Dove Summer Glow Review

Sometimes using a fake tan can be awkward, time consuming and annoying, as an alternative option you can use a moisturiser with a light colour in it such as Dove summer glow. This moisturiser is great for daily use and building up a gradual tan for a sun kissed look.

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.

After having tried numerous fake tanners and not getting good results - they were either too orange, too streaky or smelled gross - I decided to try something different and picked up this product.

I love the fact that you can gradually build it up while nourishing your skin and that it looks a lot more natural than the really fake ones out there. This is a relatively cheap, easy to find product that I think a lot of people would enjoy purchasing and giving a go.

I use this product every year. A friend of my cousins reccomended it too me at the beach one year and she looks great. It's the only product she has ever used. I gave it a go and love it. You apply it just like a moisturiser. Generally I apply the next day after I have exfoliated and shaved. I use light to medium as my skin is very fair. Gradually it builds a natural looking tan.

I read the reviews on here and thought it wouldn't hurt to try a gradual tan as opposed to an all-out fake tan.

The first few days were really good, gradually made my skin a little less lily-white and a little more caramel brown however after those few days I had what appeared to be dry scabby patches on my legs.

So I've stopped using it and they've now disappeared. Coincidence, not sure. But I'll be exfoliating like there's no tomorrow before I put this on again just to see what the difference is.

So it's not bad, but for me it's not great. I think I'd rather stick with my Sugar Baby fake tan mousse in the long-term.

Congrats Dove for creating a fantastic fake tan lotion, that keeps skin soft, well moisturised, no strong smell (like other fake tans), and because its a gradual tanning lotion, its very natural looking!

I have used this since it first came out and am a complete fan!

I like this product, was great to be able to build up the colour over several days. I still use it and it didnt come out orange so thats a bonus!

I have used this product off and on for years. It is great for building up subtle colour and didn't look orange on me. I still find that you get a hint of that 'fake tan smell' if you know what I mean which is slightly off putting to me.

I love this product as it's not really a tanning product to me, it's just a tinted moisturiser. It really is a subtle tanning lotion. I use it all the time in winter as my legs get very pasty white and this product helps give it a bit more colour without looking fake. It's easy to apply (I just slather it on), it doesn't streak on me and I haven't noticed it coming off on my clothing etc. There seem to be mixed reviews for this product so maybe just get a small bottle - if it doesn't work at least you won't have spent a fortune on it!

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.
