I purchased Dove Summer glow a couple of weeks before a winter getaway to the Islands, so I didn't scare the locals with my beyond pale skin! I wasn't disappointed. Summer Glow was easily applied, I did it straight after my shower, glided on smoothly like a moisturiser I was careful to apply it evenly and avoiding build up on areas like elbows, ankles & knees. There wasn't an overpowering chemical smell with this either, only a slight hint of it after application but I suspect that's unavoidable with tanning products. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and the tan was a nice colouring, no oompa loompas here. I'm definitely using this again, and being available from supermarkets, and budget friendly price, it's a big hit in my books.

Tips: As with any tanning product, exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!
I love this! Most people would say that brown/darker skins do not need a tan but why not give it an extra bit of glow, in my opinion :). Well I used the medium-dark dove summer glow to do just that. I do go quite dark during summer but liked the fact that this gave a natural glow to my skin. The scent is lovely, not overpowering. It's not sticky and applies evenly.
Tips: The golden rule about using tanning products, is that you need to exfoliate first. It smoothes your skin, therefore preps it before applying the tan. Only use during the day and allow to dry for a few minutes so that it does not rub onto your skin.
I did everything right yet I kept going orange. I gave it multiple chances but sadly it is just not for me. I guess I will just have to find other ways to go from white to tan! It did moisturise though?
Tips: Avoid areas like knees and ankles, the results are terrifying!
I have extremely pale skin and love a summer glow. When i first started using this product i used the 'fair to medium' shade and it was absolutely fine. However, i still wanted to be slightly tanner. So i tried out the 'medium to dark' one. It didn't make me look orange at all. It was a completely natural looking 'summer glow'. Would recommend this product to anyone first trying out tanning. This product is great if you get a professional tan done and you just apply the Dove Summer Glow as a moisturiser daily after a shower. It makes the tan last so much longer and doesn't show the patchiness as the professional tan starts to fade.
Tips: Make sure to moisturise all dry patches on your skin beforehand so that the tan doesn't cling to them.
I always have one of the Dove summer glow. It both makes your skin smooth and gives you a slight tan that looks super natural without the tan lines. The only thing that I don't like about it is the smell .. but it does disappear very quickly and if you mix it with a nice smelling body lotion you won't even notice ! :)
Tips: Remember to clean in-between your fingers after you use it so the area doesn't get a strange colour.
I keep going back to this, I really like how easy it is to use. I use it daily and you can build on it to get a deeper tan. It looks so natural and you don't get any streaking.
Have purchased this a few times. As long as you don't use too much it leaves a nice light tan, although it can build up and be streaky or splotchy if not spread right.
It's easy to find and afforable (available in pretty much every supermarket and the like) so is a good entry level product.
The only real negative I found was it's a bit thick and can be hard to get out of the bottle.
I'm two sided with this product it dose deffinatly give you a summer glow but applying this stuff evenly isn't as easy as it seams I mean you put it on like any other moisturizer but this one tans an well I find every time iv used it I come out with blochy ankles wrists and nice orange stains on my clothes. I would probly not buy this product.
Tips: Apply a small amount you don't wanna look like a orangatang... Or a dalmation :)
If you're looking for a quick and easy tan the Dove Summer Glow is the product for you! Its so affordable and it is literally sold anywhere! I purchase this from my local super market :) I was really happy with my results! I would apply the tan before I went to bed and then in the morning I would be so happy with the results! I find after a week or so the tan will start to go patchy so I would remove it and then re apply :) the colour was great for me and my friends would comment on how tan I looked!! You either love or hate the smell of this product - I love it :) I recommend you giving the Dove Summer Glow a go!
Tips: Apply normal moisturiser to parts of your body that are dry before applying this :)
I've always been super nervous about any kind of tanning product as I have quite fair skin and hints of ginger in my hair so thought I could so easily end up bright orange! I still haven't ventured to any full on fake tans but I love love love Dove Summer Glow. I use it daily for a few weeks and it builds up a gradual tan that looks so natural! I've never had any issues with going orange and find that it's a great moisturiser as well...bonus! My only downside is that I can never get the last bits out of the bottle, this is a seriously life saving product for pale old me.
Tips: Don't expect instant results - it does take a few weeks to build up.
