If I were still in Malta, I would have already got myself a mini tan. Good enough not to feel embarrassingly pale on my first proper day at the beach. Yet, now that I spend most of my time living and working in two countries where hours of sunshine last much less that your average Taylor Swift relationship, I sometimes find it hard to tell if I'm looking at myself or at Casper in the mirror.
In order to alleviate my pale distress, I headed out to Boots last week to repurchase a tanning agent product I've used before. After making use of the Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion a couple of times before, and testing it thorougly over the past few days, I decided to share it with you readers who are currently craving some colour on your skin.
Dove market the product as a moisturising lotion that grants a fresh, sun-kissed look. The tanning agent is very subtle and works on enhancing your skin colour and adding that extra glow. The recommended application is in circular motions in order to guarantee an even tan. With its essential oils and natural nutrients, the lotion works on nourishing the skin below its first layers.
I don't have as much experience with tanning products to tell you that this is the best product on the market, but since I'm satisfied with its performance, I'm going to recommend it. What I like, most of all, is that even though the tanning agent produces subtle results, the overall look is noticeable without looking fake (or Snooki-like). The finish of the result is so natural that the likelihood of 'going orange' is very, very low. I also like its nourishing qualities: it's one of those really good 2-in-1 products.
I feel like I have to stress that you shouldn't get dressed until the lotion is completely absorbed or else you risk staining your garments horribly. Luckily, the absorption time of the product is quite short so don't worry you won't need to spend 50 minutes for it to dry before wearing your bath robe. Also, please make sure to wash your hands after application or else you'll end up with your palms looking as if they spent at least 30 minutes in the toaster.
