Description
Product description
Dark Lotion is an intensely moisturising sunless tanning lotion with a deep instant colour. This fast-acting formula enables a streak-free application and a tan that isn't deepened at the ankles or elbows, 'the ultimate give-away'! Rich coconut and walnut oils keep your skin well-hydrated so that your tan lasts twice as long and fades evenly, a rarity in the fake tanning world. This is a brilliant all-rounder self tanning product for all skin tones.
Why it's cult
Xen Tan Dark Lotion has taken the USA by storm, and is being hailed as a favourite self-tanner by celebrities, beauty editors and fake tan fans alike. Unlike most self tanners that use orange colouring to simulate a bronzed look, Xen-Tan uses the olive tones that are found in naturally sun-kissed skin so that you can apply it to even the fairest skin and achieve a natural, brown effect.
Directions & ingredients for Xen Tan Dark Lotion
Directions
Always exfoliate skin first and moisturise knees, elbows and ankles. Apply in a circular motion to your body. Apply slightly less lotion to the tops of your feet, elbows and knees. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 1-2 minutes. After washing hands apply Dark Lotion to back of hands with cotton squares or makeup sponge. Blend carefully. Wait three hours for your tan to develop before washing or swimming. Instant colour will rinse away but your self-tan will stay up to 7 days

User reviews of Xen Tan Dark Lotion
best self tanner on the market by far!!!

By tess, restaurant manager, Thirties, Edinburgh
This stuff really is far superior to all the other self tanners out there!! It is remarkably easy to apply with no streaks or stained bed clothes and the smell is divine, a marzipan tropical scent which smells so yummy you almost want to eat the bottle!! Unlike other self tanners this product gives you the time to rub the colour in evenly and it's not neccesary to leave over night either as it dries quick enough and well enough to use just before a big night out. The colour is so realistic due to the olive undertones, a far better look than the orange hue's of other self tanners!! So far one application has lasted 5 days and is still going strong with no flaky colour around the elbows, ankles and knees. I just love love love this product!!
