Mystic Sunless Tanning System
 

 

The Mystic Tan™ tanning solution has three components
(A perfectly uniform, natural looking tan in less than 60 seconds!):


 

  • The bronzer is a water-soluble dye designed to produce an instant tan. The brown bronzer will wash off in the shower or bath but will not effect your overall tan.

     
  • The DHA produces a long-term tan. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with proteins in the skins superficial layer to form a golden brown color. It begins to darken 2 to 3 hours after application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours. The DHA tan will begin to gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun. To maintain optimal color, you should tan every 4 to 5 days.

     
  • The Aloe Vera helps to carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promotes a softer, smoother finish. The Mystic Tan¨ tanning solution contains more than 65% stabilized Aloe Vera liquid. Aloe Vera is a natural moisturizer that helps the skin draw moisture to the surface. It softens the skin and helps smooth wrinkles.
  • Q: Can you tell me something about Skin Preparation?
    A: The condition of your skin plays a key roll in the application process.

    • Step 1: Exfoliate and moisturize before your visit
    • Step 2: Moisturize your skin after every bath or shower to increase the life of your tan
    • Step 3: Repeating Step 1 before every session will ensure a flawless looking tan

    Q: Has anyone had an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in the Mystic Tan tanning solution?
    A: All of the components of the Mystic Tan tanning solution have been used in cosmetics and food products for decades and been proven to be safe for use on the skin. If you have had previous allergic reactions to self-tanning lotions or cosmetics, you may want to do a patch test by putting a small amount of Mystic Tan solution on a small area of skin to test for possible reactions.

    Q: Do I need to hold my breath during the Mystic Tan tanning sessions? What happens if I breathe in the Mystic Tan mist? Will the mist make me sick?
    A: Mystic Tan recommends that you hold your breath during the actual misting process, which lasts for 15-20 seconds. Mystic Tan makes this recommendation most individuals would prefer not to breathe in the mist even though there is nothing in it that would cause any harm if you did inhale it. If you have a history of asthma, however, we do not recommend that you tan in the Mystic Tan booth until consulting your physician.

    Q: Will the components of the Mystic Tan solution cause my skin to have an unpleasant smell?
    A: Some customers have commented that they noticed a " starchy" smell on their skin for a brief period right after tanning, but usually not noticeable to others around them.

    Q: Are there ways to enhance the Mystic Tan results?
    A: Yes. Applying a water-based moisturizer prior to tanning helps the skin absorb the Mystic Tan tanning solution. Using a moisturizer frequently will help the tan last longer. You should not apply any moisturizers or lotions to the skin after tanning until the DHA has had time to set, usually 4-6 hours. Certain types of moisturizers or lotions applied during this period could cause the streaking of the DHA.

    Q: Can I go swimming after tanning in the Mystic Tan booth?
    A You should not swim or shower for a minimum of 4 hours after tanning in the Mystic Tan booth. Swimming in chlorinated water at any time can bleach the Mystic Tan and possible cause streaking.

    Q: Who should use the Mystic Tan booth?
    A: Everyone! Including Self-Tanners, Non-Tanners, Ex-Tanners, and Current Tanners.

    Q: Will it turn me orange?
    A: No! In the past, self-tanners gave many individuals an unnatural orange glow and caused streaking. Most of these undesirable results were caused by improper or ineffective application techniques. Applying cremes and lotions by hand usually results in excessive amounts being absorbed in the skin. Excessive amounts applied in a single application can give an orange glow to the skin. Unnatural dark spots may also appear in dry or thick skin areas such as elbows, knees, and knuckles because they have a tendency to absorb more of the creme or lotion. Hand held spray-on applicators tend to run and cause streaking. The misting technology used to apply the Mystic Tan tanning solution assures that all areas of the body receive a uniform coating of the solution in the exact amount necessary to produce a golden brown tan.

    Q: How does Mystic Tan deliver the perfect tan?
    A: The Mystic Tan booth utilizes a spray-on process designed to deliver a customized sunless tanning application to each individual based on their body size, skin type and desired color. For each individual profile, three tanning level options are available to produce optimal results. Inside the Mystic Tan room the tanner simply disrobes and enters the booth. With the push of a button, the session begins with a fine mist of aloe Vera enriched unless-tanning solution being sprayed through Mystic Tan's patented MagneTan nozzles. The Magne Tan technology ensures uniform coverage over the entire body. Mystic Tan's sunless tanning sout9ion instantly transforms into a quick, natural-looking tan that continues to darken throughout the day. A perfectly uniform, natural-looking tan in less than 60 seconds!

    Q: If I tan in the Mystic Tan tanning booth, can I also tan in tanning beds and in the sun?
    A: Yes. There is nothing in the Mystic Tan tanning solution that would prevent you from tanning in tanning beds or in the sun. In fact, a number of customers have found that tanning with UV rays and the Mystic Tan tanning solution actually gives them a better overall tan. If you do plan to use a tanning bed and the Mystic Tan booth in the same day, we recommend that you tan in the tanning bed first. Remember, however that the Mystic Tan does not provide any protection from UV Rays.

    Q: Because of my fair skin, I have never been able to tan before, will the Mystic Tan tanning booth give me a tan?
    A: Yes. The Mystic Tan tanning booth was designed specifically for individuals who cannot or do not want to tan conventionally.

    Q: What happens if the Mystic Tan mist gets in my eyes?
    A: There is nothing in the mist that will harm your eyes.
