(hot) take on the tan: X-Tan’s sunless tanning mousse delivers a beautiful deep, dark tan while deeply hydrating the skin. Don’t be fooled by this self tanner’s color guide, the bronzer may not appear as dark as other dark self tanners, but after just a few hours X-Tan develops into a gorgeous dark bronze tan that leaves the skin about four shades darker. The cinnamon-toned bronzer is perfect for warming up the skin and cancelling out blue and purple undertones. What’s more? Thanks to all of the mousse’s hydrating and nourishing ingredients, the skin is left with a flawless, supple skin finish. No more waking up with dry, tight skin after sleeping in a developing tan.
The tan lasted a solid seven days before beginning to fade, but the fade is a subtle, non-patchy fade.
how we applied: Applied two layers all over the body (excluding the face) right before bed, let develop while sleeping (about eight hours), and then rinsed the color guide off in the morning for a tan that was about four shades darker. For the hands and feet, I used a tiny drop and blended using a kabuki brush. As mentioned, X-Tan develops into a dark tan so for the most natural-looking tan; a little goes a long way on the face, hands, and feet.
brand background: Sunless salon owner and Registered Nurse, Amy Staubitz, launched X-Tan with its cult-favorite sunless tan remover in 2019. After becoming widely known in the sunless community for her extremely effective yet nourishing remover, Amy then created X-Tan self tanning mousse and shortly after passed the X-Tan baton to Kelly Callaghan; founder of Spray Tan Class and Obsidian solutions. Now, under the X-Tan umbrella you can find X-Tan self tanner and remover, Obsidian professional spray tan solutions, and sunless education courses via Spray Tan Class.
