Product Review Tuesday: Dove Energy Glow sucks!
Yet again I'm disappointed with a product I expected to perform only as good as the packaging said, nothing more. My utter hate goes to Dove Energy Glow. The packaging said:

Gradually Builds A Beautiful Summer Glow dovelinks believes that real beauty can be genuinely stunning. That's why Dove developed Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with subtle self-tanners. It gradually enhances and evens out your natural skin color, giving you a beautiful summer glow all year long. For great results after about one week, apply daily all over to gradually build a beautiful summer glow.


NOT! I hate it when people lie, and this makes me furious. Read my story girls:

I was really excited to try on this product, as it promised to have a nice smell, be really moisturizing and deliver a streak free summer glow. After a few uses I was pleased with the easiness of application, but learnt a lesson to wash my hands after doing one half of my body, because the lotion managed to develop rather unpleasant brown flecks between my fingers and under my fingernails.

After seven days I had no visible tan developed, but decided to use the Dove Energy Glow further, as it did moisturize nicely.

Than, after about 10 days of use my friend asked me what was that orange streak on my leg. And there it was: an ugly, orangy streak. With careful examination, I found a couple of other blotches of color and white skin all around. Yikes!

I stopped using the product, but it was not over yet between me and Dove tanning lotion: after each shower my skin would stain towels, with (otherwise not visible) tan coming off. It took a few exfoliations to get the orange blotches off, though.

To sum it up: I didn't get the beautiful summer glow, didn't get my skin enhanced and evened out, and I wasn't looking stunning. So, the packaging lied, plain and simple.

But, I'm not ready to give up tanning lotions, I want that tan and don't want to sunbathe or go to a salon! I'll just have to find a good lotion with self tanners. Any suggestions?
