Mystic Tan
FAQ's
1. What is the
Mystic Tan Booth?
 The Mystic Tan™ booth is a private, self-contained unit that employs a
revolutionary spray process to apply a uniform amount of tanning solution 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 mist, dresses and exits. The result is a smooth,
natural-looking tan.
2. What
is MagneTan technology?
MagneTan™ technology is our patented process that uses the human body's own
magnetic properties to attract Mystic Tan tanning solution to every exposed
surface of the skin.
When genuine Mystic Tan tanning solution passes through the spray nozzles in
a Mystic Tan booth, the micro-particles of solution are polarized, taking on the
characteristics of “tiny magnets.” These particles adhere evenly to the skin to
create a smooth, natural-looking tan.
3. 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.
4. What should I wear in the Mystic Tan
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.
5. Will My skin be wet when i step out of
the Mystic Tan Booth
The mist 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 solution.
Toweling won’t streak your tan, and any solution that wipes onto the towel is
excess and will not effect your tan. Just towel off the same way you do when you
take a shower. Be sure to towel off completely before getting dressed
6. How long do I have to wait after a
Mystic Tan tanning session before I can shower?
We recommend that you wait a minimum of 5-7
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.
7. What happens if the Mystic Tan gets in
my eyes?
Mystic Tan tanning solution has been thoroughly tested by a third-party lab
and the results showed no eye or skin irritation. Mystic Tan tanning solution
has been used in over two million tanning sessions with no adverse reactions
documented.
8.
What happens if I inhale any of the
Mystic Tan mist?
While no one should purposely inhale or ingest the Mystic Tan mist, 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.
9. Has ANYONE HAD AN ALLERGIC
REACTION TO MYSTIC TAN TANNING SOLUTION?
The components we use in our solution 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 solution on a small area of your skin to test
for possible reactions.
10. Are there ways to enhance the Mystic
Tan results?
Keeping your skin hydrated
prior to tanning helps your skin absorb Mystic Tan tanning solution. Frequently
using moisturizer will help the tan last longer. Apply moisturizer after
showering, but not during the hours between your Mystic Tan session and your
shower.
11.
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.
12. How many times do i need to tan with the Mystic Tan tanning process to achieve
the color I want?
You want to come 2-3 times in your 1st week
to achieve your desired color and even tan, and then only once
every 5 to 7 days for maintenance.
13. 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 tan does not give you any protection from UV rays.
14. I HAVE
FAIR SKIN AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO TAN. WILL I LOOK TAN AFTER A MYSTIC
TANNING SESSION
YES. The Mystic Tan™ tanning booth was designed specifically for individuals who can't or don't want to tan
conventionally.
15. 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
16. 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.
