Mystic spray tan!

Omg!! I love it! I have my prom today at 7pm and I got my spray tan yesterday about 4.40pm! I could immediately see results after my spray tan, during the evening I began to worry whether the tan would come out dark enough. I slept on my tan and when I woke up I was really tanned :) I am now still going brown - not orange HURRAYYYY! I got the medium with the triple tan shot with the enhancer! I have no streak marks! Be sure to shave right before your tan and exfoliate EVERY day for like a week before so your tan goes on evenly! Will deffo be getting it again its well work the money if you prepare properly!!! :) Very pleased. Oh and exfoliate your face aswel before the spray tan so that goes on evenly aswel! :)

you should have sworehed the morning after you had the spray tan. you do this because there are 2 layers. the bottom layer is the main tan and the top layer is called scum' and that needs to be gone, otherwise your tan will not look nice and it won't work as good. when you do shower, don't use shower gel or soap or anything like that, just gently pat your body and when you come out of the shower, pat yourself with a towel, don't rub because the tan will go streaky and won't look nice at all.

perfect!

I work at a tanning salon that uses the mystic tan. I myself had never done uv free tanning but ended up loving it. First time I tried a medium but didnt like the color. Next time I did the dark and it make me look nice and tan with more of a bronze hue to it. I ended uo eventually going with the light color. This gives you a nice glow without screaming face tan. If you apply the blending cream generously to your Palms you should not have the orange hand problem. As well as another trick. Place a towel under your feet and then slide the towel to the correct numbers. Leaves the bottoms of your feet Aaron clean As your palms ! Try the light color. Gets you 1-3 shades darker and leaves you with a healthy non orange looking glow. Promise you will like it!! Hope this helped.

—Guest yes i mystic

Satisfied. LOVE IT.

To all the people with negative responses...you aren't doing it right. You absolutely need to add the triple boost stuff. It completely eliminates all chances of having orangey undertones. I layed in a tanning bed for 8 minutes right before I did mystic and I am not orange at all. I love how tan I am! To the newbies: don't worry. Let your tanning salon workers help you out with which color to choose. GET TE TRIPLE BOOST. :)

Love love LOVE it!

I live in West Texas and as much as I'm outside I absolutely do NOT tan. I'm not sure where other reviewers live that it'd be so expensive but the salon I go to is only $33 for the Medium color, bronzer and enhancer! I am totally in love with Mystic Tan. My color always turns out even and fades even as well. When you have it don't use any kind of body SCRUB as it takes off the tan. I have sensitive skin and tanning beds dry me out no matter how much or what kind of lotion I use. I'm a Mystic Tan Club Member at my salon and never been happier with any other spray or self tanner!

not worth it!

mystic tan is not worth the price at all! I'm a frequent spray tan customer and have done many versa spa sessions (all shades) as well as personal spray tans. the mystic tan cost more then both, took a day to see any difference, and barely even showed a difference at that! I even got the bronzed and a medium spray. the tan was also a little unever as well. needless to say I will never go back to a mystic tan booth again.

mystic tan

Haha they call it mystic tan because it is a mystery what you will actually look like till 8 hours later. I specifically asked the girl at the tanning place how much blending cream to put on and where i said i dont want to have orange hands feet knees etc i even took my time to make sure i rubbed my cuticles and under my nails. i re read the directions on the wall and wala this morning when i woke up i had one hand white with touches of orange and the other hand looks like i put 3 od my fingers in a rustoleum can. My feet look just as bad except they are completly orange. I am so mad right now like my hands arent dry enough im going to have to go to work all day looking like a freak and then go home only to have to scrub the skin off just so i dont scare people. Mystic tan sucks.

Oxymoron

I'm happy that Mystic Has a new formula but how do you have antioxidants in combination with a new ingredient called Erythrulose that reacts to oxygen to get that brownish color? Wouldn't one cancel out the other?

—Guest Confused

Will try Anything Once

I got the medium shade for the first time yesterday. I used alot of barrier cream and altho the actual process standing in the booth etc, was very easy i'm orange so I won't be using Mystic Tan again. I can pay half the amount to St Tropez myself at home and i'd look better.

—Guest VickySmile

It was awful

I have been laying in the regular tanning bed then i tried the mystic i am orange and it was a total waste of 70 dollars !!!

—Guest Orange pumkin

Love it.

I had a girl who airbrushed me for the last couple of years, but that was expensive, so I only did it for special occasions. I decided to try Mystic, since it's cheaper. The first time I went, I didn't like it. It wore off in weird splotches, even though I exfoliated and all that. I researched it a little and someone who owned a tanning salon said there are some generics out there. So I tried a different tanning place and it looks great!! I'm sitting here 5 days after, admiring my nearly-perfect tan. I need to apply the barrier-cream lesson (use it liberally on your hands!!), but other than that it's perfect. I will say this: it's a little disconcerting when the thing is spraying. But it's perfectly safe, and you can breathe it in without dying. I have asthma and it's fine. I try not to squint my eyes, because that can leave lines around your eyes. Just gently close them. You'll get used to it. It does stink, but not as bad as chemo. Just hold your breath while it's spraying your face.

LOVE Mystic!

Okay. I'm very white. I don't tan. My body gets a little tan, MAYBE.. but it's not even tan. It just gets closer to normal body color. My face only burns. I did Mystic three days ago and LOVE it. I did level 1 and I'm really happy with it. Use more barrier cream on your fingers than you think. Glop it on. My fingers turned orange but the rest of me looks good. I left it on overnight and showered the next day. The night before- exfoliate, shower, shave and then go in the next day. I am someone who always wears jeans in the summer because I'm embarrassed of my white legs and I went out the day after to buy dresses because I don't think I'll be needing any pants this summer.

—Guest Love it

this is crazy

I am very fair skinned and recently moved to Texas. I usually look like Casper the ghost compared to the other tan people here. I decided to try the mystic, it looked great at first glance but this morning after I showered half most of the color didn't take to the back of my legs my face is dark and my knees hands feet ankles and elbow's are orange (I used the barrier cream) so I guess because of how my skin is it just decided not to take to half my body, but my face arms and shoulders look great! lmao this is ridiculous to each their own. good luck!

—Guest umpa lumpa

First time user

I decided out of nowhere to get a tan. I wish I had been a little more prepared. Advice: use lots of barrier cream, make sure to get in between toes. hold your breath, and dont freak out, the stuff tastes terrible.

—Guest Marleana

Not bad

I went today and followed all the steps. I got the light color, because i have fair skin. I used the barrier cream on the creases of my body (neck, tummy muffin lol) as well as my elbows, knees, hands and feet. It's a very subtle glow but not too orange. & It costs about the same as what religiously tanning my skin with UV rays would cost monthly, without the damage to my skin. Not bad at all.
