Healthy glow

This stuff gives you a subtle tan and moisturises you at the same time! I love this stuff. However it is a bit time consuming because you have to let it dry before putting your clothes on.

The tan gradually builds up on the week, but it gives a natural looking tan. It has a really pleasant smell, not chemically or too strong. You really can't go wrong with this stuff!!

Tips: Rub this stuff in after a shower or bath since your skin is still subtle. It'll make the application smoother. Be sure to wash your hands after rubbing it all in! From personal experience, you can wait till it's about 80% dry before putting clothes on. I don't think it rubs it off since it gradually builds the colour up.

Great for in-between tan days

I use this in between tan days, it makes my tan last longer and moisturises my skin so incredibly well. I'm not a huge fan of the fragrance, but its not offensive, just that tan smell. Comes in a huge bottle which lasts me a few months. It takes a while to sink into the skin, so not great when putting on skinny jeans straight after applying, so I prefer to pop this on in the evening before bed.

Tips: Sounds silly but blast your skin with a hairdryer to get the moisturiser to dry quicker if you are in a hurry!

Summer in a bottle

I really really love this product! Its pretty much the only body moisturiser I use... Killing two birds with one stone is big in my books: Moisturiser + tan. woohoo

Nice sleek bottle, pleasant smell that does not leave you with that fake tan smell. The tan is a lovely natural golden colour which I get compliments on often. As I use this daily I make sure i have scrub my body so does not get orangey and built up especially around my ankles, wrists and elbows.

One of my favourite things about Dove Summer Glow is the price! I just grab it from Countdown when doing the Supermarket shopping!

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a light gradual tan.

Tips: Make sure you scrub your body before use and wash your hands after application, do not forget in between your fingers!

Dove Summer Glow

Defs gives you a sunkissed look but not for already tanned skin lol. It gave me a tiny subtle colour but overall not for darkies.

Even and Natural

This is a great product when you want to gradually get a subtle tan, if you apply too much it will give you more of an orange look but if you slowly apply it over a few days you will achieve a nice even natural looking glow.

Tips: scrub your hands right after

love it!

my favorite gradual tanner! so moisturizing and works gradually to give you a nice, natural tanned glow!! not good if you are looking for an instant tan and you have to make sure you apply evenly!

Summer glow

This seems to be the ONLY summer body cream with a hint of self tan that doesn't smell horrible. Really, it smells lovely! I would recommend this to anyone! A beautiful product, well done Dove! :)

Tips: Make sure you spread it evenly and ALWAYS wash your hands afterwards as your palms may be tanned :p

Never lets me down!

I've never been good at fake-tanning, and I can honestly say there would be some pretty scary (think streaky, tiger-stripe tan!) looking photos of me out there on Facebook if I wasn't able to rely on this to get my tan on. I can always be confident that this will give me a nice tan, especially if I start a few days before I want the tan to really appear.

It's so easy to rub in evenly, and because it's gradual I never have to worry about streaks! I've had so many comments over the years too, saying what a nice natural tan I've got and asking if I've been out in the sun. When I tell people I did it myself they're always surprised!

Huge bonus too is how awesomely moisturising it is for my skin. Nice to be able to skip the extra step of body lotion in the morning. Improves my skin's appearance, and feeling! It feels nice after applying too, not too greasy like other lotions can.

Been using this for 3+ years now, and can't imagine stopping anytime soon!

Tips: It is gradual - like it says - so if you're wanting to be quite darker than you already are, definitely start as much in advance as possible. 3-4 days before a big event usually does it for me, but doesn't hurt to start earlier either!

Also remember to wash your hands after applying, even if it is just a gradual tanner. I learned this the hard way! You will still end up with those lovely orange tan-palms.

Dove Summer Glow

LOVE this product!! I've tried a lot of different products and I have found this is the best one out! Has a really nice smell (love the smell) and absorbs quickly. The smell can be overpowering if you have a perfume intolerants. It tints/tans the skin without streaks. It has a natural look. I found it worked really quickly too!! Love it!!

Tips: Buy it!! And yeah....be careful with elbows and knees :) Don't over apply these areas. As any other tanning product....don't over apply.

My "go to" for summer!!

I LOVE Dove summer Glow! I use it every year when I want to start wearing shorts and skirts because the weather has fined up but my legs are still pasty white!! Its so nice to use, it doesnt streak, it moisturisers at the same time, and to top it all off I love the smell! You can really notice the tan building up over time,so it doesnt take long to get that tanned look without having to sit out in the sun. Its definatly affordable,and most supermarkets have it,so easy to find too. Alot cheaper and better for you than sun beds too!

Tips: Leave your body parts to dry for 5 or so mins before putting clothes on top, doesnt leave you greasy feeling but the times I have put clothes on straight after application the next day i have noticed patches where my clothing has worn some of it off
