Beauty: Faking it

I don't consider myself an authority on much, but fake tan is absolutely something I know EVERYTHING about. I have been 'faking it' for 20 odd years and have tried every different fake tan product on the market. I have also tried and tested all the recommended exfoliators, mitts and moisturisers that go with the various tanning products available.  


So what do I look for in a fake tan? First and foremost a product that is easy to apply and dries streak free. Next up, a beautiful olive tone, I do not want to look like I've been tangoed. Another must is the smell - I do not want to smell of Digestive biscuits while it 'develops'. Finally, a tan that lasts and doesn't start going patchy when it wears off.


I can honestly say after trying pretty much all of the fake tans out there - Sienna X, St Tropez, Fake Bake etc that Xen Tan is the only one that actually delivers on all of the above. I use the 'Deep Bronze Luxe' colour, but there shades to suit every skin type. Best of all its available at Space NK in Cobham so you don't have to go far to get that perfect golden glow...
