Kinda works?

Doesn’t give me as much of a tan as I would like, but it is a good moisturiser and has a nice scent.

Tips: If you want it to work you really have to use it daily.

Hydrated and illuminated

I found this product to be good in terms of providing my skin with nourishing moisture and a very slight tint. However, if you are expecting a moisturizer that gives your skin an instant glow, then it is perhaps a good idea to look towards more of an instant bronzer. I used this product to nourish my skin after using an instant tanning product to maintain the appearance of the tan and it worked really well. I highly doubt that with it's very subtle hint of colour it would be sufficient for providing a bronzed look on pale or fair skin, but think it's great for those who have already achieved the bronzed look and want to maintain and nourish their tanned skin. I always like Dove moisturizing products and find that the thick formula is excellent for creating soft and supple skin - this product definitely did that whilst illuminating (rather than building) my tan.

Good to average

I have reasonably white legs and i found if i wasn't careful i could turn quite orange. However it goes on quite well and smells good! I still use it every now and then and it is fairly good!

Tips: Use this every 3 or 4 days, not every day

Tan in a Can

The old classic 'fake tan' season is upon us once again. This product definitely smells better than its predecessors, but there's definitely still work to be done. It goes on your skin smoothly and dries quite quickly, which is helpful if you're in a hurry. The colour doesn't come up immediately, which can cause trouble for you because if you put too much on you'll turn a shade of orange! I use this on those 'in between days' so I fake tan on the weekend and use this during the week to keep my colour looking dark. For the price, it's not a bad product, but there are definitely better out there.

Does a good job for a good price

This is one of the best gradual tanners in terms of smell and colour - gives a nice natural looking golden colour without turning orange or smelling like a fake tanner (as is my experience with other gradual tanning lotions). One point lost though due to this product making me all itchy unless I keep it to the leg's area only - not suprising though as usually I don't react well to Dove products. As I am very pale one application of this in the fair shade at bed-time has the same effect as a normal self tanner lotion on me so it is definitely potent stuff!

Tips: If the smell of these types of products annoys you try using right before bed then shower in the morning.

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!

Average

This is great for pale people who want that extra glow to their skin, however it's not for me. I prefer tanning products that work instantly. That way it's easy to make sure that your tan is streak free.. with this it isn't. This also smells incredibly gross. I wouldn't repurchase this but I would recommend for people just wanting a subtle glow and don't mind that it's not instant.

Tips: Add layers to make the tan more obvious. Make sure you apply in even strokes so you do not leave your tan streaky.

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 found for me this product didn't help me tan due to the fact I am quite pale. But it is a moisturiser/lotion also so wasn't a compleye waste of money
