    Love Dove Summer Glow I only have to apply once a week as I have medium - dark skin, its very natural looking. I usually put it on an hour before I go to bed and it never streaks.

    i am pretty pale and was finding it very hard to find a fake tan that wasn't too dark. i bought some Dove Summer Glow after my sister said it was good on her skin and was generally pleased. i would recommend it but a tip for putting it on is, use a sock. it gives an easier coverage and makes it look a lot more natural.

    We've recently swapped over from Johnsons tanning cream to Dove Summer Glow and I can definitely say, it's far superior! I apply it every 2-3 days to my face and upper body and every 3-5 on my legs. It gives an even tone and makes you look healthy.You won't go orange or have streaks. I do find it a little sticky in the folds of my arms when drying, but I can cope with that. I haven't used a sunbed for over 6 years now, so these creams are definitely worth using.

    Dove Summer Glow doesn't have that icky smell most self tanners have. Its easy to apply and gives me the opportunity to decide how tan I wanna look. Since I am very fair I would look silly in a dark tan after just 2 days so its great. This summer I will go for the dark-medium on my legs since they tend to look really pasty. lol Leaves no marks on clothes or sheets.

    Dove Summer Glow is really great! I use it in between spray tans and in winter when I need a little bit of colour. Self tanning does not affect your health in anyway, unlike sun beds and sun baking. It comes in 3 different shades which makes it great for anybody and you can pick your darkness. Easy to apply! Veerry great value for money comes in a large container, doesn't run out quickly.... and of course it smells a bit, but you will find that most false tans smell, Dove Summer Glow is not as b ...

    I have used Dove Summer Glow a couple of time and keep it as an emergency in the cupboard. It takes lots of product to even get a milky tan and needs at least 7 days continuous application to get a fair colour and this is with the medium to dark tan, by which point it's starting to go patchy from the first application!

    Dove Summer Glow is fantastic. I'm strawberry blonde, fair skinned and sometimes look a bit white (I'm Scottish). I have tried this for several different parties, weddings etc. and I use the light to fair, and honestly you cannot go wrong with this. You will get a healthy looking tan, and when it fades just re-apply. Honestly the price is great as well, try it, and I am sure you will not be disappointed. Use on all areas of the body, face, arms, legs, thighs. Be sure and blend in watching ...

    I use this product in between xen tan or st tropez. i use the medium to dark, and it takes really well to my skin after just one application. you must keep moisterising after so i doesnt come off patchy, and it can be abit whiffy. but thumbs up!!

    i love this tan as its very easy to apply and as long as you exfoliate well before use its generally streak free. make sure you do any hair removal 24hours before applying the moisturiser tan as i found it can irritate skin following shaving. the only downside is that skin feels sticky for a few hours after which makes you worry that it will rub off on clothes and go patchy. my advice is: applying a very thin layer, wait half an hour before dressing, wear loose clothing, even go outdoors and all ...

    Dove Summer Glow - I had never used a fake tan of any kind before so decided to try dove summer glow as I was going on holiday and didn't want to look too pale. I am of a pale-medium skin tone but wanted a more noticeable tan so went for the medium to dark. I exfoliated my skin a little before (exfoliating gloves- 99p), moisturised 'problem areas' like my ankles, knees, elbows etc and then applied evenly to my skin. I found the cream absorbed quickly. When I woke up in the morning I had a nice s ...

    In general it's one of the best fake tan products I would recommend if you're on a small budget. Fake tan can be quite expensive but if you're not one for spending loads of money on it this is by far the best! And if you have quite sensitive skin to fake tan this doesn't leave you with any itchy skin/rash etc!

    Dove Summer Glow is a great product overall -- particularly as I purchased it for a pound from a certain well-known store - I believe the normal retail value is considerably higher!!!

    I have always been too scared to use a self tanner because I have seen how ridiculous some people look. After finding this moisturiser, Dove Summer Glow, and the fact is comes on gradually I took the plunge and I find it great. Within the first day I could see the base colour coming along and it was nice and natural. The only down side like with a lot of other tanners is it can take quite some time to dry in large areas and can be bit sticky but for the price you cant go wrong! I got it on spec ...

    For me, this product does what it says on the box. I used this for about 2 weeks every day and really really noticed a natural looking tan emerging. I had a big family BBQ to attend last weekend and wanted a nice tan to go with the dress I was going to wear. So I decided to do double layers when applying the cream - in 2 days I had a lovely tan to go with my dress! Although this tanner does have the biscuity smell many tanners tend to have, it makes up for it in natural building tanner, and soft ...

    My cousin uses this product, Dove Summer Glow and if she wants a deeper darker looking tan she applies the lotion and uses a hair dryer to blow dry it !!

    All in all I really enjoy using this tanner. I started using it daily, all over, about a month ago. After just a couple of days I can recall noticing a distinct change in my skin colour. It really does what it says on the box! - It builds a gradual, natural looking tan. Not only does it give your skin a healthy glow, it moisturises really well too. I'd recommend this product to anyone. - It's most definitely worth the money!
