Before Visiting the Tanning Salon

How can I be sure I’m getting an Authentic Mystic Tan™ Experience?

• Only salons offering Mystic Tan™ Tanning Myst in a Mystic Tan™ booth provide the Authentic Mystic Tan™ experience. Some providers choose to compromise this experience by putting other solutions in the Mystic Tan™ booth.
• Mystic Tan™ Tanning Myst is formulated specifically for the Mystic Tan™ booth.
• Only Authentic Mystic Tan™ Tanning Myst gives you a consistently even, natural-looking tan.
• To ensure you’re getting the Authentic experience, look for this dated "Certified Authentic Mystic Tan™ Partner" logo on the window and booth at your location.

Are there ways to enhance the Mystic Tan™ results?

To achieve the perfect sunless tan you should always follow two simple steps: Exfoliate and Hydrate . Follow these two steps the day of or the night before you tan:

Step 1

Exfoliate your skin in bath or shower by massaging an exfoliant gel onto the skin with a washcloth or sponge. Concentrate on rough areas such as elbows, knees and ankles, then rinse clean. This removal of dead skin cells will give you a fresh, even surface to tan, which will increase the life and evenness of your Mystic Tan™. Try MysticReady™ Exfoliating Body Wash.

Step 2

Always hydrate your skin after exfoliation by using a moisturizing lotion. Applying lotion in between your Mystic Tan™ sessions will increase the life and luster of your tan. Avoid using lotion directly after your Mystic Tan™ session.

Specially formulated Mystic Tan™ products work in conjunction with the Mystic Tan™ process and are available in fine locations .  Try HyperMoist™ Instant Moisturizing Lotion or for an even longer-lasting tan, try MysticLife™ Tan Extending Lotion.
