The Pale Escape



I live in "sunny Scotland" (wish i wasn't being sarcastic)  so not chance of catching a tan here.  I could go to Africa, yeh i said Africa for 3 months & still come back as pale as a sheep.  I just ain''t got that Melanin girl! 

So I cheat hehe.  I refuse to go to sunbed's or pay someone for doing a spray tan when you can spend £20-£30 for a good tan out a bottle that lasts longer. 

Here's my secret:

I apply 'Xen-Tan Absolute Luxe' every 2-3 days so it can continue to stay on naturally.  Yes, I have a break every fortnight or so to scrub that off my skin.  

Why do you love it?: 
It moisturises your skin while its on as it's a smooth lotion & gives a natural golden tan

Is it easy to apply?: 
Yes its a lotion so it glides right on.

Do you wear a mit or gloves?: 
No, because its a lotion the mit/gloves make it harder to put it on so i just apply with my hands then wash my hands afterwards, you dont get bright brown or orange hands from it, it comes off your palms super easy!.  

Does it have a colour guide?: 
Yes its a beige colour when you apply it then when its dried it, it's golden (not major dark).

Does it take long to dry?: 
No, I would leave it about 2 mins, it just takes the same as normal body lotion to dry. 

Does it fade well?: 
If you apply lotion regularly it lasts longer however when it fades if you stop applying the tan it can go kind of scaley, but it comes off easy with body scrub.
