Nice gradual tanner

This is very moisturising and gives you a nice glowy gradual tan. Completely streak free too. It does have a strong smell like some kind of scent trying to disguise the smell of self tanner. But if you can get past that, then it's a great little product.

Handy product

This product gives a really nice natural build up of color. It didn't streak, but it can leave your palms a little stained. It smells ok , not to much like fake tan and its really moisturising as well. Its perfect for all year round use as well so you can stay a nice color in winter,

Dove Summer Glow

I hate hate hate the smell of this. If only it smelt good or had no smell at all that would be good. The smell seems to linger and stick and the next day you can still distinctly smell it. I find that after applying it, not immediately but the next day I seem to have patches which are off coloured compared to the rest of my skin, maybe I am not applying it properly and that I need to apply it more evenly. I like that it is a gradual tanner and that it slowly builds up your tan- it is good if you are not in a rush for a tan and it can be used over a long period in time until you get the perfect tan that you are looking for. It is good for it's price but I don't not think that I will buy it again as I am not a big fan and I can sometimes get very impatient.

Tips: If you are looking for a quick tan, this isn't for you!

Tanning lotion

I brought this lotion a couple of years ago, when I was at high school and also every now and then. When I first heard of this tanning lotion I was in love. Okay it did gradually tan but the lotion smelt weird. It didn't have a any yummy dove scent. The dove tan lotion gives you a great gradual glow or tan. This may be good for after you tan with a mousse or spray.

Dove Summer Glow

Thus Summer is a bit of a washout so far. This was an impulse purchase from Chemist Warehouse, but it is available from lots of places. A very light brownish colour, this lotion promises to gradually build colour on wherever it is applied. A little goes a long way, and does take a little longer than I am used to, to absorb. Colour build up is nice.

Tips: Make sure you apply a good spf still

Fairly good

As far as gradual tanners go, this one is okay! It doesn't smell terrible but you can still notice a hint of that fake tan smell (one day someone will develop one that smells 100% delicious, I hope!) The tan builds up naturally and the colour doesn't look too fake, although it can be hard to get the application smooth and even.

Tips: Apply regular moisturiser to dry and tricky patches like knees and ankles before rubbing this stuff in. And wash your hands IMMEDIATELY afterwards!

No excuse for lily white legs

The minute I change from leggings to cropped under the knee capri leggings I get out the dove summer glow. Used for 2 days in a row, it is a good semi tanned colour. Then I use it twice weekly to keep it up. A fabulous moisturizer as well which gives your skin a sheen.

Tips: I use Vaseline Cocoa butter around the feet and ankles to dilute the Dove a bit as it is harder to keep the colour even on thicker skin.

Not my fav gradual tanner

This was the first gradual tanner I ever tried. I found it looked alright, the colour was fine, but my sensitive skin didn't like the formula and played up so I moved on and found other brands that had a better formula for me and gave more colour. I prefer the Palmers Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze for the best gradual tan.

Tips: Maybe be careful if you have sensitive skin.

Glowing skin

I loved this lotion from the first use, I love the light fruity fragrance and the light consistency of this lotion and not only does it moisturise it slowly gives me a nice golden glow. It's not sticky and drys really quickly and doesn't stain my clothes, so with a little effort in exfoliating the whole body and making sure my skin is slightly damp, that's so I apply it evenly as my skin is dry and parts off me would go darker like my knees or around my ankles. This takes a few weeks to get a golden glow and for me that's using it every day but once my skin is at a nice shade I use it every second or third day and exfoliate and moisturise. It's a great product especially if you just want a hint of colour. I'm left with a nice natural look so reasonable on my wallet and much better for my skin beats baking it.

Tips: Make sure your skin is moisturised and rub in it well all over.
