This product is great for a gradual natural looking tan. I am extremely pale and hate going to the beach in summer without fake tan, I love this product because it builds without streaking and doesn't smell horrible like most fake tans.

Fabulous
I love this product!!! I'm not the type to sit out in the sun and kill my skin, so before heading out I would apply this x3 times to get the tan I was after, even better that it stayed on after a shower
Tips: Rub it in properly and don't go over bored apply small amounts but in a couple doses, no one likes patchy skin

Dove Summer Glow
I love this product. We all know the dangers of the sun these days but like to have a healthy looking tan. Blends in really well and really does give a natural looking glow. I apply after my shower as it moisturises too

Patchy and orange
I used to love this 3-4 years ago so i know how to use it. I exfoliated, shaved and moisturised my dry patches to ensure it would go on evenly. I was super disappointed to realise the next day my ankles and feet had orange patches. I am wondering if the ingredients or recipe changed! But would not recommend to anyone anymore sadly

Great product!
I actually find this product to be one of the best moisterizers out there, I have really dry skin and most moisterizers just absorb and my skin goes back to bein dry and flaky within a few hours. But I find this product to leave my skin soft and moisterizered over night :) As well as subtly leaving a nice tan over summer!

Best I have found yet
I can't say I fake tan on a regular basis but when I am feeling a bit pale or want a nice even glow this is the product I go for. I do need to make sure I rub it in very well as it can be easy to miss a few spots but when I am though this product gives me an even glow.
Tips: I am pale but go for the medium/ dark shade this way a little goes a long way and I can get a nice natural looking tan in just one application. Apply the night before as can smell quite fake tanny.

Light glow
I loved loved loved this product when I used it! I was 20ish when I used this product and used it for a good 3 years. I think I just ran out and didn't buy more. If I came across it again I would definitely re purchase. However my tan has been my last worry with 3 kids keeping me busy lol
I always applied this after having a shower. Making sure that I was applying the same amount to each arm ad leg. Using a little more for my tummy, chest and neck. My partner at the time used to do my back for me.
It really is a gradual build up. Don't expect miracles over night but it does build a nice glow to your skin. I mist certainly went from paw to having a soft tan. Which was nice because I've been sprayed tanned before and good grief never again, I really didn't like the instant tan.
Once applied make sure you do wash your hands!!! If you don't? You end up with dark palms lol and nobody wants that.
Tips: Use regularly everyday after a shower if you want to see a faster result, apply every 2nd day for a gradual build up

Every day gradual glow
I love this product it is an oldie but a goodie...and at $6.99 at the supermarket its a lovely little way to slip a little glamour into your beauty routine.
I have very fair skin so when I'm looking for a tanning product I have to be careful to use products that aren't too bronze or orange. I love Dove Summer Glow because it is gentle enough to use every day and the color just gradually builds up without becoming streaky or sticky...better still it moisturizes and nourishes my skin as it works in. This is a great way to build up a slight tan heading into summer with very natural results.
Tips: I'd recommend applying this product all year round as it is so natural looking.A lovely way to build up a tan heading into summer if you struggle to gain a summer glow and have very fair skin.

Good but not raving about it!
This product was released many years ago now and I remember using it back when it was first released. It definitely did as it said - light tanning lotion that gradually built with no lines or streaks plus moisturiser! For all these reasons I was impressed, and I could use it every day without the colour darkening too much. The only thing that I wasn't impressed with was that the lotion still smelt a bit like regular tanning lotions, that lingering smell that makes it very obvious that you might be faking it! This smell set in after an hour or so of wear, so not obvious on initial application.

I'm pretty sure most women in NZ have a bottle of this in their cupboard. It is great to have on hand for the start of summer when the body hasn't seen the sun in a while and is lookin a little white. It is so handy to be able to apply a few times and know you will have a nice glow prior to hitting the beaches. The main reason I couldn't scare a 5 here is because the smell is obvious. Even though it doesn't smell bad - it smells like fake tan and every time I put it on someone says to me "Oh you've got you're summer glow on today" which I don't think I a great comment to get when you want people to thing you're tan is real!
Tips: Don't use it every day and exfoliate prior to using. Good if you are a night shower person and can put it on before bed so the smell isn't so strong the next day.
