Product Review - Dove Energy Glow Moisturizer


I'm a white girl, and when I say white, I mean WHITE. Pasty white. Almost purply white. Now I know that I am blessed, but unfortunately, skin with even subtle colour was not one of the things I was blessed with. So I have to improvise...
I was never leary of tanning beds until just recently. In fact I used to love going to a tanning bed. I found it so relaxing, and I just felt sexier when I left. But now I'm just too worried about all of the terrible health consequences that can come along with using a tanning bed or staying in the sun too long without skin protection.

I considered a full-out self-tanner, but I've heard too many stories of girls getting orange and streaky. Trust me, I'll take white and pasty anyday over orange and streaky. *giggle, giggle*

In light of all of this, I've decided to try a moisturizer with a subtle hint of self-tanner. The first problem for me was that there are so many of these new moisturizers on the market to choose from! I spent many a time in front of a Walmart shelf debating the different kinds, only to leave empty handed.

I finally decided to give the Dove Energy Glow moisturizer a try. And I have to say that I LOVE it! It really does just leave you with a subtle glow, sans-streaks. There are two types out there - one for fair skin tones and one for medium to darker skin tones. I, of course, tried the one for fair skin toned people. So far so good! I highly recommend this one...

From a fellow whiter-than-white girl, these subtle tanners are a godsend!! I've been using the Jergens one for a couple of years now.
