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.
I bought this at the supermarket thinking it was just a normal moisturizer as I was in a rush. When I read it was a light tanner, I was a bit hesitant to put it on my skin as I am VERY pale and thought it may make my legs look out of place. It takes a while for the tanner to start working and be noticeable, but I was pleasantly surprised when I started to see a nice 'summer glow' as they call it, which is great during the Winter months where I get no sun at all. I don't know how to describe the smell of the lotion, but it sticks for ages, not that I'm complaining, it's lovely :) It leaves my skin amazingly soft and smooth for hours afterwards, I generally only apply after showers though. The consistency was what you would expect from a normal moisturizing lotion, and has a slight skin toned colour from the tanning part. A little goes a long way as well, I can see this product lasting me a lot longer than any other moisturizer I've used in the past.
Tips: Wash your hands after you use this product, even though the tanning agent is slight, you don't wanna risk getting it on white clothing. Wait until it has completely dried before putting anything on top (clothes, blankets etc.) especially if you use the product often and plan on building up an even coverage.
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.
Used the light colour on my Scottish, white skin...Gives a nice natural colour when used every day.. Drawback is that still has a funny smell tho!!
I found this gradual tanner the only one that didnt make go orange. I dont really like the smell, but i found it quite nice that it was a moisturiser more than a Tanner. I do like the fact that it actually helps maintain the tan of my other Tanner i use. And one bottle has lasted me nearly 8 months so totally worth the $$
Tips: dont forget to do between your toes!!!
As a wickedly pale person I tend to be very hesitant when it comes to tanning lotions however going into the sun results in burning, freckling and peeling so I thought I would give this product a try. Having given it a read, what stood out to me was the idea of a gradual tan as it meant I wouldn't suddenly turn into a completely different colour and it seemed a bit more controlled. It takes a few days to really notice any result at all, which is a good thing and a bad thing. The formula itself is nice and spreads easily plus goes a loooong way. I was quite surprised when I realised the amount I intended for one leg could actually do both legs reasonably easy. I found the colour to be natural looking which was important. It does not last long and tends to wash out easily which I also liked as I wasn't stuck with it after my experimenting. I definitely think this is a good option for people not too keen on self tan but dont want to rush into the dangers of the sun all day. Great price too!
Tips: Definitely wash your hands thoroughly after this! Make sure it is spread evenly or it can go patchy. Basic self tan precautions apply here!
I do quite like this product for a nice light natural tan, it does definitely give you a sun kissed look, I usually apply this two- three times over a week to get more of a tan, I like this for every day wear rather then night time. It also has a strong smell but I'm a fake tan fan so I don't mind it and doesn't stain your hands!
Tips: I usually wear latex gloves to apply this as I find it can be quite streaky if I don't! But you don't have to if your a pro at applying this
I have super pale skin, especially my legs, I was recommended this product as there is one for us fair skin ladies, I used it every 2days as I was terrified of going orange, it was working ok for the first 2 or 3 applications, then I went orange and streaky, maybe it is just my skin, but was kinda gutted with the result
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
Buildable coverage can be achieved with this product, also leaving the skin smelling, looking and feeeling amazing! Would honestly reccommend this for people wanting cheap affordable self-tanner. the only problem i had was waiting for the cream to completely DRY before going to bed or putting clothes on because it would end up getting patchy or having streaks on my skin.
Tips: Make sure to rub through this product in circular motions to avoid nasty streaking!
