Winter has only just started, but I’ve already discovered my favourite beauty product for the season.
New Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion is a great way to make summer’s tan last all winter long, without any hassle. Dove Summer Glow is not only a fantastic moisturiser that will keep your skin silky soft throughout the drying colder months, but it contains dihydroxyacetone, which gives deep and lasting colour. The formulation also contains erythrulose (a compound unique to Dove Summer Glow) which improves the hue of the colour – banishing that nasty yellowish fake tan shade some products deliver.
While all that technical stuff is important and makes it easy to achieve and maintain a streak free tan, what really has me sold is Summer Glow’s scent. Developed by one of the world’s leading perfume houses, the fragrance was specially created to mask that unpleasant fake tan odour and it smells gooood!
If you want your skin to continue to glow despite the cooler weather then it’s worth working this product into your routine. I’m in the habit of applying it every day after my shower – it only takes a couple of minutes to absorb into my skin, so it’s not like you have to wait around shivering for it to dry!
It takes between 3-6 days for the colour to build up (although I noticed a difference after just two days) and it’s easy to control the depth of tan you achieve by how often you use it. Dove Summer Glow comes in two formulations – fair to normal skin and normal to darker skin – to help make it easy to achieve results suitable for your skin.
The only thing to remember when using it is to make sure you wash your hands – a gold glow is good, but golden palms are not!
