What is the Mystic Tan booth?
The Mystic Tan™ booth is a private, self-contained unit that, in just seconds, employs a revolutionary spray process to apply a uniform amount of Tanning Myst to the entire body in just seconds. When the tanning session is complete, the tanner simply steps out of the booth, towels off any excess Tanning Myst, dresses and exits. The result is an even, natural-looking tan.

What is MagneTan technology?
MagneTan™ technology is our patented process that uses the human body's own magnetic properties to attract Mystic Tan Tanning Myst to every exposed surface of the skin.

When authentic Mystic Tan Tanning Myst passes through the spray nozzles in a Mystic Tan booth, the micro-particles of Tanning Myst become polarized, taking on the characteristics of "tiny magnets." These particles adhere evenly to the skin to create an even, natural-looking tan.

Will my skin look orange?
15 million tans can’t be wrong. That’s how many successful Mystic Tans there have been in just a few years. Before Mystic Tan, most self-tanners were creams and lotions applied by hand. That meant inconsistent coverage. Too much lotion applied in one place left the skin looking orange. Not enough lotion left unattractive streaks. Hand held spray-on applicators tend to run and also cause streaking.

Our MagneTan technology ensures that a uniform micro-spray of Mystic Tan Tanning Myst covers the entire body in the exact amount required to produce a natural-looking tan.

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 Myst 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 Myst actually gives them a better overall tan. If you plan to use a tanning bed and the Mystic Tan booth in the same day, we recommend that you use the tanning bed first. Remember, however, that the Mystic Tan tan does not give you any protection from UV rays.

I have fair skin and have never been able to tan. Will I look tan after a Mystic Tan tanning session?
A great benefit of Mystic Tan is that it is perfect for individuals who can't or prefer not to tan conventionally.

Can I use the Mystic Tan booth if I am pregnant?
We recommend consulting with your doctor before proceeding with a Mystic Tan tanning session.

Has anyone had an allergic reaction to Mystic Tan Tanning Myst?
The components we use in our Tanning Myst have been successfully used in cosmetics and food products for decades, and are proven safe for use on the skin. If you've had previous allergic reactions to self-tanning lotions or cosmetics, you may want to do a "patch test" first. Put a small amount of Mystic Tan Tanning Myst on a small area of your skin to test for possible reactions.

What's in Mystic Tan Tanning Myst?
All Mystic Tan tanning mysts contain the following natural ingredients:

DHA - This is what produces a long-term tan. The use of DHA has been FDA-approved for decades as an external tanning agent. When applied, DHA reacts with proteins in the skin's superficial layer to form a golden brown color. Your skin begins to darken two to three hours after application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours. The color will gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun. To maintain optimal color, you'll want to tan every four to five days.

Moisturizers - These help carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promote a softer, smoother finish. Mystic Tan Tanning Myst contains 65 percent Aloe Vera, a natural moisturizer that helps skin draw moisture to the surface. Aloe Vera also softens the skin and helps smooth wrinkles.

What is the difference between of all the Tanning Mysts?
Mystic Tan is designed for customization according to your preferences and tanning needs. That’s why we’ve created multiple formulas, so you can select the one that fits you best.

Mystic Tan's BronzMyst™ formula contains Insta-Color Bronzer™, a water-soluble, brown-tinted dye that produces an instant tan. The bronzer washes off in the shower or bath, without affecting your overall tan.

Mystic Tan's ClearMyst™ formula contains no bronzer at all, so it goes on clear, yet, darkens within hours and results in an even, dark, natural-looking tan.

Premium with NutraMist™ Plus, in BronzMyst™ and ClearMyst™ formulas, hydrate skin and balance your moisture level for a deep, dark sunless tan, with minimal tanning odor.

How many Mystic Tan tanning sessions will I need to achieve the color I want?
You'll be tan after one session, but it may take additional sessions to achieve your desired color. Once you reach your ideal color, you should be able to maintain it by tanning every four to five days.

Are there ways to enhance the Mystic Tan results?

To achieve the perfect sunless tan you should always follow two simple steps: Exfoliate and Hydrate. Follow these two steps the day of or the night before you tan:

Step 1.
Exfoliate your skin in bath or shower by massaging an exfoliant gel onto the skin with a washcloth or sponge. Concentrate on rough areas such as elbows, knees and ankles, then rinse clean. This removal of dead skin cells will give you a fresh, even surface to tan, which will increase the life and evenness of your Mystic Tan.

Step 2.
Always hydrate your skin after exfoliation by using a moisturizing lotion. If desired, lotion can be applied again on the day of your tan. Applying lotion in between your Mystic Tan sessions will increase the life and luster of your tan. Avoid using lotion directly after your Mystic Tan session.

What should I wear in the Mystic Tan Booth?
Most people wear nothing. Since the room is completely private, going for an all-over tan is completely up to you. However, if you do wear a bathing suit or underwear, please note that it may become stained. The Insta-Color BronzerTM we use in our BronzMystTM is water-soluble and should wash out, but the DHA may permanently stain what you wear during the tanning session.

What happens if the Mystic Tan myst gets in my eyes?
Mystic Tan tanning myst has been thoroughly tested by a third-party lab and the results showed no eye or skin irritation. Mystic Tan tanning myst has been used in over three million tanning sessions with no adverse reactions documented.

What happens if I inhale any of the Mystic Tan myst?
While no one should purposely inhale or ingest the Mystic Tan myst, it is known that DHA (the active tanning ingredient) is a non-hazardous compound and causes no adverse reaction in moderate quantities when applied topically or even ingested. DHA has been used as a diet supplement in sports nutrition and is non-carcinogenic. Testing has further shown that DHA is less toxic than aspirin, caffeine and even common table salt. Based on our research, the maximum amount of DHA that could accidentally be ingested or breathed during a one minute Mystic Tan sunless tanning session would be .05 milligrams (equivalent to less than one grain of common table salt). Ingesting this minimal amount of DHA should pose no health risk to the consumer.

Should I cover my hair while tanning in the Mystic Tan tanning booth?
Many customers wear a disposable shower cap, provided by the salon, to keep tanning myst from getting into their hair. Other customers tan without covering their hair. The Mystic Tan tanning myst does not penetrate the hair follicle.

Are there any optional precautions I can use with the Mystic Tan booth?
When applying DHA sunless products in a spray or mist, it may be difficult to avoid exposure to eyes, lips or guard against accidental inhalation of the tanning mist. Mystic Tan, Inc. and the FDA recommends that users cover the area of the eyes with standard UV tanning eyewear, protect the lips with lip balm and use a nose filter to protect membranes in the nasal passages, as well as avoid inhaling or ingesting the product.
