INSTRUCTIONS SELF TANNING TIPS

XEN-TAN is formulated to ensure a natural, streak-free tan - even for the beginner. With the guidelines below and a little practice you are assured a "perfect" self tan. After tanning... go about your normal activities and let XEN-TAN do the work. In 2-3 hours you will develop a healthy, natural-looking tan that can last 7 days. You can tan before bed if you use dark coloured sheets. Wait 15 minutes after tanning to dress. Xen-Tan self tanner washes out of most fabrics but we always suggest wearing dark colours.

PREPARATIONS

Shower using an exfoliating scrub and dry off thoroughly. Do not apply moisturizers - they dilute and diminish the effect of self tanners. Xen-Tan includes a blend of moisturizers perfect for streak-free application even around wrists and ankles.

LEGS

Start by applying self tan in a circular motion to your thighs using our Deluxe Mitt to give a superior application. Deluxe Mitt has a silky finish and the inside is sealed to keep the product from penetrating the mitt. Blend down lightly over knees and then in a circular motion again around calves. Blend a small amount of the self tanner in a downward motion over feet being sure to blend around ankles.

CHEST and BACK

Again using a circular motion blend the self tanner over stomach and chest, and as far around the back as you can reach. Customer tip - Use a long handled plastic spatula to smooth Xen-Tan lotions or mousse on your back where you can’t reach…or….If you want to tan your whole back cut off a piece of plastic wrap 50cm long and fold over to make a long strip. Apply dots of tanner to the strip and then use to smooth over back. Blend tanner over shoulders and down arms ending at the wrist. Keep arms bent so that self tanner distributes evenly over elbows.

HANDS and FEET

Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for a full 1-2 minutes to completely remove all the self-tan from the palms of your hands. Bar soap works best for this. A scrub brush will take off any excess from your palms and assure that your nails aren’t stained. Dry hands thoroughly on a dark towel. Apply a small amount of tanner to the Deluxe Mitt and blend evenly over hands. Thin skin like hands and feet need less product so a smaller amount will work best here. You can use a bit of rubbing alcohol or moisturizing lotion to swipe off excess product on knuckles after you’ve applied. Just make a fist and then wipe excess off knuckles. After applying self-tan to one hand just switch the mitt to the other hand and then repeat the process. If you have unusually dry skin on elbows or knees just pat a little of your regular body moisturizer there after applying your Xen-Tan.
