Answer: 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 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 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 mist, dresses, and exits. The result is a uniform, natural-looking tan in under five minutes.

Answer: 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 booths nozzles, the particles of solution are polarized, taking on the characteristics of tiny magnets. MagneTan technology then uses the body's own magnetic properties to attract the solution particles to all exposed surfaces of the skin.

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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.

Question:How long do I have to wait after a Mystic Tan tanning session before I can shower?

Answer: 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.

Question: Do I need to cover my hair while tanning in the Mystic Tan tanning booth?

Answer: Many consumers wear disposable shower caps (provided by the Salon) to keep the solution from getting in their hair. Other consumers tan without covering their hair. The solution will not penetrate the hair follicles.

Question: Has anyone had an allergic reaction to the Mystic Tan tanning solution?

Answer: 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.

Question: Do I need to hold my breath during the Mystic Tan tanning session?

Answer: 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.

Answer: 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 streaking of the DHA.

Question: How long after a Mystic Tan tanning session before i can put my clothes back on?

Answer: 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.

Question: How many times do i need to tan with the Mystic Tan tanning process to achieve the color I want?

Answer: 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.

Question: If I tan in the Mystic Tan tanning booth, can I also tan in tanning beds and in the sun?

Answer: 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 tan does not give you any protection from UV rays.

Question: Because of my fair skin, I have never been able to tan before. Will the Mystic Tan tanning booth give me a tan?

Answer: YES. The Mystic Tan™ tanning booth was designed specifically for individuals who can't or don't want to tan conventionally. A Mystic Tan user is not only getting a great tan, but a great skin treatment as well.

GETTING READY
Before Coming into SunDance Tanning to do your Mystic Tan

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.

Specially formulated Mystic Tan products work in conjunction with the Mystic Tan process.

The Mystic Tan Process

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 Bronzer^TM we use in our BronzMyst^TM 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.

After Your Mystic Tan

Will my skin be wet when I step out of the Mystic Tan tanning booth?

The myst applied in the Mystic Tan tanning booth is moist and very fine. Tiny droplets remaining on your arms or legs after the session are easily removed by toweling dry. Don't worry about wiping off the myst. Toweling won't streak your tan, and any myst that wipes onto the towel is excess and will not affect your tan. Just towel off the same way you do when you take a shower. Be sure to towel off completely before getting dressed.

How long should I wait after a tanning session before showering?
To give the DHA enough time to fully set, we recommend waiting a minimum of 4 hours after tanning. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan. If you tanned using BronzMyst, the Insta-Color Bronzer will wash off in the shower, but the DHA that creates your longer-lasting tan will remain.

Does Mystic Tan tanning myst have any smell after contact with my skin?

Some people notice a slight starchy smell on their skin a few hours after a tanning session. This is simply the DHA reacting to proteins in your skin and it fades away fairly quickly.

Will swimming affect my tan?

Swimming in chlorinated water or salt water can fade the Mystic Tan results, cause possible streaking and will diminish the length of your tan. However, normal activities such as bathing, showering or physical activities will not affect the quality of the tan.

How quickly can I get dressed after a Mystic Tan tanning session?

Once you've towel dried, there's little chance of any bronzer or DHA getting on your clothes. If you perspire soon after your Mystic Tan tanning session, some of the bronzer may transfer to your clothing. Since the bronzer is completely water-soluble it will wash out.
