Xen Tan Dark Lotion Weekly Self Tan


I have now been using Xen Tan's Deep Bronze Luxe and Xen Tan Moroccan Tan for around two years and haven't looked back. Xen Tan's product range is just superb, the products don't come with that usual biscuit-y smell, they are free from parabens and all have their own unique benefits.

Recently I purchased the Xen Tan Dark Lotion to add to my collection and I have put together a review for you here:



Xen Tan Dark Lotion - Weekly Self Tan

Left - before application. Right - immediately after application.

Unlike the other products the Xen Tan Dark Lotion comes in a drip-free pump action bottle which immediately won me over. This puts an end to fiddly caps and squeezy tubes leaving marks on furniture and spilling onto surfaces. A couple of pumps onto my mitt and I was ready to go.

The guide colour is immediately fairly dark and I panicked that I would need to blend quickly to avoid darker patches from the guide colour. However when I rubbed it in it actually faded back to a more subtle bronzed look with no patchiness or streaking. In fact I would be happy to venture out and about in the summer with this guide colour on as it is more of a 'glow' than a heavy duty dark colour. You can see how subtle and natural the guide colour looks immediately after application in the picture on the right - above.

The product smells delicious (as usual) no biscuity fake tan smell. When applying with the mitt the product spread and blended beautifully, the consistency is smooth and silky and goes on effortlessly.

The colour developed quickly and evenly, giving a gorgeous olive tone to my skin. It looks very natural and sunkissed.

This product retails at £24.45 from Feel Unique.

Four hours after application.
