Xen-Tan A guide to that perfect bronzed glow

Hello Gorgeous Girls and Guys,

I was faced with a challenge the other day, I had a wedding to go to, the weather looked to be good and I was due to wear a strapless dress…the problem…I am as pale as a sheet most of the year, and the little ‘tan’ I get pales away the day after being in the sun! So everyone in the office nagged and nagged that I use Xen-tan but I didn’t believe them that it had an olive base and wouldn’t make me look like I’d been tango’d (a bad self-tan a few years back put me off for life.)

Xen Tan Dark Lotion

Then as if by magic a bottle of Xen-Tan Dark Lotion (236ml) £17.00 appeared on my desk and I thought I might as well try it (in a controlled test) – the test started on my legs, made it’s way up my torso, down my legs and then magically a

Xen-Tan Face Tanner Luxe

Xen-Tan Face Tanner Luxe (80ml) £15.00 came home with me and my face ended up tanned too! I am in LOVE!

So here are my top tips for a perfect, even bronzed bod!

1 – Exfoliate, this is the first and possibly the most important task.

Xen-Tan Body Scrub

Xen-Tan Body Scrub (236ml) £9.71 does the job, use your hands or a loofah to scrub away dead skin from top-to-toe.

2 – Dry off your skin thoroughly and whatever you do, don’t apply any moisturiser.

3 – Apply self-tan in circular motions, if on the legs start at the thighs and work downwards. When going over elbows, ankles, knees etc use lighter sweeping motions.

4 – Rinse hands with a bar of soap thoroughly.

5 – Dry hands and then use a cotton-wool pad to apply self-tan evenly to the back of your hands.

Et voila! Wait for your tan to develop over 4-5 hours and remember not to shower, swim or do anything that will make you perspire for at least a few hours after application. You can dress after around 15 minutes, although steer clear of white clothes.

Good Luck, you’ll be looking gorgeously bronzed in no time!
