“Xen Tan Face Tanner ….. it does the trick “

Ok here’s an idea that really works! I don’t know about you but I like to have a healthy

natural looking glow, even in the darkest depths of winter. Achieving that “just back from the beach look” can be hard work and a little time consuming.

So, let me tell you about a sunless tanning product that gives you a great looking face tan all year round. Better still its easy to apply, without any mess, hassle or even a trip to a tanning centre.

So Much Choice

My biggest concern with some sunless tanning products is usually the smell and without naming names, there are some nasty smelling solutions out there that promise the earth but sadly don’t deliver. It’s also another matter when you have to then decide which product to trust enough to actually put on your face.

About Xen Tan

Xen Tan has revolutionised self tanning for some time now with their comprehensive range of self tanning lotions and self tanning mist. Manufactured in the USA, this brand does have a loyal following, including many other UK celebrities. The company has built a strong reputation for streak free, easy blending with all of its body products. But does this philosophy also apply to the face product too.?

Well, having tried Xen Tan Face tanner, I was very happy with the results. ..

Xen Tan Face Tanner gets to work

The handy 80ml tube may at first appear to be a nothing spectacular. However, when you unscrew that cap the first thing you notice is a very pleasant fruity smell which immediately inspires you to want to use the product. To apply the Xen Tan Face tanner simply squeeze a small about on to your figure tips, you don’t need much as the application is easy. The liquid is white and not brown, so there is a strange feeling that you are just using a traditional moisturiser and really that is the way to use the product. So just dab it on your various facial zones and blend in.

Make sure you cover all your face and neck, then rinse your hands, which to me seemed odd at the time, as I had convinced my self that I was using a moisturiser. You can easily forget …. I must confess I did this the first time I used it. In fact, I only realised my mistake a few hours later when I noticed brown tinge inside my figures and palms which looked like I had a very heavy night on the Marlboro Lights. It does say on the tube “Wash hands with soap after applying”….. Note to self! “read the directions first.”

The only thing left to do is let it develop, which it does very gradually. Xen Tan recommend that you wait three hours before showering or swimming. After that time you will see a noticeable difference. I was really happy with the results, a very natural healthy looking tan, not orangey and certainly not over powering.

My recommendation is to apply Xen Tan Face Tanner in the morning and by lunch time you can see the final result, you can also wear it under make up too. I now use a small amount two or three times a week so the tube should last a while.

What’s in it

Xen-Tan Face Tanner contains green tea, milk thistle, Vitamin E, gentle fruit acids along with aloe to give skin a real treat and pump it full of healthy moisture. The gradual tanning formula leaves skin looking radiant and sun kissed.
