Advantages: It goes on without streaking and is ok on very sensitive skin (unlike fake bake) Disadvantages: All that is irrelevant considering its orange.
Are you all flipping bonkers?
I purchased Xen Tan Dark Lotion because I have no time to build up a sunbed tan of late, and tend to worry about aging my skin. I assumed from the raves and reviews it would be brilliant ,or at least better than fake bake (which i am allergic too otherwise i love it it goes on a great colour).
I'm bluddy orange! I'v enever seen such a vibrant orange shade of tan...I'm wearing blue right now and its making me look even ... ...orange!....It goes on fine - no streaks - smells like cake to begin with then just like the others after an hour..but i look like I've been had off by the tango man....No one seems to mention the orangeness...what the heck? its hard to miss!!! It says that you could leave the house while it develops...could you hell! It dries too fast whilst your putting it on and goes all blotch (but that does come off when you shower and looks fine). Either your ...

Advantages: Looks fantastic Disadvantages: You need to shower 4hours after application to avoid turning orange!
...however, I was a die-hard xen-tan fan! I am pale, and I do use the darkest lotion. The only reason I stopped using it, was because I only leave the lotion onfor 4 hours before washing it off. I find if you leave it on for longer, it does go orange.
However it is a lovely product. It smells gorgeous (compared to other leading fake tan at least), leaves you subtly and naturally bronzed and doesn't streak and fades well.
I cannot recommend it enough! ...

I first Read about Xen Tan on the internet after reading so many great product reviews and hearing that all the celebs used this product i decided to give it ago. I purchased My Xen Tan From the site www.feelunique.com for the price of £17 the product has now gone up in price to £18.95 this is still a bargain to the RRP price £25.95.

Advantages: Smells good, long lasting, very intense brown colour Disadvantages: Maybe the price but I bought on eBay for cheaper! :)
I used to be a Fake Bake and St. Tropez fan but I have been converted! This tan is so good that I don't think I'd ever go back to using other brands! For me personally, this tan stands out for 3 major reasons:
1. When I go out on a night out, I like to be very bronzed. However, I found other fake tans just aren't as dark and you need a few applications. Not so with this one - it went very dark and most importantly, it did not go orange! And all ... ...went so orange on reviewer samantha.porter... Maybe it doesn't suit all skin tones and if you find it goes orange, try the Deep Bronze instead! (claims to be a milk chocolate colour and isn't as dark!)
2. It actually smells pretty good!
3. It lasted a whole week on me! Usually, with my other brands, I find I look significantly paler after a few days and have to reapply but I didn't need to reapply for a whole week after using Xen-Tan! It fades ...

Advantages: easy to apply, no streaks, no odour, natural looking tan. Disadvantages: none
I have tried lots of self tanning products, only to end up with streaks, very dark knees and elbows, not to mention rather orange palms. I dont like using sunbeds as I dont really want a lovely golden glow but look 10 years older due to skin damage. My local beauty salon has just stared offering the brilliant "Xen Tanning" treatment, and I must say I was rather dubious at the claims they made - Very easy to apply, it dries straight away, so theres ...

Advantages: Streak free, easy to apply Disadvantages: Still small hint of fake tan smell
I am a very pale individaul and have tried A LOT of self tanning products and this is the best i have tried by far. It is very easy to apply as has a colour tanning guide so can see where you have applied it, i followed the instructions which were very simple and did not streak at all, i woke up looking like just had 2 weeks in the Caribbean a beautiful olive tan and not orange!
It also does not smell as bad as other self tans and it faded gradually.
