I tried this last summer in order to "deepen up" my tan. But the downsides are overshadowing the fact that it did give me nice tan. I got a lot of bums after a while on my arms and thighs. This is...

I actually really liked this product at first. It gave me a nice subtle tan and didn't smell as awful as some other self tanners out there. However I just cannot stand the smell anymore. It's so...

This is the worst self-tanner I have ever tried! The smell is really strong, the colour turns out orange, the cream sits on the skin; never really absorbs and leaves you feeling so greasy. It's...

I bought this product as a lotion with the benefits of a self tan. It didn't do what I expected of a lotion and by skin was no different after a week - not softened, a little tanned, and smelling...

I love dove energy glow! It didn't turn me orange like other self tanners or bronzers, the more I put on, the more I tanned :) very happy with this product.

I use the med/dark one all the time, it's my favourite gradual tanner I've tried. It dries so quickly & develops into a lovely colour overnight after just 1 application - I don't need to build it...
