Dove Summer Glow Review

This is a really affordable tanning solution, i used it all throughout summer last year. I like how you can gradually built it up to a darker tan.

I use this in the months leading up (and through if I haven't seen much sun) to summer on my white legs. I always exfoliate with my exfoliating gloves (making sure to focus on my ankles, and knees) in the shower, shave my legs, and moisturize well and I really like the colour one application leaves. Even with the care I take beforehand I do seem to get darker spots around the edges of the underside of my knee cap, but a little exfoliation once the tan has developed helps to lighten it up.

Even though it can leave darker patches where your skin is dry, with a little care this tan works perfectly for me and is the right shade.

Not to orangey, and gives a nice slow build up. Doesn't irritate after shaving which is good because I have sensitive skin. Must remeber to wash off hands though or the hands stain quite badly.

I don't like using fake tans, so this is really nice. It just gives me a gradual looking tan. Without turning my legs orange!

Fake tans usually scare me because I hate the look of being too orange or too obviously fake tanned. Dove summer glow is easy to put on evenly and it doesn't leave streaky lines. It makes my skin feel really nice as well. The smell isn't too bad, it's not as strong or long lasting as many other fake tans, and it's not too orange.

I have used this for my college ball because I had used it previously and it worked really well without making my skin look over done. Takes about 2 days of use to fully work though

I am very pale. Very very pale. My legs in particular are so white, they're reflective. So every year I go looking for something to take the glare off, and transform my vampire white skin into something a little more summery. I found Dove's product to be one of the best fake tanning products out there.

You build it over a few days so you don't end up with a streaky look, which is great for people like me who have failed multiple times with stronger tanning products (too impatient, and not enough attention to detail). You have a choice of light to darker brown to go with your existing skin tone. The moisturiser in the product is great and completely does the job.

I am not a fan of the smell - it's not a bad smell, but it is distinctive to tanning products, and I'd rather not smell it the whole day, so I would do what others have suggested here and put it on at night to give it a chance to disperse somewhat.

Great product, easy to use, very reasonable price point - really not a lot to complain about!

Have used this most summers. So easy to use as a body lotion, blends well and gives a natural tan that you can easily build by day use.

I really like this product, it gives you a nice gradual tan. The fragrance of it doesn't much appeal to me and it does take a wee while to dry, but colour does not come off on the sheets and works fast. I would buy this again.

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
