The Mystic Tan Tanning Myst is a patented self-tanning formulation designed especially for use in Mystic Tan Tanning Booths. This self-tanning formulation contains DHA, the active ingredient that produces the long-term tan effect. DHA has been FDA approved for decades as an external tanning agent. When applied, DHA reacts with the 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.

MangeTan 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.

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

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™ we use in our BronzMyst™ is water-soluble and should wash out, but the DHA may permanently stain what you wear during the tanning session.

The Tanning 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.

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 more than 15 million tanning sessions with no adverse reactions documented.

While no one should purposely inhale or ingest the Mystic Tan Tanning 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Keeping your skin hydrated prior to tanning helps your skin absorb Mystic Tan Tanning Myst. 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.

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.

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 do plan to use a tanning bed and the Mystic Tan booth on the same day, we recommend that you use the tanning bed first. Remember, however, that a Mystic Tan does not give you any protection from UV rays.

The Mystic Tan tanning booth was designed specifically for individuals who can’t or prefer not to tan conventionally.

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 Mystic Tan Tanning Myst. Mystic Tan, Inc. and the FDA recommend 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.

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 bronzers may transfer to your clothing. Since the bronzer is completely water-soluble, it will wash out.

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.

We recommend consulting with your doctor before proceeding with a Mystic Tan tanning session.
