Does anyone REALLY like these things??

[light my tiki 72]

I don't know about anyone else but i really don't like the spray tanners. Maybe its just me but i would rather take the time to tan in a bed than have a fake orange coating for about 4-5 days...

[boobrandt]

I like them, but prefer the beds. I rarely do a spray on tan, but once in a while I will.

[Sc0tt]

I don't think they give you an orange glow. unless you're a dark skinned type 4-whatevers the highest you go, you can look at anyones tan and call it "orange". If you're a red head and get the darkest mystic available, then yeah your gunna look like an orange....

[BrownJen]

I haven't tried the spary on tans yet, but I do plan to try one sometime soon. I'm curious to see for myself how good they work.

[SOCALTAN]

I like the spray on tan. The higher the level of spray, (the darkest) the more orange you will look. Do a lower level more often till you get the color you want, then maintain it weekly.

[dksxytan]

I just read in a very popular tanning industry that the FDA is looking at banning some spray tan booths because the solution is entering the lungs which can be deadly!

[Sc0tt]

I think I'm going to try one with my mom this upcoming spring....hopefully she'll be buying since it is $$

[Anya1976]

i never looked orange.it totally deepend my tan and i was sooooooo dark

[Baked]

Dark Sexy Tan.....wrong, wrong, wrong. Post the trade mag, page and paragraph where you read that. The FDA says DHA is safe for all external applications and IF anyone is concerned about inhilation or ingestion there are protective measures you can take. One is hold your breath and shut your mouth and eyes. The FDA has NEVER said DHA could be deadly. They actually say that since DHA has not been specifically tested for internal ingestions, that protective measure should be taken to avoid contact with mucous membranes. Again....hold your breath and shut your mouth and eyes.

[Sc0tt]

yeah i dont think DHA could kill you. just hold your breath and close your eyes

[crazy44]

I just want to know how they clean those out,

[BeautifulTragedy]

I don't like the way the spray on tan looks on me, however it looks very nice on other people. I guess it's just skin color~ I personally like to go tanning, it makes me feel good

[dancetan4ever]

DHA is just a simple sugar, it shouldnt be harmful to any body parts or anything...

[white2dark]

I would much rather lay in a tanning bed than spray on lotion that usually turns orange anyway.

[texasblonde]

Back in the days when my skin was translucent I used spray-on tan (Mystic in particular) for special occasions. Looking at the difference in skin color now that I use the beds and comparing it to the pictures of what I got in the spray-on, there really isn't too much of a difference. My skin tone from tanning definitely looks better, but the spray-on doesn't look orange or unnatural. So, yeah, I liked it as an alternative to tanning.

[wannatan]

I really liked the mystic tan when I tried it once, it didn't look orangy at all, it looked so natural. The only shame about these spray-on tans is that they don't last long... I wish they lasted for at least a couple of weeks! Too expensive to maintain otherwise. And that's why I like tanning in the booth, it's real and it lasts just a taaad longer.

[pastytanbabe]

Not everyone can get in tanning beds. My choices are sunless are ghostly white. Two Mist-On Tans a week and I have a dark tan. But I really have to be careful, any goof up and my ghostly skin shows through. And no workouts until after I shower. Its work, but I'm getting adicted to having color.

[SexyKitty]

I tried the Mystic once and it was okay but for the price they charge it should last alot longer. Mine only lasted 5 days I think. Maybe with a tan from the beds as well it would last longer. I was a little orange from it but it was nice except for my face peeling. I still prefere the tanning beds though. The Mytic is to expensive for me to keep up 2x a week. I would if I had the money. But its like $30 a session.

[Tpsyduck]

I've never tried the spray tan, though my salon now offers them.. Healthy glow... and it's a spray tan she applies to ya... But I'll stay with her beds, and the upgrade bed and booth she's getting in

[boobrandt]

I still like them but I prefer the beds.

I've never tried them before but I really don't like the idea of a spray on tan. I like the beds and they help me to relax. I enjoy my time there.

[SunKissedTanning]

If you go to an airbrush tanning technician who is properly trained, you will NOT turn orange like you can in booths. I have used several different solutions, and I can guarantee you that no one I've sprayed with my current solution has EVER looked the slightest bit orange. Find out what solution the booth is using (it is the same as what airbrush tanners use). That's where the orange comes from. Even the palest people turn brown with what I use, not orange. I'd be out of business if they were turning orange! And airbrush tans can last up to 10 days if you care for them properly. It's a wonderful alternative for people who cannot use tanning beds, but it also works WITH tanning beds. They don't have to be separate. I actually work in a tanning bed salon.

[boobrandt]

gotta stick with beds and spray on booths. don't want tan lines and only strip for ppl i'm dating or my gyno.

[Sc0tt]

I might try one of these soon. I'm going to as my mom if I can try one over break. They are like $25, but I'll have a lot of money after break so I want to try one

[OUTrageouslyTAN]

I love the Mystic tan..it looks great on me, doesn't look as orange like sunless lotions. I might as well use the Mystic booth cuz it's $30 a session which I get for free and i'm saving my skin at the same time so it works for me.

[wannatan]

It depends... professional applications like St Tropez, Au Courant and Mystic in Salons do look impressive in my opinion, although self-applicated spray tans I find less effective and prefer tanning in booths. I would do the professional ones, but because of their standard, they are far more expensive.

[CariFairy]

Pasty tan babe I am a skin type 1 I am irish with natural red hair. I was very very ghostly white.
Have you tried tanning bed? I don't tan my face at all, just my body. If you start out at 2 and 3 minutes you won't burn inb a high pressure. I love it now. Mystic tans was too expensive. I had to get it every 4 days due to my workouts and swimming.

[Helweh]

Mystic tan is was ok for me because i tan in the beds as well but my poor friend turned orange all over it just looked really weird on here but mine was fine. i guess it just depends on your skin

[Summers Tan]

I have put many light skinned/type 1's in a high pressure bed for the full 24 minute without seeing any of them burn.2-3 minutes in a high pressure is a waste of a session.

[Shellby2003]

I have never had a spray tan. I was too scared to try it. They call it a Mystic Tan here, is that what you know it as? I thought I would turn orange, so I turned down the offer. I like tanning, but I do worry about the skin aging I'll have later in life.

[Summers Tan]

There are different types of spray on tans.Mystic is one brand of booth that is available.

[spike500]

I personally like love the MagicTan. They have really great products and now they have a new aerosol for home use. It's great for my face and neck because you don't need to rub it in -- just spray on. Those of you who want to extend your spray on tan should try the MagicTan Extend -- it really works.

[tanfastictan]

I too love the MagicTan. I'm so thankful for this machine and the wonderful revenue it has brought to my business. We have a full service salon and this was the final touch in making it a "full" service salon. The hand held are just too iffy since you don't know if the attendant had a bad night or is having a bad day, or if they'll even show up when needed. I'd recommend this booth to anyone.

[italiangirl79]

I love mystic tan. I have always got great color from it after just 1 session. it's not at all orange. I also like that it takes a lot less time than applying a self-tanner. I just HATE that it costs so much! It costs about 20-25 bucks when u can get 3 or 4 applications out of a $10 bottle of self-tanner. Maybe mystic tan will cost less one day (a girl can dream).

[Kay]

I havent tried it yet...but after reading some of the posts on it... i'm thinking i probably wont. See how much y'all effect my life? lol i swear! this site makes most of my beauty decissions

[Kissedbythesun]

I tried the mystic and it is ok for something quick. It wont protect your skin from sunburn. I had trouble getting it even around my ankles and it had a funny smell for a couple days.

[ExoTicAsiAnMixx]

it's not worth $25 .00 a pop

[Summers Tan]

That would depend on how much money you have,I guess.

[TanasaurusRex]

I haven't tried Mystic yet because it's super popular at my salon and I can never get in! The salon has a great deal though....with my regular tanning package I can use the Mystic "upgrade" for just $10.

i agree with that! but i only pay $10 per visit. i wouldn't make it a habit but for 10 bucks, i can do that.

[darkerplus]

Mist-On has worked great for me. It works especially well after a bed
session.

[dksxytan]

FYI It was in Looking Fit magazine, my boss had it posted up here for a while but she took it with her to keep at home. Inhaling anything, even a simple sugar, is NOT GOOD FOR YOUR LUNGS

[punkie18]

well of course inhaling stuff isnt good for our lungs
but look how polluted the world is we inhale stuff we dont even know were inhaling
DHA will not kill us or make us sick its no worse the the polluted air we breath everyday

There is alot of controversy concerning this right now.

[California Tan]

Msytic tan is pretty good, it looks good on me cuz im pretty dark, but dont do it if you dont have a base tan.

[BronzeGlowAlicia]

I never tried it but I don't see why you would spend $50 on something that is going to last a wk.

[southernbelle]

I think Paris Hilton uses these [but she lays in a bed too].. and I've always liked her tan.. and I think I'm going to try it out for a cruise I'm going on

[texasrose]

I tried mystic tan twice...the first time it looked AWESOME! I got so many compliments on my tan and people kept asking if I'd been outside a lot. I went again the next week and I don't know what happened but it was a total disaster! I was still in high school where we all wore uniforms, so I got to walk around with my orangey legs all exposed and my hands were freakish, I kept tucking them into my sweatshirt anytime I could (and it was hot outside haha)

[Lanie]

She said bed tan, not bad tan!!! Bed tan, bed tan, bed tan, like a uv tanning bed. Not bad tan!

I disagree, I have many clients who are ghostly pale and get excellent results with the Mystic. I think it looks good on all skin types.

[havnfun]

I worked with a girl who got the spray on tan in a booth and I did not like it at all. It was blotchy and uneven and not natural at all. She was very fair and it got somewhat better after a few times, but the results were just not that great.

[TanasaurusRex]

I like the Mystic. I used to tan every other day, but now I've cut back to once or twice a week, just enough to maintain my natural color and I use the Mystic every 6 days or so.

I'm fair skinned and I have a hard time getting great color from beds. I have a base tan, but Mystic definitely helps darken and fill out my color and I have never had bad results.

[ExoTicAsiAnMixx]

their not worth it in my opinion

[x0bodyshotx0]

i dont think its worth it either

[Summers Tan]

I think it depends on your financial situation & what they cost.Personally,I think $25 each is too much.But I will pay up to $15.for one,on special.It's worth it to me to be tan for a week to ten days if I don't have the time to develop a tan.I gots to have color!!

[LucyStrikes]

As for DHA being safe or not.. It's been around since the 60s, and FDA approved since then.. but you have to think that if someone was going to die from DHA, they would have died already.

[babydoll]

Not really, spray on is ok but I would rather get a real tan. Now if I could not tan for some reason I would diffent use a spray on tan, Got to have color!

[sunlvnbabe]

Most people that use the mystic here are extremely fair and have a very hard time achieving color from the beds. They enjoy the fact that it only takes them 5 minutes in and out the door. And it last for a week, so they only need to come once a week or so instead of every other day. As far as price goes, the solution we buy is very expensive as is the booth, that is why the cost of a session ranges from 25-30 dollars. But most salons offer package deals, our packages range anywhere from 3 for $64.95 all the way up to 30 for $300.00
Most people buy packages as it is cheaper for them in the long run.

[summergirl]

i would rather lay in a relaxing bed a few times a week then have a coating of sunless tanner on. i do use sunless tanners on my face when i need a quick color boost

[Summers Tan]

I used to think that,too.Until I got did one when I got a tattoo & then I got too busy to tan & wanted some color.Really,it's much easier than tanning.I am really missing tanning,though.I've been on antibiotics this week so haven't been able to.

[ladyboss]

I came close to trying one and than I chickened out, I know that I wouldn't rub-off correctly and I would be all streaky. I have seen some people come out looking really good and others looking horrible. It's something that definately takes some practice to get it right. I know with sunless tanners if you are already really dark they will turn you orange....been there, done that so now I'm just paranoid about trying the Mystic.

[Summers Tan]

Ladyboss,you have got to try it!!Even bonnie has now!!

[Bonnie]

Yes, Ladyboss, even me! It's worth the effort to see what you think. It took me months to get up the courage, but it was sort of cool. I'm not used to a noticeable color change in only minutes. I think I will only do it once in a while.

My tattoo is now almost invisible! LOL!
