Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion (Medium to Dark Skin) 250mL

Generally I’m not into self-tanning or any sort of tanning but recently I was going on a cruise and decided my lily white legs might blind the other passengers. So, I took the plunge and decided to try the Dove Summer Glow Gradual Self Tan Body Lotion because I had read a number of positive reviews. \n \nI started preparing my skin three weeks out from the cruise by using an exfoliator, paying particular attention to my knees, and thoroughly moisturising my legs every day, swapping to the Summer Glow in the third week. I chose the fair-to-medium shade because all I wanted was a summery glow on my pale skin. \n \nI couldn’t believe how easy this was to achieve that glow. As I applied the lotion each day I could see the gradual build-up - from just a hint of colour to ... MoreGenerally I’m not into self-tanning or any sort of tanning but recently I was going on a cruise and decided my lily white legs might blind the other passengers.

As I applied the lotion each day I could see the gradual build-up - from just a hint of colour to lightly tanned legs. The colour was perfect with no hint of orange or fakeness. Plus, the colour didn’t rub off onto my clothes. \n \nMy summery glow was so natural looking that I will be using this product again before and during my next cruise in July. The Dove Summer Glow Gradual Self Tan Body Lotion is such an affordable way to achieve a natural looking tan, and I can’t believe I haven’t used this product previously. \n \n

I do love how instantly this does warm up my naturally red and white skin, but I do find that it gets streaky on my legs even when my skin is moisturised and I apply in circular motions. Maybe it happens when I itch my legs, if it is that it’s annoying because that doesn’t happen with regular instant tan. An issue too is that it can look grainy, this happens mostly on my inner thighs so maybe it’s due to chafing? But it makes me look like I have the texture of strawberry skin in a brown colour which is not great

Dove Summer Glow tanning body lotion is a game changer for achieving a natural looking tan. This lotion not only moisturizes your skin but also gradually builds a subtle, sun kissed glow. It's perfect for those who want a gradual tan without the harmful effects of the sun. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated. Plus, it has a pleasant scent that's not overpowering. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a natural looking tan all year round.

I always use this product when it's coming into the summer months as works so well and very impressed with it. It's a lovely thick creamy texture but sinks into skin well and a lovely natural and subtle fragrance. As long as you smooth it well into skin and all areas it doesn't leave any tan marks or stains either. After a couple of uses I started with very fair skin to a natural glow which depending on colour ypifw after you can use daily to keep building up, otherwise naturally fades.

Coming into winter in Australia, I don't get as much sun as I'd like to. So I'm using the Dove summer glow medium to dark skin to make my skin glow. I'm trying out the face contour trick. As U can C in my video it didn't make a difference with just one coat.

U can put as many layers on but between layers plz make sure the coat b4 is dry or U will have streaks nothing worse. So with the perfect blend of moisturizing goodness ... MoreComing into winter in Australia, I don't get as much sun as I'd like to.

Unlike other self Tanner's U now that smell I'm not sure if you no what I mean but usually there's this unpleasant smell from self Tanner's an I really don't like it that much it stops me using Tanner's all together but after trying dove summer glow 🌟 there's no off putting smell and 8t actually smells nice an inviting an I like it .

This product is my go to subtle tan. I'm dark skinned anyway so sometimes a deep or dark tan just looks too much on me 😄 Its not as in your face such as other tans on the market so it's great if you want a natural look especially on your face. I find using tanning mousse or instant tans too much when I use on my face 🙈 I've used this for years and it goes on so easy like a moisturiser. It's also white like a moisturiser 😊 Only thing is wash your hands straight after applying as it'll leave residue and make your hands a dark colour over the space of a day. There's a slight tan smell but smells OK tbh. It's a gradual tan so will keep working throughout the day 😊 use daily to keep it topped up.

One thing I have noticed is that if I use on my legs which are quite dry anyway, it doesn't keep them moisturised which is why I've given 4 star. All in all a great product from dove and I'd highly recommend it

I've used a variety of tans over the past few years, and this is by far the best. not only does it give out the most even, natural tan.. it is so easy to apply and doesn't CRACK OFF!! ladies, if you're using foam tans/ spray tans such as Bondi sands... you're doing it wrong! Tans along those lines always last only a few days and always tend to crack off and you always have to scrub it off which is a pain.. I have never had this problem with dove summer glow. it's as though it just fades off naturally without having to scrub it off.. it is literally amazing!! although it's a gradual tanner and works as a moisturiser, it seems to be hard to apply and that you might miss a few spots, leaving your tan uneven and streaky. WRONG! it literally works like magic. I sear you ... MoreI've used a variety of tans over the past few years, and this is by far the best. not only does it give out the most even, natural tan.. it is so easy to apply and doesn't CRACK OFF!! ladies, if you're using foam tans/ spray tans such as Bondi sands... you're doing it wrong!

WRONG! it literally works like magic. I sear you could intentionally miss a spot and it would still turn out even. plus you don't even need to exfoliate beforehand. well you can if you wish, but it works fine without it. smells so nice also.. have no idea what everyone's complaining about... me and my brother use this tan regularly and we love it! being Greek, we have the olive skin tone and dove summer glow just tops it off. I use fair/medium but I'm considering purchasing medium/dark as the one I have now tends to take a few days to actually show a difference, but I must admit, it's so worth the wait! im quite fair skinned, and this is the perfect tan for anyone who's looking for a natural, even, easy to apply, quick working, super affordable, hassle free tan! 110% reccommend!

I bought this product a month before my ball as I wanted to gradually achieve a deep yet natural-looking glowy tan in winter. I loved this product as I didn't have to worry about having a streaky tan, having to wash off the cream within an hour or having to worry about the scent when using it. The scent is quite tasteful and vanilla-y which goes quite well with my perfumes and outfits. would recommend this product to anyone wanting a bit of a healthy-looking and creamy nourishing feeling to their skin

Excellent value

Doves gradual self tan body lotion is just that. I use this one perhaps every four days to increase my tan and another lighter branded tanner in between. I feel they work well together, on alternate days. It is a thicker consistency and although not an overpowering scent perhaps just a little stronger than I would prefer. I have fair skin and the medium to dark shade works best for me, just gives me a nice glow without streaks. It is quite moisturising which means it can be used all year round. In the winter I still apply perhaps every three days. Love it is Australian made and dermatologically tested. No mitt required, just wash hands afterwards.

Fast, buildable and easy to use

I've purchased this product with the intention of getting an instant tan without all the fuss and hassle that you have to go through with other tanning products. It went on pretty easy and blended in very nicely, within a few hours the tan began to develop and looked pretty darn good! My skin felt nice and moisturized and the tan did not appear too orange and didn't apear fake at all.What I love about this product is how forgiving and buildable it is. The shade I've purchased was medium - deep and it didn't turn out too dark on my light-medium skin, even after 3 applications! Definitely recommend it for those who want an easy, customisable and fast tanning process. The more you apply, the darker it gets.Only cons that I have is the smell it leaves and the ... MoreI've purchased this product with the intention of getting an instant tan without all the fuss and hassle that you have to go through with other tanning products.

Apart from that, can't fault it.
