Does the job!

I have been using this for a long time now and find it to be a nice gradual tan. I really don’t love the smell of it for some reason but this doesn’t stop me from using it. Works well when you use often and builds a nice tan. It’s a good price and it’s my go to tanning product.

Tips: I put on a normal moisturiser first (garnier works well) usually just around knees, elbows and hands to avoid tan building up in drier areas and to do my hands I mix some in with a little handcream. Exfoliate before tanning to get rid of dead skin.

Summer glow?

Not sure whether I really love this product or not. I find that I don't really see to much of a difference when I use this alone. Now I tend to use this along with a spray tanning product (at the moment sugarbaby) so as to not over do the spray products.

I do like that this product is not crazy orange tan after one use. I like that it works well in conjunction with another tanning product if you are looking for a quicker tan. I like that it is easy to use and does not come out streaky. I just don't like that it takes a while to build up the tan (...I can be impatient!)

Tips: Works well to maintain a fake tan already in place!

Summer Glow

I feel that this product accentuates your natural skin colour by giving it a nice 'glow'. It does gradually build up but nothing too drastic. I guess that is why I like it so much though. I've never been brave enough to get a spray tan out of fear of being orange so this is a nice alternative. The one thing that I warn you about is that after a few showers or a while in the water it can start to run or glug into spots. I usually get a nice spot of orangey goodness in between my boobs, but that is also due to my lack of exfoliation as well haha. Overall a great product and subtle alternative to spray tanning.

Lovely summer glow

I have used this product for years, fuss free, goes on well and the colour is good. Only downside is the smell, the typical 'fake tan' smell.

Dove Summer Glow

i've used this for a few years now and have always been pleased with the results, although a few of my friends who are fairer then me have ended up with it looking very orange on them.

Tips: Be careful using if you have fair skin

Might Have to Return to It

I used this religiously a few years ago, but then stopped tanning regularly when i moved to Dunedin...as there was no need to ever get the legs out with it being so cold and all! However, when I did used to use this product I LOVED it. I was reminded of this product when I saw it was available for review on BR and I had this urge to return to using it!. I felt it does just what it says it will. Dove is always known for its moisturizing and creamy products and I felt this was no different, it was really smooth. It provided a nice colour to my legs, not orange or muddy brown, just natural. I also really liked the smell, it wasn't too overpowering. Everything about this product is just right *Those bears and Goldilocks sure would be happy*

Tips: Oldie and an obvious one but the day before first application, exfoliate :)

Dove Summer Glow

I used this stuff for a while...until I realised how orange I was! I have whiter than paper legs (The only part of my body that will not tan), and this tan made "oompa loompa orange" look tame. It look OK for the first application, but then I'd have to wait for it to completely disappear before I applied it again. If I applied it too soon, I'd put an Orange to shame...

Tips: Great for one time use, not so great for continuous use on fair skin and exfoliate!

Dove Summer Glow

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.

Tips: Make sure you don't apply too much to your ankles, sometimes it can look very orange. Exfoliate before use.

Dove Summer Glow

The best lotion/tanner to get a subtle all over colour and glow without using a product specifically designed for tanning. I love how easy it is to use and takes absolutely no extra time after showering....just moisturise like usual!

Tips: Be careful with rubbing it in completely on your hands and around your wrists to avoid streaks.
