Dove Summer Glow Review

I purchased this at the end of winter to use on my legs as I seem to tan on the top easily bit not my legs. I liked the price at $7 for 400 ml and the fact it is a moisturiser as well. I have used numerous tanning creams in the past which grab your skin and turn orange so prefer to use a slower tanner that is easier to control the colour. This is easy to apply and scent is ok but as with all tanners does have a slight scent which I don't like -not noticible immediately but slightly there all the same . I have yet to apply a false tan that does not have this particular scent and if you use false tans you will know what I mean. With Dove it is not strong however so easy to overcome. I only use false tan on my legs so easy to apply daily and I found after about 3 days I could see a very light tan starting . I like the slow approach as it is less noticable and looks like the sun is just doing it's job plus there is no sudden strong colour with possible orange overtones. I have found using this tanner my skin is not dry and a quick rub in each day keeps my legs looking just slightly tan which is a really natural look. Easy to use and a nice moisturiser as well

Love this product ! I apply it after my shower at night . One coat to my whole body . Wake up in the morning and I’m brown . Don’t seem to get this result from any other cream tanning products . Great for moisture aswell . Need to apply with caution ........ can still get lines around ankle and knee area if not careful and must wash hands after application . Really like this product for an everyday topup of my tan during the summer and winter - not dark enough if I was going out to a formal event .

This was the first tanning product I used, years ago. My nana used to use it lol Its really cheap but you get what you pay for. Its very orange and stinks! There are so much better tanning products out there, don't waste your money.

Many years ago in my early teen years, I used this religiously before discovering the more instant fake tan products.

I found this to be fairly easy to use, although a little hard to apply. It is also sticky for quite a few hours after putting it on. There is no colour when you rub the cream on, so it's hard to see if you've missed a spot. Sometimes I'd wake up the morning after applying it and find that I'd missed somewhere, or some parts were a bit streaky. If you get the application right then it does look really natural.

The smell is very obviously a 'fake tan' smell.

I was in a hurry and wanted something quick and easy. I smoothed this over my legs like you normally would with moisturiser and it goes on nicely but once this product dries, it's got quite a smell to it. I don't think it would be a good product to put on just before going to work at the office but it isn't much of a stinker if you're outside doing stuff. I am fortunate to have medium to dark brown skin so the tanning part does work nicely for me but the smell does get to me.

I think this product is quite average and probably wouldn’t buy it again as there are much better tanning products available. I didn’t like the smell and it had a very orange tone. I also found that it was quite streaky the next day. It felt sticky and a bit yucky on my skin too.

I am absolutely crushing on this. I have had the same bottle for two summers now. Its proved to be effective and long lasting.

I am the Casper of the family and I don’t usually mind my pale skin but I do like a little tan on the legs. So I apply this after my shower at night.

The bottle is huge! It’s a nice creamy solution with a pleasant scent.. being honest there is also the most faint tan scent that can be detected but it’s short lived.

Light colour cream that’s quickly absorbed so I’ve never seen it mark my clothes or bedding.

I love that it lightly builds my tan as I am definitely not an all over tanner so don’t want to look too mismatched I don’t spread tan and don’t really have a lot of skin prep time so this is perfect it moisturises and builds a tan. Perfect for my lead up to Christmas.
