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.)

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 (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 (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!

Hi Gorgeous Girls and Guys,

So it’s nearly Easter and things are actually beginning to blossom, flowers and trees alike, and as the weather gets better there’s no excuse to stop you getting gorgeous and flaunting it to everyone in the outside world! No more hiding inside under jumpers! Why not use the Easter break as a time to spoil those you love as well as yourself with some of these super gifts and products…

With prices starting as low as £29.99 for a leather bag and products you’d be hopping mad not to take a peek. I particularly love the limited edition ghd Kiss Pink set which includes a gorgeous white leather travel bag packed full of your favourite ghd thermodynamics products to get you started…all for just £135.00!!

All the sun we’re getting at the moment can play havoc with your hair so why not try the new products in the Kérastase Soleil range, designed to protect and cleanse your hair. For a limited time we’re offering you a luxurious beach towel in cotton bag ABSOLUTELY FREE with three products from the range! Keep it for yourself or pass it on to a friend.

And a little something for you…
It’s no secret that I love the sunshine, but that I also don’t have very sun tolerant skin – think of a lobster and that’s what I look like after about 10 minutes in the sun!! So the best way for me to get a gorgeous glow with summer on the way is to use a sunscreen that adds a touch of colour to my skin at the same time. This can seem like the holy grail of skin products but at last I have found a great product that ticks all the boxes; Clarins Self-Tanning Milk with Sun Protection. Mix a little of this in with your usual sunscreen to boost it’s protection qualities for protected skin with a gorgeous natural tan – everyone will be asking where you went on holiday!!
Until next time stay gorgeous,

“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.
