Dove Self Tanning Lotions And Moisturizers

Everyone under the sun (except for those living under a rock) knows about the sun's damaging properties. Immediately, there is painful sunburn. Then years of exposure can lead to premature wrinkling, ugly skin spots, and, worst of all, dreaded skin cancer. Yet so many people still risk their health in pursuit of a healthy glow. Since a tan is one of the summer's most popular accessories, what's the best and safest route to becoming a bronzed beach babe?

Long gone are the days of orange tans from a can that left users a bit, well, unsatisfied, to say the least. Traditionally, self tanning lotions temporarily dye the top layer of the skin. The sunless tanning lotions of the 60s and 70s left much to be desired by a generation that slathered on baby oil mixed with iodine in pursuit of a deep brown tan. The newest breakthrough in self tanning lotions today is gradual tanners. Practically every major skin care company has come out with their own versions of gradual self tanning moisturizers. Dove is no exception. The new Dove self tanning products have the benefit of Dove's longtime reputation. Dove self tanning skin care products moisturize and cleanse, in addition to creating a darker complexion.

The Dove Energy Glow Collection is the skin care line that includes Dove self tanning products. Other moisturizing and cleansing products are also included in this line to ensure that Dove self tanning is a well rounded experience devoted to overall skin health, not just skin color.

One of the most popular Dove self tanning products is the Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer. Available for fair-medium or medium-dark skin tones, these self tanning lotions include a gradual self tanning agent that subtly darkens the skin over time. The result is a natural, not drastic-looking tan. This Dove self tanning product comes in an 8.5 fl. ounce bottle.

Since the face contains softer, more delicate skin (especially around the eyes), there is also a Dove self tanning product designed especially for the face. The Energy Glow Daily Face Moisturizer also has a touch of Dove self tanning product in it. Like the Daily Moisturizer, it is available for two colors of skin tone.

Dove self tanning products take a few days to notice a difference, and at least a full week to reach the full effect. For best results, the Dove self tanning products (both face and body) should be applied to clean, dry, unlotioned skin. To avoid streaks, it is important to rub it in well and only get dressed when the skin has dried. Porous areas such as elbows, hands, and feet absorb Dove self tanning lotions quicker and more easily. To avoid darker joints and palms, apply sparingly to dry areas and wash hands after using.

Since Dove is committed to nourishing healthy skin, the Dove self tanning line, The Dove Energy Glow Collection includes many other skin care products. For instance, the Dove Energy Glow bars and body washes prepare the skin for Dove self tanning products. They smooth the skin, while cleaning and enriching it. To add radiance to a self-tanned skin, the Shimmering Body Lotion is a wonderful option. It contains brighteners that reflect light and nourishes the skin.

The face is of course, a sensitive area and deserves special attention. The Dove Energy Glow Face Care line includes vitamin-rich moisturizers, creams, and cleansers such as a foaming facial cleanser. The foaming facial cleanser is designed to prepare the facial skin for Dove self tanning products by exfoliating and moisturizing the surface.

Artificially tanner skin does not mean more protection from the sun. Brightening Eye Cream with SPF 8 and Brightening Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 smooth puffy under eyes, fine lines and tone the facial skin, all while protecting from harmful sun rays. At night, Foaming Facial Cleanser Pillows are ideal for removing makeup, dirt, and oil. They just need to be combined with warm water to activate the lather. The Brightening Night Cream is full of vitamins to enrich and nourish the face overnight.

Clearly, there is no excuse to put one's skin and health at risk in the harmful sun when there are wonderful self tanning lotions and self tanning moisturizers on the market like the Dove self tanning line. Where other self tanning lotions fall short at providing real skin nourishment, Dove self tanning products have soared ahead by combining self tanning properties with thick, rich moisture. Dove recognizes that overall skin health is the goal and has made developing a youthful, healthy, summer glow available year-round.
