| Q: |
1. How does the mystic tan
work? |
| A: |
The Mystic Tan booth utilizes a spray-on process that applies
an even layer of sunless tanning solution to the entire body. The
solution is composed of DHA and Aloe Vera.
The DHA is the component that creates the long-term tan color. DHA
is a simple molecule that reacts with proteins and amino acids in the skin's
outermost layer to form a golden brown (tan) color. The skin will
begin to darken 2 to 3 hours after application and will reach its peak
color approximately 24 hours after application. The tan will last
approximately 5-7 days. The aloe vera is a liquid moisturizer that
comprises over 65% of the solution. After tanning, it is recommended
to wait at least 4 hours before showering to give the solution ample time
to be completely absorbed by the skin.

2. What are the three
tanning levels? |
| A: |
The three tanning levels are essentially darkness levels.
Level 1 will spray the tanner for a total of 24 seconds, Level 2 will spray
for 27 seconds, and Level 3 will spray for 36 seconds. The tanner
can choose the desired level. As the tanner increases in levels,
the skin will get more solution applied to it, creating a slightly darker
tan.
|
| Q: |
3. How is the solution applied
evenly into the skin? |
| A: |
The Mystic Tan booth uses a patented magnetan technology
that ensures the solution is applied evenly. As the solution passes
through the booth's nozzles, the particles of solution are magnetized,
taking on characteristics of tiny magnets. The body's own magnetic
properties attract the solution to all exposed surfaces of the skin.

| Q: |
4. Is there anything I need
to do to prepare before tanning? What do I need to be aware of? |
| A: |
Before tanning, it isrecommended to exfoliate your skin.
This is not required, but it will ensure that the solution is applied to
the cleanest layer of skin. TO RECEIVE THE BEST RESULTS FROM THE
MYSTIC TAN:
1. WAIT AT LEAST 4 HOURS TO SHOWER
AFTER TANNING.
2. DO NOT MOISTURIZE OR SHAVE
YOUR SKIN WITHIN 12 HOURS BEFORE TANNING AND AFTER TANNING AS
CERTAIN TYPES
OF SHAVING CREAMS AND MOISTURIZERS MAY CONTAIN OILS THAT MAY PREVENT THE
MYSTIC SOLUTION
FROM BEING APPLIED EVENLY INTO THE SKIN.
3. MOISTURIZING YOUR SKIN DAILY
AFTER THE 12 HOUR PERIOD WILL HELP PREVENT YOUR SKIN FROM
DRYING OUT
AND THE TAN FROM WEARING OFF UNEVEN.
4. FACTORS THAT CAUSE YOUR SKIN CELLS
TO SHED AND REPLACE SUCH AS EXFOLIANTS AND CHLORINE
FROM SWIMMING POOLS
WILL CAUSE THE TAN TO WEAR OFF FASTER.
FOLLOWING THESE TIPS WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR TAN IS APPLIED
EVENLY AND WILL LAST ITS MAXIMUM POTENTIAL.

| Q: |
5. Will the solution turn me
orange? |
| A: |
NO. Unlike self
tanners, the mystic solution is not a cosmetic dye. Applying self
tanning creams will cause streaking and an orange color because excessive
amounts are absorbed into the skin. The mystic tan booth will ensure
that an even layer of solution is applied onto the skin through its Magnetan
technology.
|
| Q: |
6. What should I wear in the
Mystic booth? |
| A: |
Many people don't wear anything. The room is completely
private. If you do wear a bathing suit or article of clothing, the
DHA contained in the solution may cause permanent stains if it is sprayed
directly onto the clothing. A disposable shower cap is provided to
the keep the solution out of your hair. The mystic solution will
not penetrate the hair follicle; therefore, it will not color or damage
the hair.
|
| Q: |
7. Will I be wet when I step
out of the booth? |
| A: |
There may be a little of the mist still on the skin after
stepping out of the booth if it has not dried yet. It is not necessary
to air dry or rub in the solution. Any excess solution can be wiped
off with provided towels just like you would wipe off when you get out
of the shower.
|
| Q: |
8. Is the Mystic solution safe? |
| A: |
All of the components of the mystic solution have been used
in cosmetics and food products for decades and have been proven to be safe
for use on the skin. There is nothing in the solution that will harm
the eyes. Most individuals prefer to hold their breath during the
actual misting process even though there is nothing in the solution that
would cause any harm if you did breathe it in. We recommend to consult
your physician before using the mystic tan booth if you have a history
of asthma or if you have any questions or concerns about the solution or
process.
|
| Q: |
9. Will the solution give my
skin an unpleasant smell? |
| A: |
Some customers have commented that they noticed a starchy
smell on their skin for a brief period of time right after tanning, but
it is usually not noticeable to others around them.
|
| Q: |
10. Will the solution stain
my clothes? |
| A: |
Once you have towel dried, there is little chance that the
DHA will stain your clothes.
|
| Q: |
11. If I tan in the mystic tan booth,
can I also tan in UV beds and in the sun? |
| A: |
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.
