I purchased Dove Summer glow a couple of weeks before a winter getaway to the Islands, so I didn't scare the locals with my beyond pale skin! I wasn't disappointed. Summer Glow was easily applied, I did it straight after my shower, glided on smoothly like a moisturiser I was careful to apply it evenly and avoiding build up on areas like elbows, ankles & knees. There wasn't an overpowering chemical smell with this either, only a slight hint of it after application but I suspect that's unavoidable with tanning products. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and the tan was a nice colouring, no oompa loompas here. I'm definitely using this again, and being available from supermarkets, and budget friendly price, it's a big hit in my books.

Tips: As with any tanning product, exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!
I've always been super nervous about any kind of tanning product as I have quite fair skin and hints of ginger in my hair so thought I could so easily end up bright orange! I still haven't ventured to any full on fake tans but I love love love Dove Summer Glow. I use it daily for a few weeks and it builds up a gradual tan that looks so natural! I've never had any issues with going orange and find that it's a great moisturiser as well...bonus! My only downside is that I can never get the last bits out of the bottle, this is a seriously life saving product for pale old me.
Tips: Don't expect instant results - it does take a few weeks to build up.
Love this product, it builds a natural looking tan and you can keep applying the product across a time period to build the tan up depending how dark you want it. I have never had an issue with going orange and love using this in the winter when I cant get in the sun as much! Make sure to exfoliate on elbows, knees, ankles (anywhere you have joints) before applying the product.
Tips: Wash hands after use!
A great moisturiser, does the job and builds up a slight tan. Doesn't smell too strong And its reasonably priced
Tips: Exfoliate before you use for a better result
I used to use this when I wasn't so lazy lol it's just like a moisturizer but better. It's easy to rub in, the smell isn't over powering, you cant mess it up so no streaking, and its a gradual tan so thats not orange. The only downfall is your palms become very tanned
Tips: Wash your hand well afterwards
I was surprised how quickly it worked on my skin, within 3 days I had a nice natural looking bronzed glow. You do have to be careful around the knees and feet as mine went a little orange if I applied too much. I only apply it once a day at night as it got a bit too orange on the body applying it twice a day.
I am extremley pale. If i use this every couple days on my legs it keeps them the perfect shade to match with my arms and make me look naturally tan! I don't know what I'd do without fake tan it is my life!
I love this product, its the first "fake tan" i have ever used and i love it.. i have extremely sensitive skin and im covered in eczema, hence why i was very reluctant to try this. however i went on holiday to aussie and (i am very pale) wanted to go back with a tan.. i looked at many different types but for the price of Dove i couldnt say no. so i used it for a week and feel in love, i was scared id turn orange but i didnt :) when i got back from my holiday everyone was commenting how wonderful my tan was, i now use it for if a have a special event coming up or just to get ride of my paleness, i wouldnt like twice about buying again! also it lasts for a long time as you dont need to use at lot of it :)
Tips: use it after showering, i found every second day did the trick for me!
I have the palest palest skin, so I dread the first hot days of summer when I have to brave a skirt at work but it's too hot for tights - I've had many orange streaky disasters in my quest for healthy tanned skin, and Dove has been a consistent performer for the last 5 years. It smells nice, no chemical smell, and tans gradually so you don't turn up at work looking like an oompa loompa - there are no orange knees and ankles and it's a nice natural colour - the only downside is that my nice white towels get a subtle "glow" as it seems to come off a little the next day in the shower
Tips: Exfoliate Exfoliate Exfoliate!!!
I love this! Most people would say that brown/darker skins do not need a tan but why not give it an extra bit of glow, in my opinion :). Well I used the medium-dark dove summer glow to do just that. I do go quite dark during summer but liked the fact that this gave a natural glow to my skin. The scent is lovely, not overpowering. It's not sticky and applies evenly.
Tips: The golden rule about using tanning products, is that you need to exfoliate first. It smoothes your skin, therefore preps it before applying the tan. Only use during the day and allow to dry for a few minutes so that it does not rub onto your skin.
