Dove Summer Glow Review

I have been using this for a long time and haven't found anything better to deliver a natural, even and gradual tan. It applies easily and sinks in pretty quickly especially if you're out in the sun. As long as you are careful to apply it slowly and evenly with small amounts at a time you should get the desired results. Be careful to purchase the right colour for your skin because i notice when i'm lighter in the winter and apply my medium-dark summer glow it doesn't look as natural as when i use it as a top up in summer. The smell is quite delightful for a fake tan, I would describe it as almost apricot. Also, this might just be a coincidence but when I travelled to Fiji I used this moisturiser every day and I was the only person that didn't get insect bites .Magic insect repellent? Maybe!

This lotion was nice and hydrating, the gradual tan was also quite subtle and nice, but I cannot get past the awful smell!! It's fine when you apply, but the next day it's like this weird B.O smell. I've tried a couple of different tanning moisturisers and they do seem to smell this way. I don't get that with my sugar baby, so I'll stick with that. I'd rather have a separate moisturiser which I don't need to rinse off my hands.

I really like Dove summer glow, it is a great product for a GRADUAL tan. I think that it is important that people realize it is suppose to be gradual. There are a few things I dislike about this product though. 1st of all the smell...uugghh not very pleasant at all. It has that chemically tanned smell that actually lasts quite a while. 2nd thing I dislike is the texture, its really thick so takes ages to dry. 3rd thing I dont really like is the bottle/packaging. When stored upside-down its really wobbly. But on a good note I find the actual colour to be great. I apply it every other day and its great for keeping a spray-tan moisturised and looking fresh. The price is perfect for this product, its not the bee's knees but its pretty good.

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.

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.

I brought this lotion a couple of years ago, when I was at high school and also every now and then. When I first heard of this tanning lotion I was in love. Okay it did gradually tan but the lotion smelt weird. It didn't have a any yummy dove scent. The dove tan lotion gives you a great gradual glow or tan. This may be good for after you tan with a mousse or spray.

This product gives the glow it says for sure! For me the medium to dark only really works in winter, however in summer I find it works to even out any tan lines!

I used this product to put a bit of colour in my legs before I went into hospital, just to make me feel a bit better! Worked really well, and after only 2 nights of application. I only wanted a slight tan, so this was great for me.

A good gradual tanner and moisturiser. It doesn't hugely tan for me but it does accentuate my tan and gives a glow.
