i already have an olive complexion, but you can never be too tan! although you can be too orange which if i used this for too long i felt like i did start to look orangy instead of having a more natural tan but all my other friends who have used it, it has look great so may just be my weird skin! but overall it is so affordable you cant go too wrong, just make sure you apply perfectly cause it isnt as forgiving as temporary tanning cream :P

It smells nice, and isn't too strong, therefore it can be used as a very gradual build up. The only problem is that considering it is also a moisturiser, it can be easy to use too much too often, and end up with the orange streaks that one tries to avoid by staying away from standard self-tanners.
It smells nice, and it is a great size bottle.
Tips: It will still make your hands orange if you don't wash them immediately after applying. Make sure you use up the bottle in a decent amount of time (probably within a year) because I have used older bottles where the ingredients have reacted or settled and resulted in a less than ideal colour.
Worked well for a gradual tan, I used the darkest skin tone available to achieve a darker tan. To me the smell is somewhat off putting - different scents would be great to bring to the range! This product is a great moisturiser for a tanning product, leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The colour achieved after two or so days of application is a natural looking tan just like when you sun bath, no orange fake looking colours, not at all patchy and no streak marks left behind. They only negative is the product will stain your hands if not washed after application. If you after a very dark tan I wouldn't recommend this as this product will achieve a natural sun kissed look only
Tips: Make sure hands are well moisturised before application and wash straight after
I got some of this from the warehouse for $2 because the lid was broken, BARGAIN! I used it over summer and still have tonnes! I think it leaves a very nice finish, but you have to remember to wash your hands directly after applying and make sure you have applied evenly (just like any tanning lotion). I like the smell of it for some reason haha, the packaging (aside from my broken lid) is convenient. And this definitely leaves the skin feeling nourished and looking good
Tips: Remember to wash hands after application
I love this product, being a pale Ginger the sun and I never agree so when I need a bit of a Glow and a pick me up I reach for this. Because it has a gradual build up of colour there is very little chance of turning orange. Application is as easy as moisturizing and dries fast. I found the light to medium too light for my liking so I use the Dark. The bottle is a great size so it really is value for money. The scent is nothing offensive. I find myself reaching for it in winter to just give a slight hint of colour to my skin.
Tips: Like any fake tan remember to wash your hands after using it. I also found it irritated my skin if I had just shaved so my tip would be if you have sensitive skin wait a bit before you apply.
I use this every summer on my legs. I don't ever now use another brand because once I found this and it worked there was no need. You just need to make sure you exfoliate for a few days before starting to apply otherwise it gets patchy especially around the knee area. Easy application and doesn't take too long to dry depending on how much you apply.
Tips: Exfoliate!! This could have a prettier smell to it but otherwise great
Yes i would use this again, but I am still looking for the perfect fake tanner. This is the best i have tried so far. It is affordable, does not smell unpleasant and is easy to apply. The colour is good, a builds up with each application, no nasty streaks.
Tips: Dont forget to wash your hands and for extra moisturising i have had success diluting it further with moisturiser.
I like this product. Gives you a nice, brown glow gradually and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. I would use this again, just put a little on, sparingly, a day.
Tips: Use after a bath/ shower
it is hands down the best, most easiest tanning product i have used. i never go over orange or streaky which is great. I know its a gradual tan product, but with such white skin like mine, i don't want to look ridiculously over tanned. love it!
For $7.99 i purchased Doves summer Glow gradual tan used it twice, and already my skin looked and felt amazing i was beach ready in one day! i had no problems with streaks or unwanted orange clusters on my dry spots. My only issue with it, was its after smell about n hr after application it had a lingering off smell on me that i couldn't get rid of because it was coming out of my pores and i did not want to risk streaks by showering so quickly afterwards. So yes the product is great but smell not so much .
Tips: Apply perfume on afterwards to hide that unfortunate smell.
