There's always that period in-between the start of spring and the start of summer where it feels like you're in limbo. Can you get excited for a summer holiday yet? Should you have a little glow? I felt like this recently; my skin was in winter mode, you know, a bit dull and not ready to bare any skin? 

I wouldn't suggest going near a tanning bed (skin cancer isn't beauty) and instant tanning is too powerful for a spring glow so Dove came to the rescue. 

For many people, gradual tan is the ideal way to tan. It's pretty easy to control the colour, it's moisturising, and it doesn't scream orange. 

I've always mixed any tan that I apply with moisturiser, even gradual, I find that it helps for a smoother application and despite what many people say, it doesn't make it go streaky. Pop it on after a bath and before you go to bed and you'll notice a glow in the morning. Get those arms out, summer is around the corner!
