Xen-Tan Dark Lotion


Xen-Tan Dark Lotion*

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, ate plenty of unhealthy food and got everything you wanted from Santa! :)  but now that it's over for another year we can get back to blogging. One product I've been trying out over the festive period is Xen-Tan Dark Lotion.

Xen-Tan Dark Lotion is a once weekly tan enriched with coconut and walnut oils. It's a favourite amongst A-List celebrities and claims to last for upto 10 days. The lotion is tinted so you can see exactly where you're putting it, eliminating the chances of ending up with awful streaks and instead of taking around 8 hours to develop you can jump in the shower after only 3 hours. Xen-Tan Dark Lotion sinks into the skin straight away. There's no waiting around flapping your arms to make it dry quicker and the lotion left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.

Unfortunately Xen-Tan Dark Lotion only lasted around 5/6 days on my skin but it did fade evenly as promised and didn't cling to areas such as knees, ankles and elbows. It also has a much nicer scent than other tanning products I've tried and my skin didn't dry out as the tan faded. Don't be put of by the mention of dark in the name. You can apply one light coat for a healthy natural look or add a second coat to build up your tan to a colour you're happy with. I'm very fair but went with 2 coats to get the full affect and see how well it wears.

Overall it is a great product and one to check out if you haven't already.

Xen-Tan Dark Lotion 236ml £28.99 but currently £20.29 from xen-tan.co.uk

  3. I've always wanted to try Xen Tan! I bought a spray tan machine a year ago and only use that now but sometimes it's easier to use products like this. Sun Labs is really good too.
