Get glowing

Dove Summer Glow has been a staple in my beauty cabinet for many years. It's great when you want a touch of colour in winter or to add to your natural tan in summer. It is buildable, but I find it gets a tad streaky and sticks in dry areas when used for more than three days in a row. It has a pleasant smell when you first apply it but gets a bit of a fake tan tang, so best to use when you're staying in.

Tips: Rub it on after your shower then let it sink in before getting dressed or heading to bed. Make sure to wash your hands afterwards.

All year round tan

I love the dove gradual tan,Im very fair and like a bit of colour for them special nights out or to beat the winter blues, Its so easy to apply and your in control of the colour,love love love

Tips: I tend to exfoliate before I apply a tan and also moisturise using coconut scented cream as I do find the dover fake tan smell a little odd the more consecutive days you apply it

Dove

I actually wasn't expecting much from this but I was pretty surprised! It gave a nice light tan. And I could definitely notice a difference in colour. I wouldn't use it again only because I've found other lotions which are deeper in colour but wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. It scent is pleasant and I found the lotion easy to apply due to it's light texture. It's affordable and does the trick. I would use it up to 3x weekly and it lasted me around 3 months.

Tips: Be sure to wash you hands straight after using! Maybe even wear gloves as it tends to really stain your hands!

Light & Lovely

I really love this gradual tanner. It has a pleasant fragrance, nothing to strong & the lotion is incredibly lightweight. This is my favourite thing about the product as it is imperative to me that my false tanners dry quickly & don't leave a sticky residue on my skin.

I exfoliate in the shower with gloves & then use a tan organics tanning mitt to apply the product. It goes on smoothly & evenly and I don't have to spend a lot of time trying to rub the product into my skin.

The only downside to this product is that it can take quite a few applications to build up a decent colour which is really frustrating! Even with the darker shade I still find this to be a problem.

I really like this product, its affordable easy to use and works well nice natural looking tan without horrible streaks. Does take a while to dry which is a down side

Tips: Use for a few dys before you need it to build tan up then have a break every few days, stops fake looking colour build up

Nice natural look tan.

Easy to use, and works well. Does not leave streak lines and does not leave you with a horrible orange colour like other brands. Use this over a few days to gradually achieve the colour you want. This is nice and gentle on your skin, and does not smell too overpowering. This is by far the best moisturising self tanner ive tried. Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds and harmful UV rays and use Dove Summer Glow to achieve a natural looking tan!

Tips: Use after a shower and let it dry and sink in before getting changed or heading to bed (to avoid marks on clothing and bedding), and be sure to wash your hands straight after you apply it.

I wish I could love this

Unfortunately for people who's skin resembles a white piece of paper, this may not work so well. I found that I could use it for about 4 days, and see my skin turn a yellowy garish colour that would fade incredibly quickly in the shower.

It's smell is nice, but I find it quite sticky and heavy on the skin. I may recommend this to a friend with a darker skin tone, because I know lots of people have had success with this product & colour seems to show up much faster on more tan skin.

It's a very, very average fake tan in my opinion, but I guess it does give you some colour, but not a colour I like.

Its a pity because I love most other dove products, but I just cant seem to love this

Summer Glow? Summer NO

Makes everything tan except your knees- they just go straight to orange. Not good, but works everywhere else.

Tips: Be careful that its not streaky and check that you get your ankles too!
