Xen-Tan Is Still My 2008 Self Tanning Choice

by User ImageChristina Jones on April 16th, 2008

xen-tan-transform Not to say I won’t find another one this year that I like better, but for me, hands down, Xen-Tan is the best self tanner (non airbrush)- this is my 2nd year running with it.  I use GlowFusion gun and solution sometimes, the gun is great but the solution is subtle - if I need a tan now, Xen-Tan is the one.  I have tried two new ones this year, so far - I am hoping to find the perfect spray on tan, but alas, I am still in favor of the lotion:

Lancome’s Flash Bronzer - I LOVE the spray - it gives great, non streaky coverage and is super long lasting, but, unfortunately is WAY too warm in color for my skin.  Very unnatural color - for me. 

ModelCo Tan Airbrush In a Can - Just didn’t work for me at all.  The color is good, but the spray is a little too strong, which is wasteful, messy and it really leaves me blotchy and streaky.  The tan fades quickly and unevenly, and I could never make it look even a little close to normal. 

So back to Xen-tan - they have some new products out this year that look really nice, most especially their new Transform.   This is a subtle product that you use as a daily moisturizer without the fuss of application, as it is a time released, very gradual tan builder.  Very nice if you don’t need a tan NOW.   My usual purchase is the Dark Lotion - it is really perfect.  Not orange-y at all, does not stain your hands or streak, and it doesn’t have a bad smell or leave a sticky feeling on your skin.  I think that this, along with the daily use of Transform, might be a really perfect way to keep up my tanning up this year. 

As a reminder, here are some tips for applying self tanners from my archives - I know I have more in there, but this one is pretty general, but thorough - I hope you enjoy it!  And if you need a reminder as to why baking in the sun is not the answer, read about my lovely skin cancer experience.
