Glo Tanning Studio - Frequently Asked Questions for Mystic Tan

   1.    What is the Mystic Tan Booth?
    The Mystic Tan™ booth is a full-body, DHA tanning process that utilizes
MagneTan™ technology, a revolutionary process that allows the booth to
    apply a uniform amount of tanning solution to all parts of the body.

    When the special Mystic Tan™ solution passes through the booth’s nozzles,
    the particles of solution are polarized, taking on the characteristics of “tiny magnets.
    ” MagneTan™ technology uses the body's own magnetic properties to attract the
    solution particles to all surfaces of the skin.

    When the tanning process is finished, the consumer simply steps out of the booth,
    towels-off any excess mist, dresses, and exits. The result is a uniform,
    natural-looking tan in under five minutes.

    2.   What is MagneTan Technology?
   MagneTan™ tanning services are featured in the revolutionary Mystic Tan™ tanning booths.

    MagneTan™ tanning services offer a unique, revolutionary process that allows
    the Mystic Tan™ booth to apply a uniform amount of tanning solution to all parts of the body.
    When the special Mystic Tan™ tanning solution passes through the booths nozzles,
    the particles of solution are polarized, taking on the characteristics of tiny magnets.
    MagneTansm technology then uses the body's own magnetic properties to attract the
    solution particles to all exposed surfaces of the skin.

    The end result is a uniform and natural-looking, golden brown tan!

    3.    Will it turn me orange?
    No! In the past, self-tanners gave many individuals an unnatural orange glow and
    caused streaking. Most of these undesirable results were caused by improper or
    ineffective application techniques. Applying creams and lotions by hand usually
    results in excessive amounts being absorbed in the skin. Excessive amounts
    applied in a single application can give an orange glow to the skin.
    Unnatural dark spots may also appear in dry or thick skinned areas
    such as elbows, knees, and knuckles because these areas have a tendency to
    absorb more of the cream. Hand held spray-on applicators tend to run and cause
    streaking. The MagneTan™ technology used to apply the Mystic Tan™
    tanning solution assures that all areas of the body get a uniform coating of the
    solution in the exact quantity required to produce a golden brown tan.

    4.    What should I wear in the tanning booth?
    Many people do not wear anything. The room is completely private
    and if you would like to tan in the nude it is perfectly acceptable.
    However, if you do wear a bathing suit, underwear, or anything else,
    please be aware that whatever you wear may be stained.
    The bronzer we use for your initial color is water-soluble and should
    wash out of anything you wear, but the DHA applied may cause
    permanent stains on any clothing you may wear inside the booth.

    5.    Will I be wet when I step out of the Mystic Tan booth?
    The mist applied in the Mystic Tan™ tanning booth is very fine.
    By the time you step out of the booth most of the mist will have
    dried, but there may still be a few moist areas. You may see
    small droplets clinging to the body hair on your arms or legs.
    This remaining moisture can be removed quite easily by toweling
    dry. Do not worry about wiping off the solution with the towel.
    Toweling does not streak the tan, and any solution that comes off
    on the towel was excess and will not effect your tan. Just towel
    off the same way you do when you take a shower. Be sure you
    have toweled all moist areas before dressing.

    6.    How long do I have to wait after a tanning session before I can shower?
    We recommend that you wait a minimum of 4 hours after tanning
    to give the DHA enough time to fully set. If you shower earlier,
    you may diminish the intensity of the tan. When you do shower
    the initial tan created by the water-soluble bronzer will wash off,
    but the DHA will remain and create your long term tan.

    7.    What happens if the Mystic Tan mist gets in my eyes?
    There is nothing in the mist that will harm your eyes.

8.   Do I need to cover my hair while tanning in the Mystic Tan tanning booth?
       Many consumers wear disposable shower caps (provided by the Salon) to
    keep the solution from getting in their hair. Other consumers tan without
    covering their hair. The solution will not penetrate the hair follicles.

9.    Has anyone had an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in the Mystic Tan tanning solution?
    All of the components of the Mystic Tan tanning solution have been used
    in cosmetics and food products for decades and have proven to be safe
    for use on the skin. If you have had previous allergic reactions to
    self tanning lotions or cosmetics you may want to do a "patch test"
    by putting a small amount of the Mystic Tan solution on a small area of
    the skin to test for possible reactions.

    10. Do I need to hold my breath during the tanning session?
    We recommend that you hold your breath during the actual misting process,
    which lasts 12 to 18 seconds. We make this recommendation because most
    individuals would prefer not to breathe in the mist, even though there is
    nothing in it that would cause any harm if you did breathe it in. If you have
    a history of asthma or other respiratory illnesses we do not recommend that
    you tan in the Mystic Tan™ tanning booth until consulting with your physician.

11. Will the components of the Mystic Tan solution make my skin have an unpleasant smell?
    Some consumers have commented that they noticed a
    "starchy" smell on their skin after tanning, but it is
    usually not noticeable to others around them.

12. Are there ways to enhance the Mystic Tan results?
    Yes, applying a water based moisturizer prior to tanning helps the
    skin absorb the Mystic Tan tanning solution. Using a moisturizer
    frequently will help the tan last longer. You should not apply any
    moisturizers or lotions to the skin after tanning until the DHA has
    had time to set, usually 4 to 6 hours. Certain types of moisturizers
    or lotions applied during this period could cause the
    streaking of the DHA.

13. Can I go swimming after tanning in the Mystic Tan booth?
    You should not swim or shower for a minimum of 4 hours after tanning
    in the Mystic Tan booth. Swimming in chlorinated water at any time
    can bleach the Mystic Tan and possibly cause streaking.

    14. How long after a Mystic Tan tanning session before I can put my clothes back on?
    Once you have towel dried there is little chance of the bronzer or DHA
    getting on your clothes. If you pursue any strenuous physical activity
    after your Mystic Tan™ tanning session, perspiration may cause some
    of the bronzer to transfer to your clothing. Since the bronzer is
    completely water-soluble it will wash out.

15. How many times do I need to tan with the Mystic Tan tanning process to achieve the color I want?
    You will be tan after one session, but it may take a additional session or two
    to achieve your desired color. Once you reach the color you desire you
    should be able to maintain it by tanning every four to five days.

    16. If I tan in the Mystic Tan tanning booth, can I also tan in tanning beds and in the sun?
    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 yo any protection from UV rays.

17. Because of my fair skin and have never been able to tan before. Will the Mystic Tan tanning booth give me a tan?
    Yes. The Mystic Tan™ tanning booth was designed specifically
    for individuals who can't or don't want to tan conventionally.

    18. What is in the Mystic Tan tanning solution?
    The Mystic Tan™ tanning solution has three components:

    1. The bronzer is a water-soluble dye designed to produce an instant tan.
        The brown bronzer will wash off in the shower or bath but will not effect your overall tan.

    2. The DHA produces a long-term tan. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with proteins in the skins
        superficial layer to form a golden brown color.
        It begins to darken 2 to 3 hours after application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours.
        The DHA tan will begin to gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun.
        To maintain optimal color, you should tan every 4 to 5 days.

    3. The Aloe Vera helps to carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promotes a softer, smoother finish.
        The Mystic Tan¨ tanning solution contains more than 65% stabilized Aloe Vera liquid. Aloe Vera is
        a natural moisturizer that helps the skin draw moisture to the surface. It softens the skin and helps
        smooth wrinkles.

    19. Can I use the Mystic Tan booth if I am pregnant?
We suggest that you consult your Doctor regarding this matter.
