I love this product! It is so easy to apply and actually leaves you with a nice gradual tan. I apply 2 coats before i go to bed and i wake up with a nice summer tan that lasts a few days. so easy to use and so cheap!

Tips: Make sure you wash your hands after!!!
A body lotion that adds a hint of colour, so it gradually builds up to a nice looking tan that is easy to maintain with just another application of lotion. Simple and effective. Smells good, different to fake tan which is always a plus. It's a nice body lotion and absorbs well without being greasy.
This was my holy grail tanner, I used it daily, loved it, had the most natural looking tan. That was a few years ago, just recently I bought it again and it just doesn't give me the same colour. I don't know if it's me or the lotion but it just doesn't look smooth and natural on me any more. It seems a bit more orange than it used to be. I'm a little sad because it was such a perfect match for me but not anymore. I think it may be better on someone with a bit of a base tan to start with.
Tips: Make sure you have been exfoliating in the weeks leading up to application, don't expect to exfoliate once and then apply a nice even tan.
I picked this gradual tanner up on holiday a while a go to help increase my holiday tan without it looking unnatural. I didn't really find it added much colour at all which was disappointing as all my previous gradual tanners had done so quite well.
As a lotion it is nice and smooth on the skin, which I wouldn't expect any less from Dove. But unfortunately it felt more like I was using just a body lotion rather than a gradually tanning body lotion.
I did like the bottle it came in as it had a nice secure lid and was made of reasonably solid plastic. The packaging colour choice also did a good job at implying the product would product a natural tan as oppose to very bronze fake tan looking packaging that some brands use.
I would not repurchase since I didn't find that it did what it said it would.
I used this back in high school and picked it up again last summer to try again and was really impressed! To begin with I will add that I only use this on my upper body/arms as I prefer a tanning mousse for a deeper than on my legs, if I have an event on the weekend that I want to look tan for I will apply this moisturizer every night for the week leading up to it, otherwise I apply couple of nights or so just to give my skin a bit of colour and not leave me so pasty in the summer months! I apply with my hands as I would any moisturizer and I am always left with a natural, non streaky tan that I have even been complimented on. The only two things I dislike about the product would be the strong smell (not unpleasant but just very potent!) and the bottle (a pump would be a lot easier as I'm often left with a greasy bottle!) Overall a product I will continue to use and for under $10 is great value.
Tips: Wash your hands thoroughly after applying!
This product performed fairly well, definitely requires everyday use for maximum results. produced a nice natural looking tan that I was quite pleased with.
Tips: Use this product as a top up for your instant tan, will work wonders.
Good product to give you a tanned looked without having to be out in the sun. I found it builds up.with frequent use.
Tips: Wash hands well and i blend in around feet with damp flanel
absolutely love this product, I tend to buy it in the summer season between december-feb as I think thats the best season to be wearing the amazing product.
It comes in a tall quite large bottle. easy to squeeze out product. The scent is quite strong but nice when applied on skin.
The product applies nicely onto skin giving a nice layer of coverage, it makes your skin look immaculent, glowing, shiny and a nice natural look
I purchased this in preparation for the upcoming summer season and was honestly so surprised an happy to find something at this amazing of a price. I bought it at kmart for 9.30 and used it twice and within the week you could already see a difference. The product itself doesn't really have any colour to it so at first I wasn't sure how dark it would be. You definitely get a gradual tan which I quite like as it doesn't make your fake tan look 'fake'. It also feels like a regular moisturiser so you could just use it as that once a week if you wanted to just add a natural glow to your body for summer.
Tips: Rub it in real well and make sure it is otherwise you'll get streaks. Also wash your hands with soap straight after
I use this from time to time on my legs during summer. I am quite pale so I much prefer a gradual tan to a fake tan. It defiantly does do what it is meant to. You don’t look orange or streaky. It apples quite thick and does take some time to dry which is a downside but it is quicker than fake tan and you don’t have to worry about it rubbing on your clothes. Not a huge fan of the smell though.
Tips: Wash your hands afterwards as it does leave a slight mark if you don’t
I've been buying this on and off for years and one bottle lasts ages!
Packaging is simple and easy to hold. Like the flip top, how you can have it upside down so the product goes to the bottom.
When I use it I make sure I exfoliate first. The first 1 or 2 applications I squirting some in my hand, squirt a bit of my normal moisturiser in my hand and mix it to make it less concentrated. I start above my ankles on my shin, rub around and around and spread around the back of my calf. Then I rub my hand down my foot on knee. It stops that uneven look showing up. Do my thigh the same way working upwards. Then rub my hand over my knee again.
The fragrance is ok. You still notice that wee bit of fake tan stuff but no where near as bad as some I've used. The following day I apply the same way with extra moisturiser, if I've missed any areas which I don't normally you have the chance to fix it.
This leaves your skin feeling soft and has a lovely glow. As its the darker one, depending on the look you can apply everyday or once a week. It's not sticky and apply well and soaks in really well
