XEN-TAN is a WINNER!

Tips for tanning face and throat: 

· Gently exfoliate the face by using a scrub or even a cleanser and a washcloth to slough off dead skin cells

· Apply face tanner in a circular motion to skin on face and throat. 

· For blending self tanner into your hairline, apply self tan lotion onto fingertips and use an up and down motion to feather into hairline

· For instant bronzing or contorting the cheek bones, add a little extra tanner to cheek area for additional color

Tips for body: 

· Exfoliate first. Yes it makes your skin more smooth, but most importantly, it also makes your tan last longer. Self-tanners are absorbed by more drier skin, so make sure you focus on the extra dry areas such as knees and elbows

· Apply to clean dry skin and always work from the bottom up, remembering to wash hands with soap and water in between applications. Use a circular motion to blend. If you are looking for instant color, self tan with Xen-Tan‘s Deep Bronze

· Don’t forget your back! Take a long flat folded strip of saran wrap. Dot some self tan lotion in the middle. While holding the ends, smooth over areas on your back that are out of reach

· If you are afraid you applied too much self-tan to your wrists or back of hands, just rub a little moisturizer to those areas and blend with arms

Tips for Swimming:

· If you want your skin to be tanned and beach ready, apply self tan at least one hour before you leave (preferably the night before). Then apply your sun block as soon as you get to the beach. Give your self tan time to develop before you jump in the water

· Self tan does tend to fade the longer you swim. Keep dips in the pool or ocean to fifteen minutes or less. Use your towel to gently pat dry instead of rubbing to preserve your tan. You can even apply a daily tanner after swimming to keep your self tan from fading

Flabby buns or tummy?

· To give the illusion of toned buns or abs or any troubled areas for that matter, add a little extra tanner to add depth where you feel you need it

· To fake a fuller bust line, apply more self tanner in your cleavage area to give the illusion of depth

Any Mistakes?

· If you forget to wash your hands, the best thing to do is put a little dishwashing liquid is a bowl of warm water and soak hands for 20 minutes. Dry hands and use rubbing alcohol with cotton balls to see if you can get any excess off. Then use a scrub.

· If you missed a spot, use a self tan with dark instant color like Xen-Tan’s Dark Lotion to fill in. The instant color will disguise the spot and the tan will develop within three hours

· Always remember to apply SPF every day – self tanning products do not take the place of sun protection
