How does Xen-Tan stop you from turning orange?

Here’s the science bit – People who tan easily in the sun have an olive undertone to their skin, not an orange one.  Older type self-tans use an unnatural orange tone meant to mimic a tan. Xen-Tan uses a more olive undertone that looks realistic and deep, on even the fairest tones.

All Sunless tanning products have the same active ingredient DHA. XEN-TAN uses premium ingredients combined with the DHA to give a more even tan with a more natural colour. Older self-tan formulas have an orangey cast to them; the colour can look rusty and unnatural, especially on fairer skins.

Will XEN-TAN dry out my skin, like other fake tans?

No, this sunless tanning product drenches your skin with moisture and is unique, in that it promises no unsightly dry orange patches on elbows, knees, wrists and ankles.
XEN-Tan’s moisturisers penetrate at the same time as the tanning ingredients so the colour is smooth & streak free. Moisture levels are the key to getting an even sunless tan. XEN-TAN uses the best quality ingredients for a longer-lasting tan.
Colour applies more smoothly to hands and feet than traditional formulas.

What makes XEN-TAN last longer than some other tans?

Many new sunless tanning products use fruit acids. Fruit acids help to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. In self-tanning lotions they can also make your tan work more quickly. Unfortunately, as fast as the tan comes on, it can wear off. Fruit acids in self-tan products have a drying effect and tend to break up the look of your tan as it fades leaving a freckled appearance. XEN-TAN does not use fruit acids in any of its tanning products. XEN-TAN formulas begin to develop in just three hours and fade naturally like a real tan. The perfect blend of natural oils results in a streak-free application and a smooth, natural-looking tan.

Do I have to sleep in it, like other self-tanning lotions?
No, not necessarily. Initially, because of the time involved in sunless tanning, along with the appearance of the tan whilst developing (often looking like mud), and the odour from the product, you needed to wear it over night. This is no longer necessary. XEN-TAN sunless tanning products not only start to develop in 3 hours, but the "instant" colour allows you to look tanned immediately (whilst developing deeper & darker overtime) so you can look better on your way out of the house.
