Dove Summer Glow Tanning Lotion

No other product beats it! – I have been using this since year 10! (Now 24). I have used many other tanning products in between but every single one makes my skin look dry / green / or have HORRIBLE dark pores. This is the only product that makes my legs look so even and smooth. Here are tips that I've done to makeit look the best for me. 1. Exfoliate wrists, knees, elbows,… Read more

and pits 2. Shaving right before with this one still doesnt make dark pores for me (win!) 3. Apply a small amount of fragrance free moisturizer before handall over evenly. this makes the application more even as its level of tan depends on your skins dryness. 4. Apply a heavy amount of gragrance free moisturizer on knees, wrists, palms, elbows, and pits. 5. Apply in front of a fan or a cold room. This makes your pores more closed. Dont use frozen items as ive seen people do before as the residue just makes your skin wet meaning an uneven application (simply drying it will remove the previously applied cream). 6. Apply tan and really take your time rubbing it in. I used circular motions but im sure it didnt make a sidderence. Make sure an even amount is all over. 7. If you want a darker tan, apply again after approx 30 mins 8. Wait until the tan has soaken in to wear clothing. It 9. Do not have skin touching skin, itll create sweat = uneven tan

By far the best tan I've ever used – 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… Read more

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 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!

Hate the smell. Love the tan! – The consistency is quite thick, but easy to apply an even coverage. I have never had a problem with streaking, but I make sure I THOROUGHLY exfoliate before each use. I love that it even fades like a natural tan! After the first application, I awake with a gorgeous GLOW! After 2 applications, it's perfect and really accentuates my natural yellow… Read more

undertones.Unfortunately, there ARE downsides to this wonderful tanning cream.

1) I have to wait HALF AN HOUR or MORE to put clothes on, as it takes FOREVER to dry and leaves me feeling sticky even HOURS after application.

2) When I first rub the cream on my skin, the smell is rather lovely...SO LOVELY, in fact...but after about an hour or so, the scent turns into the most dreadful, STRONGEST, pungeant tanning smell! And it LINGERS until you wash it off! Sometimes, for DAYS! It's SO strong, oh my goodness! I get quite embarrassed going out with this cream on, so the best thing to do is use it before bed, wait half an hour for it to soak into my skin and then just wash it off in the morning.

Overall, it's is a wonderful self tanner and highly recommend it! The best I've used so far in terms of colour, no streaks, quality and price. Easy to apply without streaking, Inexpensive, Colour is literally the colour of GLOWING skin, Colour lasts for ages and fades like a real tan After a couple of hours, THAT PUNGEANT SCENT! It also takes forever to dry, so I'm left naked for ages after application.

Safe tan – I love the ease of this moisturiser it leaves a lovely glow and a great tan. I have many young friends who now use this as a safe tan and don’t lie in the sun all day. Show details

Natural looking, easily applied – Such an easy product to use (remember to wash your hands after applying) providing great natural looking coverage when applied over a couple of days to reach your desired coverage, by not applying to heavily at each application makes easier to avoid mistakes like streaking. * Make certain your skin is absolutely dry prior to application. * For about an hour afterwards I try not to sit or lay down * Don't be heavy handed. Show details

Make sure to moisturize before putting on the tanning lotion!! – When I first used it the tan was a bit patchy on my legs bc it clings to dry skin but then the next time I used it I moisturized my legs first and then applied it and it looked way more even! also make sure to let the tanning lotion soak in for about 30mins before putting on clothes. Show details

RASH!! – Do not use this product. I do not have sensitive skin whatsoever and this product has given me a horrific rash all over both arms that I cannot shift. Dr’s appointment tomorrow to hopefully try and sort this out! Furious. Show details

Avoid at all cost – DO NOT USE - I used this for approx 10 years, they have in the past year changed the formula and it now causes an itchy rash on areas used, similar to the experiences of others. Pay more and use something else, would never buy again. Show details

Tried medium dark, as I have dark skin but white winter legs. Applied daily for 4 days to get a good colour. Easy to apply, no mess, washes off hands. As a bonus my legs are smooth & no dry patches. Show details

This tanning lotion does the job! – Bought a bottle of this stuff on sale for $5.99 at a pharmacy and really like it! Maybe it's just me, but I like the smell, even once on my skin. It's not greasy and absorbs well after a few minutes, and most importantly, it works! It gives a natural looking tan, and as a big bonus, I don't look like an orange US President-elect!!! It's… Read more

moisturising, so I didn't have to exfoliate much. Just a light scrub with a loofah on my knees, elbows and toes. You need about 3 applications, so your tan develops over 3 days. I'm fair skinned and went for the medium to dark formula. Once you achieve the desired darkness, it keeps for several days though I'd reapply it every 3 to 4 days to maintain it. No dark patches and no regrets! Who knew?!

Blisters after using it – I have used Summer Glow many times before no problem. Bought a new container of 3 weeks ago dated240723. I got severe blisters on top of feet and some on my neck. Only used it on these areas. It then became super itchy. After nearly 3 weeks top of feet are still red and sore, going to Doctor on 3rd January, could not get in any earlier. Show details

Gives great colour, but smelly – Gives a fast, dark tan, but felt very greasy & has that fake tan smell. Even when you wash it off, you still stink a bit. Tan only lasts about 3 days, so great product if you want a quick tan before a special occasion. Show details

Not impressed – Didn't like the self tan moisturizer, it washes of in the bath and if you wear white clothes it stains them. Would definitely not recommend this product to anyone. Very disappointed. Show details

Great product for a tan – I bought summer glow tanning lotion to try will be buying again for a tan all year round love it its easy to use and i dont get greasy or sticky Show details

Love love love! – Easy and quick application, melts into the skin. Apply straight after a shower. The consistency is good, minimal smell, isn’t sticky and dries relatively fast. Not only does it moisturise the skin well but it gives you a lovely even natural glow. I am very pale, but use the medium to dark. I feel like it compliments my skin very well and doesn’t look too over the top like a dark fake tan would.  Show details

I never thought I’d be this impressed – Due to walking often, my arms, face and neck have a lovely natural colour but my legs were lily white. This product was recommended by two friends and at the price I figured why not. Well, I am truly delighted. I’ve been applying it morning and night because I wanted a quick result. After four days my legs look almost the same colour as my arms. … Read more

Easy to apply, just like you would moisturiser. Make sure you apply in between your toes, not just across the top of your foot. I apply this first thing after showering so that by the time I’ve finished getting ready for work I can put on my work pants. I can’t recommend this product highly enough.

change packaging – I can't fault it except for the bottle that it comes in. I find it very hard to squeeze it out. Would be great if you could buy it in a pump ir tube Show details

Love this product, can't do summer without it! – Exfoliate & moisturise lightly well before applying, be sparing on elbows, ankles & wash hands afterwards. Gives a nice natural glow when used daily, I apply before bed & wake up perfectly tanned. Show details

This is a great product – I love this product. The only thing I find after application is that my skin feels very sticky. Am I'm applying too much,or too often? It's my favorite product at the moment too.. Show details

Love this gradual tanner. Easily buildable – I've been using this product for over 3 years now, and I keep coming back to it! Extremely natural, but also buildable if you want a darker tan. Just make sure to exfoliate beforehand and leave it on for about 20 minutes before wearing clothes. I normally apply right after a shower at night and by morning I have a beautiful natural glow. Show details

Such a great almost natural way of getting a safe tan! – So I have never been one to use moisturiser or fake tan but I figured before our trip to QLD I would start getting a tan to fade out the white. I use it all over my body and it doesn't feel oily or rough on skin. It's smooth and smells nice too. I started to use it straight after a shower as directed and applied it to a tanning mit then onto my… Read more

body. I started seeing results in just 2 days! It doesn't settle orange or that obvious fake tan colour, it really does give you a natural summer tan. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get a fake tan without the cost of going to a tanning salon. I've seen no streaks or blotches which is also another bonus! Definitely give it a shot!

Great for a first time user – This is the first tanning product I’ve ever used and am very happy with the results so far. I use it as a standard after shower all over moisturiser. It applies evenly, and stalls nice, and isn’t thick or sticky. You can see results of the layering within a few uses. Great as an introduction into tanning products Show details

Not great. Wont use again – I wanted to give this a go as had heard good reviews. I tried it on the weekend and sadly, I was pretty disappointed. Because it is clear you have no way of knowing if it is rubbed in or even etc. It smells the same as any other fake tan. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend it. Show details

I love it! – I absolutely love this product! Applies on perfectly and only takes 10 minutes and 20 minutes to dry! It's perfect for last minute tanning before going out when your skin is looking pale and dull! Would highly recommend to anyone who doesn't have the time to properly tan or doesn't like tan but wants a glow! Show details

Cheap, but does a great job – Not fancy packaging or advertising like some of the other brands you see on Instagram but this one has been around forever and people still buy it for a reason. It works! It builds a lovely natural glow and moisturisers at the same time. Also it’s cheap!

Amazing! – I loved using this product! It gave me such a nice tan, and it works very quickly. The only thing I dislike is the smell, but that issue is easily solvable. Quick tip: When applying tanning lotion, use a beauty blender! Then wash your hands with bar soap afterwards.
