Xen Tan Dark Self Tanning Lotion

I love having a tan - especially in the summer when the legs come out a bit more often - but sunbeds are out of the question now after hearing horror stories about skin cancer, so I have to fake it. I have tried loads of different brands and decided to try Xen Tan after reading about it in a magazine - here's what I thought of it: Firstly, I have to mention the price. It cost me £26.99 for a bottle which contained around five applications. I struggled to part with the cash if I'm honest as that is more than I would usually pay for a fake tan - however after using it I decided that it was worth paying that little bit extra. When it came to applying ...  Read the complete review

As a keen tanner (but not a wrinkle fan!) I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect fake tan. I want a great scent, a good, long-lasting colour and most importantly, no orange streaks! The Xen-Tan is one of the best I have found so far for my fair-medium skin. It claims to create a natural, dark olive tan that lasts. The smell is lovely, my first thought was "Battenberg cake!" The lotion comes out of the bottle a dark brown colour which is really useful as it gives an instant colour and also helps you see where you have applied the lotion already. It dries really quickly so getting dressed and going about your daily business is not an issue. ...  Read the complete review

This tanning lotion has got to be the best on the market. I have fair to medium skin and this dark lotion gives you a natural tanned look. This is one of the few tanning lotions that give you a natural colour straight away and then develops over the next few hours. I found this really easy to apply and used a sponge for ease of use. The lotion although quite expensive for me it worked out cheaper as I didn't end up buying others to try them. If you were doing full body tans you would get about 10 from each bottle, i tended to only do my arms, neck and face and legs and it lasted for such a long time. The tan once develops will fade naturally ...  Read the complete review

OMG! I absolutely love this product and could rave about it all day long, it has beautiful olive undertones which bring out an amazing natural but impactful tan! To apply, exfoliate in the shower and dry completely. Then boring I know but moisturise around the hairline, knees, feet, elbows and chin line. Using a mitt (currently giving one away for free on lookfantastic.com) start from your feet and apply the delicious smelling product on yourself. It shows up instantly so is incredibly easy to apply-I have never streaked. Do this at night time, shower in the morning and then enjoy your day as a tanned god or goddess! It might sound like I have ...  Read the complete review

This is the new A list product to have. Its been featured in many magazines such as Look and company and has a bit of a cult following. I think its taken over the hype of San Tropez as its olive tones look far more natural and not only does it smell devine- we are talking cherry chocolate here but it dosnt more off in patches like san tropez does. It fades slowly mean that you dont have to scrub yourself raw before you apply another application. If you buy it on the high street (i got mine form house of frazer) then it'll cost you around £25 but you can get this on the internet and ebay for a bit cheaper and they sometimes through in some free latex gloves ...  Read the complete review
