Mystic Tan: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mystic Tan Booth?
The Mystic Tan booth is a full-body, DHA tanning process
that utilizes MagneTan technology, a revolutionary
process that allows the booth to apply a uniform amount
of sunless tanning solution to all parts of the body.
When the special Mystic Tan solution passes through the
booth's nozzles, the particles of solution are
polarized, taking on the characteristics of "tiny
magnets." MagneTan technology uses the body's own
magnetic properties to attract the sunless tan solution
particles to all surfaces of the skin. When the tanning
process is finished, the consumer simply steps out of
the booth, towels-off any excess sunless tan mist,
dresses, and exits. The result is a uniform,
natural-looking sunless tan in under five minutes.
What is MagneTan Technology?
MagneTan tanning services are featured in the
revolutionary Mystic Tan tanning booths. MagneTan
tanning services offer a unique, revolutionary process
that allows the Mystic Tan booth to apply a uniform
amount of tanning solution to all parts of the body.
When the special Mystic Tan tanning solution passes
through the booth's nozzles, the particles of sunless
tanning solution are polarized, taking on the
characteristics of tiny magnets. MagneTan's technology
then uses the body's own magnetic properties to attract
the solution particles to all exposed surfaces of the
skin. The end result is a uniform and natural-looking,
golden brown tan!
Will it turn me orange?
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 creams 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 skinned areas such as elbows, knees, and knuckles
because these areas have a tendency to absorb more of
the cream. Hand held spray-on applicators tend to run
and cause streaking. The MagneTan� technology used to
apply the Mystic Tan tanning solution assures that all
areas of the body get a uniform coating of the solution
in the exact quantity required to produce a golden brown
tan.
What should I wear in the tanning booth?
Many people do not wear anything. The room is completely
private and if you would like to tan in the nude it is
perfectly acceptable. However, if you do wear a bathing
suit, underwear, or anything else, please be aware that
whatever you wear may be stained. The bronzer we use for
your initial color is water-soluble and should wash out
of anything you wear, but the DHA applied may cause
permanent stains on any clothing you may wear inside the
booth.
Will I be wet when I step out of the Mystic Tan
booth?
The mist applied in the Mystic Tan tanning booth is very
fine. By the time you step out of the booth most of the
mist will have dried, but there may still be a few moist
areas. You may see small droplets clinging to the body
hair on your arms or legs. This remaining moisture can
be removed quite easily by toweling dry. Do not worry
about wiping off the solution with the towel. Toweling
does not streak the tan, and any solution that comes off
on the towel was excess and will not effect your tan.
Just towel off the same way you do when you take a
shower. Be sure you have toweled all moist areas before
dressing.
How long do I have to wait after a tanning session
before I can shower?
We recommend that you wait a minimum of 4 hours after
tanning to give the DHA enough time to fully set. If you
shower earlier, you may diminish the intensity of the
tan. When you do shower the initial tan created by the
water-soluble bronzer will wash off, but the DHA will
remain and create your long term tan.
What happens if the Mystic Tan mist gets in my
eyes?
There is nothing in the mist that will harm your eyes.
Do I need to cover my hair while tanning in the
Mystic Tan tanning booth?
Many consumers wear disposable shower caps to keep the
solution from getting in their hair. Other consumers tan
without covering their hair. The solution will not
penetrate the hair follicles.
Has anyone had an allergic reaction to the
chemicals used in the Mystic Tan tanning solution?
All of the components of the Mystic Tan tanning solution
have been used in cosmetics and food products for
decades and have 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 the Mystic Tan
solution on a small area of the skin to test for
possible reactions.
Do I need to hold my breath during the tanning
session?
We recommend that you hold your breath during the actual
misting process, which lasts 12 to 18 seconds. We make
this recommendation because 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
breathe it in. If you have a history of asthma or other
respiratory illnesses we do not recommend that you tan
in the Mystic Tan tanning booth until consulting with
your physician.
Will the components of the Mystic Tan solution
make my skin have an unpleasant smell?
Some consumers have commented that they noticed a
"starchy" smell on their skin after tanning, but it is
usually not noticeable to others around them.
Are there ways to enhance the Mystic Tan results?
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 to 6 hours. Certain types of moisturizers
or lotions applied during this period could cause the
DHA to streak.
Can I go swimming after tanning in the Mystic Tan
booth?
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 possibly cause streaking.
How long after a Mystic Tan tanning session before
I can put my clothes back on?
Once you have towel dried there is little chance of the
bronzer or DHA getting on your clothes. If you pursue
any strenuous physical activity after your Mystic Tan
tanning session, perspiration may cause some of the
bronzer to transfer to your clothing. Since the bronzer
is completely water-soluble it will wash out.
How many times do I need to tan with the Mystic
Tan tanning process to achieve the color I want?
You will be tan after one session, but it may take a
additional session or two to achieve your desired color.
Once you reach the color you desire you should be able
to maintain it by tanning every four to five days.
If I tan in the Mystic Tan tanning booth, can I
also tan in tanning beds and in the sun?
Yes. There is nothing in the Mystic Tan� tanning
solution that would prevent you from tanning in tanning
beds or 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 give you any protection from UV rays.
Because of my fair skin and have never been able
to tan before. Will the Mystic Tan tanning booth give me
a tan?
Yes. The Mystic Tan tanning booth was designed
specifically for individuals who can't or don't want to
tan conventionally.
What is in the Mystic Tan tanning solution?
The Mystic Tan tanning solution has three components:
- 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 affect 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.
Can I use the Mystic Tan booth if I am pregnant?
It is suggested that you consult your Doctor regarding
this matter.
