Glow!!!!

So I'm already tan and do not need his but I love using it to make my skin look even in colour and gives me sun kissed bronzed legs that I love!!!! However I do feel like it doesn't work that well for my lighter friends but for myself sure does!!!

Tanning cream

The tanning cream is nice to use for a tanner glow and it makes you feel more confident and I can wear shorts without having to worry about being so pale

Tips: I suggest you don't apply another layer after one night cause it dies appear orange

Summer Glow

Dove’s summer glow is a gradual self tanner that slowly gives you skin a natural sun kissed glow. I enjoy how easy this moisturiser rubs into the skin and doesn’t rub off on my clothing and sheets after applying. It also leaves my skin super soft.

Tips: Be extra careful applying around knees ankles ect...

Nice light, gradual tan

Many years ago in my early teen years, I used this religiously before discovering the more instant fake tan products.

I found this to be fairly easy to use, although a little hard to apply. It is also sticky for quite a few hours after putting it on. There is no colour when you rub the cream on, so it's hard to see if you've missed a spot. Sometimes I'd wake up the morning after applying it and find that I'd missed somewhere, or some parts were a bit streaky. If you get the application right then it does look really natural.

The smell is very obviously a 'fake tan' smell.

Tips: Exfoliate and moisturize the day before you apply for best results.

Smells great

I love the way this smells!! That is probably my favourite thing about it. The issue I have with this is that it takes a really long time to dry completely and the next time I shower I feel like it is still on my skin and washes off rather than it having absorbed when applied but I don't actually know if that's what it is meant to do as the pack it says allow to absorb fully before dressing so I don't expect it to come off again..

Tips: Definitely wash your hands with soap after use and wait for it to dry before dressing.

It’s ok

This does what it says and gradually tans pretty well however the formula feels a bit outdated to me there’s much better products with a more natural tan as a result it’s a good product for the price but I personally this it’s worth spending a little more to get a more natural looking tan also I don’t really like the smell

Does what it says it will do

I have used the dove tanning lotion many times and still using it. It does what it says and it dries really fast within 30 seconds. I only use it when I’m wearing dresses for work and it gives me a nice tan. I love my legs and with this tan on my leg’s really look good.

Tips: Always wash hands when finished as it does stain

Summer glow me dove!

I am not a fan of tanning beds and spray on tans are too messy, so doves gradual tan is brilliant! it coloured up nice and nice natural (had to watch my knees though as they tended to soak up colour and go orange) and if i wanted a darker or lighter tan i just adjusted the amount of coats i put on. it didnt stain my hands if i washed off straight away and it doesnt smell as weird as other gradual tanning lotions. i love that it moisturised at the same time! It doesnt last long but i dont mind that as i think we need to learn to be comfortable in our natural skin too, but was nice to put on a day or so before a special outing :)

Tips: do a practice run first when you will be home the next couple of days and just experiment, its great to put on a day or so before a big outing so it has time to settle a bit :)

great product

i really like this product , i don't have time to go to tanning beds or get a spray tan so this is perfect, i just apply it after my shower .its also not streaky which is a plus:)

Tips: Remember to exfoliate before the first application so the tan goes on nicely and not streaky

A little head start!

I use this lotion at the beginning of "short season" to stop snowblinding people with my white legs! Its really does only take a couple of days to make a difference and unlike fake tans it is really easy to apply and smells nice!

Tips: Apply body lotion to your knees, elbows and ankles first to stop them from over tanning
