Dove Summer Glow Review

I want to say I loved this lotion, and it was ok. Last summer I used it twice a day. I bought it because I ran out of my usual lotion with a self tanner and couldn't find it anywhere. I chose Dove because they are well known for being good for the skin so I decided they were the best choice. The lotion was nice, smelt fine, way smooth and creamy and didn't leave stains behind like the other brand did sometimes. However the subtle tan was so subtle I couldn't see it with the Dove lotion and the lotion was quite thick so I went through the bottle quicker than usual. All in all, I would get it if I couldn't find anything I liked better. It was lovely on the skin, but gave no subtle tan.

I'm the type of person that does my best in the time I have and that just has to do! I used to apply this the same as a normal moisturizer, trying my best to get even coverage on my legs then going about with my day, well day one is great! I see a slight tan that gradually builds up each day with prolonged usage. Unfortunately for me, my knees are dryer than the rest of my legs so require more lotion so end up several shades darker, an almost orange colour. I try again, and end up with streaks on the back of my calves. This product has the potential to be fantastic , but I dont see it as user-friendly for busy ladies on the go.

I do like this product, and it is one I have been using for many years now. I used to use it all the time when I was at high school, to give me a natural looking glow during the summer when we had to wear skirts. However, I did feel that this could often go quite yellowish on my legs and around my ankles and feet. I suppose I could have been using it too much or something, but it was quite ugly. I still use this product every once and a while. I also do not love the smell, but it is not too overly pungent.

I have used this product on and off for over 5 years. I seem to always buy it on sale and forget why I don't use it. Don't get me wrong it does what it says (by giving you a gradual tan) but putting it on alone is a mission. Rubbing it in then waiting for it to dry is worse than watching paint dry because depending on where you've applied it (usually everywhere) you have to stand around naked waiting too. And forget trying to wear tight fitting clothes or white clothes either.i can tell when you have applied it and its not dry yet as its tacky feeling on my skin. And even after its dried and 'soaked in' I still find it being sticky feeling. ld much rather use a spray on or go get it done professionally.

This product is great if you want to build a subtle summer glow if you're too afraid to use awkward to use sprays or don't want to damage your skin in the sun. The cream form helps with an even application, therefore an even tan and you can apply a little or a lot depending on how dark you want to get. Only downfall for me, is the strong scent, staying in your clothing and sheets.

i bought this at the supermarket. the words summer glow had me curious, and i usually like dove. its a good brand.

the smell is quite nice, i really only use this on my legs though so its not too noticeable. the lotion is off white but when it dries on the lid its brown.

it is a very gradual tanner, but you have to use it every day to get any coloring out of it. it rubs in easily. it took too long to make me look tanned but i felt like my legs were more moisturized.

I purchased this knowing it was a ‘tinted moisturiser’ hoping it would make my legs look tanner. It takes about a day for it to make your legs look darker after putting it on and if you rub it in properly you don’t get streaks or blotchy patches which I like. It has an okay smell to it so I will use it again if I need too.

I have uneven skin tone all the time. I'm always well tanned on my legs and arms but never my whole body. Pretty much my first time using this in lotion form.

Comes in a decent sized bottle; had my bottle for a few weeks. Feels more like a runny lotion with intense scent of shea butter. Dries down in a few minutes. No streaks which is a plus. No spills onto clothing either. That is my pet hate about tanners is the mess it leaves on clothing.

Overall middle of the road product nothing great here but gives you hydration. I wouldn't call it a summer glow as such through. Might need to reword the name I think. Like summer hydration tanning tint or something like that.

Sick of looking at my white legs so I wanted something light and natural to give just a slight tan. Nothing too obvious or high maintenance. This did the trick in that regard. Pros- light tan, looks natural, no streaks, can apply with hands risk free, big bottle for cheap price. Cons - never truly dries, I stuck to the leather couch, I smell like developing tan all day. There are much better gradual tans out there. This one does the trick by looking great but the smell and greasyness is not ideal.

This product is 50/50 for me. It was nice as a lotion, had quite a velvety smooth texture and moisturised a lot, and smelt quite nice, but when they say gradual tan, they really mean gradual. I used this consistently for about two months and saw almost no noticeable change in colour. If your looking for a tanning lotion, this is not for you, however great as a general use lotion still!
