Summer Revived Medium to Dark Gradual Tanning Lotion For a Sun-Kissed Glow Self Tan Body Lotion Tanning Lotion For All Skin Types, 200 ml (Pack of 1)

I have pale and sensitive skin.I bought the" medium to dark " tube, as that is what I normally buy from Garnier.I don't look to get a dark tan, and with the Garnier one it takes a while to develop.I usually do the following;Squeeze a big dollop if regular moisturiser and then squeeze a similar size dollop of tanning cream, so half & half.I have been doing this for many years as the earlier products could lead to streaking, and this method makes it even, no streaks, but takes a few days to get the light to medium tan I am looking for.Results/ coverage:So...I did the same with this Dove " medium to dark" tanning cream, half & half with regular moisturiser, and wow!The very next day delivery had what I would call my maximum level of tan, nice and even but full blast, even though I had diluted it with regular moisturiser.I would imagine if you did it again the next day I would be very dark brown, which I didn't do as for my complexion that would be daft.Colour:It is a nice brown tan, not orange or yellow, and works very fast .I have had 2 showers since, and only added regular untanning normal moisturiser and it hasn't faded yet.If I used it neat or did again the next day I think it would go from golden tan to rich dark tan which would really suit a lot of people, just not me.If you have a fair complexion like me, that s is a really good colour, without yellow or orange, but a very fast and even result. I would recommend doing half & half and if you decide you want to go darker simply do it again the next day. Just make sure you scrub your skin that is to be tanned before applying, I just use a facial scrub gel all over, rinse dry and then after the shower I apply my half & half.No streaks, no patches, no dark bits on the knees or elbows.I go a little lighter on my face as that sees the sun anyway, so do 1 part tanning can e to 2 parts of my normal face cream.For the rest of me I use 1 part tanning cream and 1 part Normal body moisturiser.Sensitive skin:Also, I have had no issues with irritation, that I get from some products.Greasy/ oily residue:No.It isn't oily, which some tanning lotions are, some leave you with an oily or sticky film the next day, this didn't.Scent:with my method of half and half there is very little scent, but what is there is a nice nutty hint not that chemical almost tobacco scent some have.Overall I am really pleased.As I seem to only need one coat of half & half this tube will last a long time.

I went for the Dove Derma Spa Self Tan after reading many reviews of other similar products. I'm the kind of person that researches the life out of everything before I buy. Getting a natural-looking tan was the overriding thing for me rather than price, but this lotion ticks both boxes and is great value.I would agree that when applying, it does smell quite pleasant. I did notice however that when it is fully dried, and certainly by the next morning, the usual 'biscuit' smell that you get with these products was there. No big deal though as it fades after a shower.You don't need to use a tanning mitt, but I would strongly recommend one. Even with great care using the mitt, I still got small staining of some fingertips and knuckles. I picked one up off Amazon for less than £3.The tan is a great shade and was darker than I expected on first application. You put it on and it is virtually invisible to begin with, but I was surprised at how quickly the tan developed in the hours afterwards.I did make one mistake (which I have now learnt from!). I am male, with facial hair, and applied some of this to the face as well. The shade looks lovely and even on the skin, except for the stubble area which was patchy, and stained some of the hair.This basically made it look a bit ginger in places and very hard to scrub off! Still, that's not the fault of the product, more me getting carried away applying the lotion everywhere! Just something to be aware of.Give it a go! You will be pleased with the results.

Brilliant moisturiser. Really good colour which I was unsure of at first but it goes on well. I’m pale skinned and would usually choose a lighter gradual tanner but with the medium to dark I didn’t have to build up over a few times, it actually showed a good colour after just one use. Have to be careful with how you apply to not leave streaks, as there is not guide colour like with other tanners, it is easy to accidentally leave a streak but easily fixed with a second layer.It does smell quite strong of that “fake tan” smell, but I didn’t mind that.It’s much more moisturising than a normal moose tan.

Works well, gives me a lovely glow like I have been away in the sun

I have been using self-tan in one form or another since I was 14 and I’m now 33.This is hands down my best go-to tanning product for a number of reasons.▪️The scent is nice and mild. It has no ‘biscuity’ smell to it.▪️It doesn’t stain the bed sheets.▪️It moisturises at the same time so is an effective 2 in 1 product.▪️The price point is good.▪️Easy to apply and as long as you can see that you have covered all your skin in the moisturiser, it is completely streak free.▪️It has a lovely natural golden colour which you can build on if you so wish.▪️It dries nice and quickly so when it’s cold, you don’t have to stand around for long before you can get dressed.▪️It fades away nice and evenly so there is no tiger bread skin 😂Last but by no means least, it actually makes my legs change colour!! Most regular self tanners know that often, your legs don’t go as dark as the rest of your body but with this tan, my legs look the same colour as the rest of me 🥳!I have very fair skin and I use the medium to dark which is still very natural on me. When I go abroad, I will not be without this. I don’t tan naturally and in all honesty, I am not into lying in the sun, but after two weeks in the sun, it’s a little embarrassing to still be as white as when I stepped off the plane. So every other evening, I gently exfoliate before applying another coat which dries even more quickly with the heat and within minutes, I’m ready to get dressed and do my face and hair for a nice evening out and all the while, my tan is developing nicely ready for the next day!

Like Many People I Spend A Lot of Time Indoors, I hate looking like casper the friendly ghost, so after seeing the advert I thought I'd give it a go.Despite being a well known brand I wasn't expecting much to be honest. Put it on all over no difference, just thought oh well only cost £3.50. Woke up the next day and I couldn't believe the difference. Second application and back to work. People asked me if I had been on holiday, I got told that I looked younger. People desperate to know what I had done as it was such a big change. As a typical dinosaur who literally just showers and shaves I made the mistake of rubbing it into my scalp as I wear my hair short, it actually got rid of my grey hairs! Quicker, cheaper, more convenient and safer than a sunbed.Probably took less than 5 minutes. Bottle probably lasts about 2 weeks once you get the colour you want, probably only need to use it every 3 days. Only negative is that I'd like it to be darker, however it looks natural and is easy to maintain.

I bought this with a hope to keep my summer tan on for longer. I received it on Wednesday and today is Friday. Applied it on Wednesday night, Thursday morning and Thursday night just a small amount like a regular moisturiser and Wow I can see the difference! It looks so natural and doesn't smell like usual gradual tanners. It didn't stain my sheets either, which is a huge plus cause my bedding is white 😁It has a nice texture and it smells lovely.***Update*** [photo no.3]It's the next summer now and got myself a nice supply of these 😊 The only thing I have to point out is that I'm actually more light to medium rather than medium to dark and found if I use this without being at least a tiny bit tanned, it looks a little fake. So I have to get at least a little sun to then use this on top of that and it will develop nice, naturally looking tan 😁I prefer this to any fake tans (and I tried a few). It's really hassle free.

Pleasant scent, no streaks but looks orange when you try to build it up.

This is a great and healthier alternative for a tanning bed. It's an easy way to have a ''sun-kissed-look'' for someone who is bald like me and living in western Europe with harse winters. You don't need to apply tons of it and I would suggest you apply with a few fingers and rub it lightly in with those few fingers just to prevent to get tanned hands :)

Ho provato sia la versione per pelli chiare che questo per pelli più scure e in entrambi i casi mi sono trovata molto bene.Ho la pelle che al sole si abbronza molto e diventa molto scura ma non amo stare a cuocermi e quindi il risultato è che sono naturalmente bianca!Questa crema è perfetta per quanto mi riguarda perché non macchia affatto (ovviamente faccio lo scrub prima di applicarla) e lascia un colore naturale ma che si nota dopo circa una notte.Certo non è un abbronzatura caraibica ma almeno toglie il pallore e dona un colorito più luminoso.

I love that it is gradually tanning my skin with lovely and soft scent. It is quite expensive though.

It initially smells good but after a few hours it starts to smell like the usual tanning cream smell.It is also streaky, so needs to be careful during application. It left me looking more yellow than tan.
