Dove Summer Glow Review

Uggh I hate to bag on a beloved tried and true product but honestly it’s time for a refresh. It’s super affordable and the resulting tan is great but the smell is so strong and in my opinion not that pleasant. After all this time I wish they’d offer an alternative. Fragrance-free? Cocoa butter? Rose? Also I think the formula is too greasy.

This is my favourite gradual tanner, I like the smell and it does feel moisterising as well. It gives a nice colour, not too orange. I like that it is easily available from supermarkets etc and it is not an expensive product. And also that it is such an easy tanner to use, real fake tan kind of scares me so I like that this will just give me a subtle result and I can build it up if I want to.

The first time I used this on my legs, it turned out quite patchy, but that was down to me not doing it properly. So a few weeks later, I tried it on my arms. And to my surprise it turned out amazingly well. No streaks, dark patches or harsh lines. And although I was quite pale at the time (before I came out of hibernation) lol, it still look really natural. You couldn't even tell I had any sort of tanning lotion on.

I have used this now for over two years I really like the colour & the price. I have tried other products but kept going back to this. You don't want to use too much just enough to smooth into your skin coating it lightly each time. I found it builds to a nice glow & the scent is not too fake tan-ish. If you keep using it over the winter months it will keep your tan topped up . It is good value & does what it says it will. I will continue to purchase & recommend to friends

This product gives the glow it says for sure! For me the medium to dark only really works in winter, however in summer I find it works to even out any tan lines!

I use dove summer glow because I like how easy it is & the color it goes! However the one thing I can't stand about it is the smell haha so if they could change this I would love it!

This product is perfect for those just starting out with fake tan. It is easy to apply as it gradually builds up to a natural tan with no streaks. You can replace this as your moisturiser as it is hydrating. It does take a little bit longer to sink in than an average moisturiser but nothing to long. It is sooo cheap and easy to find at the supermarket which is a bonus. The only downside is the smell. I wasn't a fan of the smell and it tended to linger throughout the day, although this didn't stop me from using the product.

I use this in Winter when I want to have a nice glow but not look overly tanned. I will maybe use it two to three times a week to build a lovely natural tan. It smells nice and fresh when you first apply but the next day you can smell the fake tan. This product can take a while to absorb into your skin so make sure it is fully dry before putting clothing back on. Overall, nice natural results at an affordable price.
