Dove Summer Glow vs Palmers Natural Bronze

It's the world heavy weight bout between Dove Summer Glow Gradual Tanner for fair to medium skin and Palmers Natural Bronze body lotion, who will come out on top?  Let the fight begin... place your bets now!

ROUND 1
The Smell off
Dove Gradual Tanner has a fairly nice sweet smell, not a fake tan hue but nothing spectacular either.
Palmer's Natural Bronze also smells sweet, lovely like Cocoa Butter. A real Delight
Winner
Palmer's Natural Bronze


ROUND 2
Texture Time
Dove Gradual Tanner is really lovely and thick. You feel like you are giving your body a good moisture boost. The down side of this is that it takes quite a while to dry and remains slightly tacky.
Palmer's Natural Bronze is slightly less thick than the Dove. It dries a lot quicker leaving behind a smooth finish, no stickiness here!
Winner
Palmer's Natural Bronze


ROUND 3
The Final Colour Challenge
Dove Gradual Tanner definitely gives your body a good tan after one application. However for me it is slightly on the orange side and partial to streaking if not blended well. Easily build able, after 2 applications there is a significant colour change.
Palmer's Natural Bronze gives your body a very good tan after the first application. No streaking and a more natural colour, less orange and more olive.
Winner
Palmer's Natural Bronze


ROUND 4
The Price is Right
Dove Gradual Tannner £2.49
Palmer's Natural Bronze £5.35
Winner
Dove Gradual Tanner


OVERALL OPINIONS
I did like the Dove Gradual Tanner and would have bought it again had I not tried the Palmer's natural Bronze. I would say that The Palmer's is better all round, especially for fair skinned beauties. However, at £2.49 the Dove is a great bargain priced alternative that does the job.

Dove Summer Glow has been knocked to the floor! It's a victory for Palmer's Natural Bronze!!


Have you tried either of these?
