) - takes off the "glow" of whiteness that a lot of us have lol

Tips: Of course as with any fake tan product wash your hands after!

Brown all year around

Such a nice and easy product on the skin and yup definitely no streaks. After I do a spray tan as well I use this product as a top coat.

Summer Glow Makes Me Feel Fine!

It's that time of year - we're getting the *very* odd warmer day, where jeans are every now and then being shunned for shorts (and a long top, because it's still winter and I'm not crazy!)- oh and I have to get my pins out for a conference in a weeks time (I'm not showing off my legs, just wearing cocktail dresses for two nights). Out comes the trusty Dove Summer Glow!

I love the way that this is perfect for an un-co like me. I've tried using proper tan products but it ends up streaky and patchy and freaky looking! With Dove Summer Glow I can shave, exfoliate and moisturise and after a few applications I've got the colour I want - which is a subtle light brown, with no streaks!

The smell isn't my favourite, but it's still a lot better than a previous product I'd used, my only real moan is that I hate having to wait for it to sink in before I get dressed - but for perfectly tanned pins, I guess them's the breaks kids ;)

If you're a novice to tanning this is worth a shot.

Dove self tan

This is a lovely moisturiser with the added bonus of giving a nice natural looking tan. Gradual build up of a natural tan if using daily, no streaks or orange glow, and at an affordable price. Comes in 2 sizes, and the smaller one is ideal for taking on holiday so you can keep up the daily application. I use immediately after bathing, and generally dont wait for it to dry completely before dressing. It never affects the tan, or my clothing. A good product for a natural sun kissed look.

Tips: Exfoliate and shave before using, make sure you go easy on knees or wipe them slightly after applying. And definately wash your hands after applying to avoid the tanned palm look!

Great gradual tanning lotion

This gives you a nice gradual tan, and it doesn't turn you orange. Even with just one application I noticed a difference in my colour. Like all fake tans it has that slight distinctive smell, but of all those that I have used, it is relatively mild. It is a bit of a pain having to wait 5 or so minutes before putting clothes on, but it is worth it.

Tips: Make sure you wash your hands really well after you have put it on. Learnt from experience...very embarrassing!! I have found it to be the most effective when putting in on after a hot shower as it seems to soak into the skin better, but that's just me.
