Review of Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, for Medium Skin Tones

I have had success with many sunless tanners, and then with others things go South. Pretty much as of now it is my opinion that 50% of the sunless tanners available on the market now, work fantastic. 25% of them work okay, and the other 25% are horrendous.
You have ones that streak your skin, ones that smell so bad you can't bear to keep in on, and others that don't give any results at all.
When I came across Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, For Medium Skin Tones for $6.99 at Walmart I wanted to try it. It came in a neat looking package, the price was decent, and it was by Dove; a company I have used, and liked all throughout my life.
Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, For Medium Skin Tones promised that it would enhance and even out my skin tone resulting in a summer glow all year long. It was a pretty steep promise... I mean to add in 'all year long'.
Use:
To get this all year long summer glow all you have to do is apply the lotion daily. In about one weeks time you should be seeing subtle natural looking results.
It seemed easy, so that's what I did. I clicked open the cap and applied the lotion evenly to my face, and legs. My arms never need any gradual sunless tans...they are tan enough.
For the first time ever I noticed a scent that I actually liked coming from a bottle of sunless tanner. Usually sunless tanning lotions smell like hell. Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, though smelled decent, and I didn't mind having it on my skin.
The lotion rubbed into my skin and absorbed pretty quickly into my skin. It left no greasy or slimy residue behind, which was a plus. I was already loving it, the nice scent, the fast absorption into my skin, and no traces of grease left behind! Sweet right?Right?
Within just a few days I saw results, and they were nice, but when I got up close and personal with my reflection in the mirror I noticed that the areas that were gaining color were also peeling, flaky, and gross looking.
I began to scrub my face, and when looking at my reflection yet again, I noticed that the 'gradual color' was fading as I scrubbed away at the dead colored skin. It was pretty nasty.
After removing all of the dead skin, I applied the lotion again. Within a few days I got the same results. It seems that the skin that this lotion gradually colors begins to gradually peel away as well.
My results were non-existent, because every other day I ended up having to scrub dead colored skin off of my face.
Pricing and availability:
The best price I found this one for was Walmart. I am sure though that if you dabble around the internet you could scoop it up for less that $5.00 off of www.ebay.com.
Overall:
What the hell is the point if the lotion is just going to dry out my skin, and cause it to peel. Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, For Medium Skin Tones is like a bad sunburn, it looks okay until it peels.
