I havent used this for a while as I have recently found a product that better suits my needs. It says it creates a gradual tan, which it most certainly does, but you need to ensure to apply it evenly and rub in thoroughly to make sure the tan is even, if not done correctly there will be fear of blotchyness. In saying this I did use the product for approximately 5 years before I found something better.

I use to use this product quite a bit while on the hunt for the perfect fake-tan! The gradual build up of tanning seems like a good idea to begin with, but doesn't actually work that well in reality. The reason for this being that you're constantly applying new fake tan over the top of old tan that is starting to come off in different places. The result ends up being a quite uneven, streaky look. It product also gives you a very yellowish tone which doesn't look very natural. It also smells weird and the smell lingers on your skin and clothes/bedding etc!
This is a must have for summer. I use the fair skin type and it tans skin such a natural colour and really gradually so you control how dark you get.
Tips: I use it every second day, as it gets too dark too quickly otherwise. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughy after you use it.
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.
Tips: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water straight after use. Make sure you get in between your fingers and under jewellery.
I have dark skin anyway, however just like everyone else I get horrible tan lines I have found using this it evens out that line and gives me a beautiful summer glow all year round its not streaky or messy an is as easy as putting moisturizer on sometimes something so easy is hard to believe, but this is wonderful. Suitable fir everyone.
Tips: Adjust usage to suit skin.
I have super pale skin, and when I try to tan its very uneven. Dove summer glow is amazing and so easy to apply, being a gradual tan I can’t muck it up!! If I want it to be dark fast I will just spend the whole day adding layers until I’m happy with the colour. It’s the best tan I have tried and would 100% recommend it to anyone after that summer glow. :)
This tan (for me personally) did not work out that great as I found that the more you gradually applied it, the more room there was for it to streak- which it did. The first couple of coats went on quite nicely but then there seemed to be a buildup and it went quite streaky and had a slight orange tinge. I would still prefer my instant tans over this but i can see how it would also work perfectly for others!
This gradual tanning moisturiser is AWESOME! You can do a coat at night and in the morning if you have an event that arvo/evening. It will tan you quickly but will still look naturally. Otherwise you can do it every second day for an on going natural tan. Love that it has less odour than other tanning products so you can still sleep at night without it being too overpowering. Have used this product for many summers and before island holidays to get that sun kissed look. You won't regret using this product.
Tips: I apply to my knees, wrist and elbows then will dab so there is no extra cream residue, no one wants orange!
This product is amazing! you can do one layer and it gives a nice little glow or the more layers you add the more tan you become. Although if you put too much on it can get really dark in the dryer areas ( elbows and knees) so be careful :)
Tips: Exfoliate proir to application to remove dead skin, otherwise the dead skin will flake and so will your tan
As far as moisturising self tanners go, this is my favourite. Im not a huge fan of them as i do feel they still all have a slight yellowy/orange look to them. but of all the ones i've tried this one was the best for me im really fair so its really hard to find one that doesnt look orange straight away this was great on my skin. Plus it left my skin feeling nice as well, no building up on knees and ankles etc.
