    Default Quick Mystic Tan question

    How long before it reaches critical mass? As in, how long until I'm the tannest I will get?

    I just got it done 30 minutes ago, and got the level 3 done - twice as much of the mist! I wanna be a hot dog SOOOO BAD.

    I think it's about 4 hours. Sometimes it seems to take more like 12 though.

    ive come to find the mystic doesnt get me that tan. i always did level 3 with mediocre results.

    i have started doing the airbrush with 3 coats. it gets me the tannest.

    Sleep on it! It'll smell like shit but if you let it REALLY seep into your skin you will be a hot dog in the morning LOL and I find that the color stays far longer than if you were to shower the same day. 6 hours I'd say to reach your peak, but I still recommend sleeping in it.

    If you want to get super dark, get an airbrush tan. It's so much better than Mystic, imo.

    But yeah, the best thing with both is to leave it on overnight, don't wear any tight clothes, put on perfume, lotion, etc. until you shower. And when you do shower, just lightly rub yourself with soap. Using a loofah will make it come off faster.

    +1 on sleeping with it on. I use VersaSpa (which is newer than Mystic but the same concept) and if I do it and don't shower til after I've slept, I get super dark & it lasts longer.

    I just got home from work, and I'm near my desired hot dog shade. I am totally showering, though. I smell funky.

    does the mystic go on your face as well? I want to try it but would be worried about breaking out from the chemicals and stuff..

    ^ I break out pretty easily, and as long as I do the mystic in the morning or early afternoon, shower in the evening, and put clearisil or something similar on before bed, I'm fine. You have to wait four hours to shower, otherwise it just rinses off.

    I work in a tanning salon and we have the the mystic tan. it stops developing after sixteen hours...most people wait about eight hours before showering though. If you don't think you're dark enough do the spray two days in a row as it keeps getting you progressively darker. Just don't do it more than that or your color will look unnatural.

    ^ thank you so much! That's very helpful.

    I work Thursday-Saturday, so I guess I should tan on Wednesday and Thursday for the darkest (but still natural) look for the weekend?

    ^^^

    One thing kind of off topic I learned the hard way about Mystic Tan is DONT go swimming in chlorine!! I got the tan for about a month and loved it (I went like twice a week) then hung out with my family in AZ in a hot tub for about two hours...when I got out I looked like I had leporsy, the mystic tan had coroded away because of the chlorine.......Nobody told me that either while I was getting it done. Jerks. I was able to loofah it off with some exfoliater in a few days though.

    Yes, chlorine+Mystic = enemies. Stay away from products containing mineral oil/petroleum or citrus as well! Check your face wash and try to use ones without acids (salicylic, or however you spell it and the stuff commonly found in washes for problem skin) as those will also strip your sunless tan.

    Some people will actually do the Mystic at night before close, and then come again early the next morning to have them layer the most effectively. Those are our super-devoted spray tanners, though. =)

    Another quick tip: When you exfoliate, make sure you really focus on elbows, knees, ankles, and suprisingly - your neck. I've seen so many people look crazy in subsequent days because they didn't exfoliate properly...their necks get splotchy like someone covered in mud tried strangling them.

    Another important point is Vit C doesn't just lighten your tan or cause patchiness.

    Vit C + DHA = Oompa Loompa

    Don't put anything containing Vit C on before or while your tan is still developing.

    It comes right out of the sheets after washing. But, I always wear yoga pants and a big t shirt , preferrably longsleeved so I dont get the bed all messy.
