Fake tan is the only way to achieve a healthy colour without exposing yourself to the sun and doing irreparable damage to your skin.

Dove Summer Glow is one of the more affordable fake tan options around. It mixes a small amount of self-tanning agent with a luscious moisturiser to give you soft skin with a hint of colour.

The lotion can be applied daily to build your tan gradually and is available in two varieties: one for fair to normal skin, and one for normal to darker skin. The colour looks extremely natural and doesn’t streak like some other self-tanners tend to.

Another bonus is that there is no fake tan smell - some other tanning products on the market have a distinctive smell that lingers throughout the day.

Dove Summer Glow won’t rub off on your sheets or clothes, and best of all it’s an extremely affordable way to get a healthy summer tan all year around. It’s my favourite of all the gradual moisturisers.
