FAQs
How often should I apply Dove Visible Glow Self-Tan Lotion?
For best results, apply daily until you achieve your desired level of tan. Once you have your preferred glow, apply every 2-3 days to maintain it.
Does this lotion provide sun protection?
No, Dove Visible Glow Self-Tan Lotion does not contain SPF and will not protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Always use a separate sunscreen when exposed to the sun.
Can I use this product on my face?
Yes, you can use it on your face, but avoid direct contact with eyes and mouth. For a lighter facial tan, you might consider mixing a small amount with your regular facial moisturizer before applying.
How long does it take for the tan to develop?
The tan develops gradually over several hours after application. You'll notice a subtle deepening of your skin tone after the first use, with more visible results appearing after 2-3 consecutive daily applications.
Will this self-tanner stain my sheets or clothes?
To minimize transfer, ensure the lotion is completely dry and absorbed into your skin before dressing or getting into bed. Wearing loose, dark clothing during the drying time can also help. Any transfer is usually washable.
What should I do if I get streaks?
To correct streaks, gently exfoliate the streaky areas to help even out the color. For future applications, ensure thorough exfoliation beforehand, and apply the lotion evenly in circular motions, paying close attention to blending around joints.
How long does the tan last?
The tan typically lasts for several days, depending on your skin's natural exfoliation cycle and how often you reapply. Regular moisturizing (even with regular lotion) can help extend the life of your tan.
Troubleshooting
Streaks or patches appear after application.
This often happens due to uneven application or inadequate exfoliation. Exfoliate the affected area gently to blend or reduce the patchiness. For future applications, ensure skin is thoroughly exfoliated and dry, and apply the lotion in smooth, circular motions, blending well, especially around joints.
Tan is too light or not developing enough.
The tan is gradual, so consistent daily application is key. If your tan isn't developing as quickly as you'd like, try applying it daily for 2-3 consecutive days. Ensure you're using enough product to cover the skin thoroughly.
Product transferred onto clothing or bedding.
Allow the lotion to dry completely before dressing or going to bed. This typically takes 5-10 minutes. Wearing loose, dark clothing during the drying period can also help prevent visible transfer.
Skin appears orange-toned.
While this product is formulated for medium to dark tones to prevent an orange tint, individual skin chemistry can vary. Ensure you're not applying excessive amounts. If the issue persists, reduce frequency of application or try blending with a regular body lotion for a more diluted effect.
Unpleasant smell during or after application.
Some self-tanning products can have a distinct scent. Dove Visible Glow is designed to minimize this, but if you notice it, ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. After the tan develops, showering can often remove any residual scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Application
- Exfoliate: Before your first application, gently exfoliate your entire body to remove dead skin cells. This creates a smooth surface for an even tan.
- Moisturize Dry Areas: Apply a thin layer of regular body lotion to particularly dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. This helps prevent these areas from absorbing too much product and appearing darker.
- Apply Evenly: Dispense a generous amount of Dove Visible Glow lotion into your palm. Apply to one body part at a time, using smooth, circular motions. Ensure even coverage.
- Hands & Feet: For hands and feet, apply sparingly using a small amount of lotion mixed with regular moisturizer, blending carefully. Wipe excess from palms and in between fingers.
- Wash Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
- Dry Time: Allow the lotion to absorb and dry completely before dressing (typically 5-10 minutes) to avoid transfer onto clothing.
Compatibility
- This product is specifically formulated for medium to dark skin tones to achieve a natural glow. If you have very fair skin, results might be more pronounced, so patch test first.
- Patch Test: For sensitive skin, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area 24 hours before full body application.
Care & Storage
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Product Longevity: Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product efficacy.
- Post-Tan Care: To maintain your tan, continue to moisturize daily and reapply the Visible Glow lotion every 2-3 days, or as desired.
