What is the Mystic Tan booth?
The Mystic TanTM booth is a private, self-contained unit that 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 myst, dresses and exits. The result is a smooth, natural-looking tan.

What's in Mystic Tan tanning myst?
All Mystic Tan tanning mysts contain the following:
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: helps carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promotes a softer, smoother finish. Mystic Tan tanning myst contains Aloe Vera, a natural moisturizer that helps skin draw moisture to the surface. Aloe Vera also softens the skin and helps smooth wrinkles.
Mystic Tan's BronzMystTM formula also contains Insta-Color BronzerTM, 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 ClearMystTM formula contains no bronzer at all, so it goes on clear, yet, darkens within hours and results in an even, dark, natural-looking tan.

What is MagneTan technology?
MagneTanTM 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 genuine Mystic Tan tanning myst passes through the spray nozzles in a Mystic Tan booth, the micro-particles of myst are polarized, taking on the characteristics of "tiny magnets." These particles adhere evenly to the skin to create a smooth, natural-looking tan

How can I get the most from my MyMyst Sunless Tan?
The steps you take before and after tanning can help you acheive a long-lasting, natural looking tan. Before you tan, you should exfoliate and moisture your skin. If desired, lotion can be applied again on the day of your tan. Avoid using lotion directly after your Mystic Tan session. After tanning, Wait 4-6 hours before showering or swimming, moisturize daily, especially after showering, and avoid exfoliating until you're ready to tan again.

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.

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.
Back to Top
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.
Back to Top
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.
Back to Top
Will my skin look orange?
Not at all. 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.
Back to Top
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.
