Xen Tan Question - 05-11-09, 04:48 PM

I have just bought a bottle of Xen Tan lotion in dark for myself, I am really pale naturally but like to look really brown. My friend wants me to do hers for her, but she is a redhead and also really pale.

I know everyone says one colour suits all but would this dark lotion be suitable for her?

xen tan - 05-11-09, 05:04 PM

weve recently got xen tan in salon for retail and to spray. I think you will have no problams whatsoever with the dark lotion as it as a olive undertone in so will ork with your natural pigment. I have been in the industry 17 years and used everyting from st tropez to fakebake to sudo etc i have to say ZEN as been the best by far, i hope this helps with your question.

Doesnt it depend on the % DHA in the product? i.e the lower the % the lighter the skin you are tanning?
I dont know how xen tan works but this is usually the rule of thumb HTH

DHA is actually colourless. It's only the bronzers that may have colours added to them. Once the bronzer has been washed it, it makes no difference to the colour of the tan that has developed underneath.
Green based, red based blah blah blah...........it's rubbish!
You may go orange from an overload of DHA or a poor quality DHA.
It's always best to start someone with the lowest % designed for their skin type.
