Only gradual tanner I use

I use this product whenever I know I need to look tanned for something. I can get a really nice tan like I have been out in the sun for weeks in just days. I love how fast this gradual tanner works. The lotion is quite thick and does take a while to dry but I find has a nice fresh scent. I never get any uneven patches when I use this and I find it gives a very natural tan which I like. I found that even if I left a day without reapplying I wouldn't lose the tan straight away even after shaving.

Tips: Wait a while before putting clothes on. Make sure you wash your hands really well because it can turn your nails a yellow colour. Apply twice a day for a faster tan.

Okay for the price

Im half and half with this product, i do quite like it however i did end up a little on the orange side and i definately do not like the smell of it! I also end up a little streaky sometimes as it is quite wet. I apply before bed and wake up with a tan, It lasts a good few days and i just reapply or build it up over 2-3 days to get a darker colour then just re-apply every 4-5 days or so to keep it up. Affordable but a tad too orange for my liking.

Tips: Once applied use a hairdryer to dry it, also apply lightly over the knees, ankles wrists elbows etc.

Dove Summer Glow

I bought this product one year ago and I am a loyal customer of this product! I must reveal I am quite tan myself however I use this 2-3 days in a row just before the day I wanna look super tan and it worked perfectly! However last summer I used it daily and by one week the fake-ish tan look was not noticeable. pretty good product, works subtly.

Tips: Be careful when applying- wash your hands afterwards or you could do what i do, rub your hands with a wet towel mainly between your fingers as the tan kindof stays on your hands without leaving orange spots. Also be careful with the ankle region- do not use socks until it absorbs otherwise it will leave obvious orange marks too.

Not too bad!

This moisturiser smells really good and goes on really nicely, however, I didn't find that I quite got the results I hoped for! It definitely did give me a slight bit of a tan, but it took quite some time! I did find that sometimes the tan would go a bit streaky, but it made me try to be more consistent with the application! It is an alright product for the price, but not 100% sure if I would use it again!

Tips: Definitely wash your hands after application! No one likes orange fingers!

Smooth, tanned legs!

Love this stuff. I'm super pale and this is the only tanning thing I use. It starts off as a subtle glow, not too noticable but each day you build it up it gets gradually darker until it turns into such a nice tan! It's great for paler people so you don't go orange and you can get your desired effect. It smells amazing, lasts for ages and moisturises great! It's a good price an does it's job well. It lasts a while too I usually put it on at night times but you just have to let it sink in before bed. I love that it doesn't to streaky, it's very smooth and natural looking. It comes in a squeeze bottle so it's easy to put straight onto your legs :)

Even pale girls can get a summer glow

As a pale girl I was a bit worried about trying this product in that it would a) not work or b) work too well (e.g. hello orange). But this product has truly blown my expectations! The best thing about Dove Summer Glow is that not only does it also contain a very rich moisturiser, but it also allows you to decide how build able you want the look to be - if you're very pale like me, you probably don't want to go too tan or you will look out of proportion with the rest of your body. However this allows you to stop when you wish to - as it works gradually. A true summer necessary!

Tips: Wash your hands thoroughly after applying.

Blown Away Love!

Great product to use everytime i'm out of the shower, it's part of my beauty routine. I love how easy it is to apply to the body, and does add moisterizer so body isn't dry and flaky. This will be something I will continue to buy, and for a pick me up use over winter I feel much better with a little tan, it's so natural looking and adds a good glow! bring on summer

Tips: Ensure you do wash your hands after applying been caught with orange marks between my hands with this, also I'm a natural read head, so fair,skin but always use medium to dark, find it actually is fine, and works like magic...

Great for a natural tan!

I love love love this moisturiser! I have olive skin and like to maintain this through winter as well as go a shade or two darker in the summer. The bottle is a decent size and the moisturiser comes out really easily. I love to use this straight after a shower and I rub the moisturiser in circular motions, making sure to apply evenly. I have the medium to dark shade and I love the fact that a day after using this I already have a natural looking tan. I don't find this product to be patchy or orange at all and it is so moisturizing on my body! I use this every day and find that exfoliating every few days helps keep my tan smooth and even. I find my skin really does look like it has a nice sun kissed glow to it and it is so easy to maintain. I would recommend this to others who want a natural glow to their skin, or even a light tan. It's very easy to use and maintain, it's really affordable (can usually pick this up from countdown on sale for $6) and it is great for hydrating and moisturizing the skin. Sometimes I use this on my face as well because my face is always a lot paler than my body. As a mum I like the convenience of this product and it really works for my busy lifestyle.

Tips: Exfoliate every few days to keep tan even. Use only every few days if you are quite fair as this product gives colour to your skin straight away.

Dove

Have been using this product for a few years now and it never fails to make my skin shine and look tanned aswell as moisturising it!! I don't use this every day but a few days before an event or going out and it's perfect! Deff apply after a shower and wait and let dry before getting dressed or it may streak, also wash hands throughly after, I've been caught with orangey hands hehe

Always a great price. Easy to apply, never streaky if applied properly ;-)

Tips: Apply in circles , Let cream dry Wash hands after :-)

Fabulous Faux Tan for Fair Maidens

I love the fact that this product provides a gradual build up which safeguards against any orange looking fake tan diasters! Great product that goes on smoothly and is not greasy. This is my trustly year long gradual build up tane and being a rather fair skinned person I find I dont have to use it too many times before I get desired tan.

Tips: Make sure you utilise exfoliant before using, like all fake tans to prevent patchy areas
