Will it make me look like an Oompa Loompa?

Oh, Mystic, we all love to hate you. We've seen that episode of Friends where Ross does the Mystic tan 2 times in one day and forgets to turn around. We've seen pictures of Snooki looking more like a cheese ball and less like meat ball. Yet, we love you. You make us look nice and tan in less than a full day when our busy schedules don't allow us to get into the sun.

Let us tell you the answers to all of your most common questions about the Mystic Tan:

Will I be orange? The honest answer to this is probably not. We feel pretty comfortable in saying that you won't be orange, but every skin type is different. 99% of the people who don't like the Mystic is because they feel they get too much color too quickly. It's like a mental thing ... "but 4 hours ago I was see through, and now I look like I've spent the last week on the beach - I MUST look unnatural!" But you don't, we promise. We would tell you, that's how we are, and then we would tell you little tips and tricks on how to get that excess Mystic off quicker.

What you think you look like:

What you really look like:

Will I streak? As long as you don't put on anything the day of doing your Mystic Tan, and you follow our directions, then you won't. Shaving cream is a huge No-No (oils to make your skin soft and shiney also block the Mystic Tan absorbtion). You shouldn't use conditioner on your legs either. Yes, we know, it makes the shave so much less stressful to have something on your legs, but just this once use plain soap! Please, for the love of God, exfoliate with a loofah sponge and not with anything other than that. We just want you to sluff the dry skin off, not make it have a healthy glow to it as well. And please, please, PLEASE don't put any lotion on your skin. We know, your skin is dry, but we have something that you can use in place of your daily moisturizer that is compatable with the Mystic Tan!


How long before I can take a shower? At least 4-6 hours, but if you can please sleep in it. It will only get darker the longer it will sit on your skin through 12 hours.

How long does it last? Well, let's be honest. If you have super dry skin, it will probably only last 4 days if you don't maintain it properly. For the lucky ones out there who don't have dry skin it can last up to 7 days without any extra maintance. Lucky for you, we have tons of products at Salon Tropics to help your Mystic Tan last longer.

Will it stain my clothes? No. Short and sweet. Yes, you may have some transfer, but all of it will wash out when you do your laundry. Don't want to see the transfer? Wear dark under garments. Oh, and if you don't want smiley faces under your boobs, you probably don't want to wear an underwire bra. And if you don't want panty lines, wear a thong or something loose around your hips. And you don't want a flip flop tan line? Go straight home and take off your shoes, don't do anywhere else for the rest of the day! Some things are just unavoidable, but since you can't get wet or sweat for 4-12 hours after doing a Mystic Tan (and those areas tend to sweat more) you may not be able to avoid that. But, since you're a busy person and probably can't take the WHOLE day off when you do a Mystic Tan, we have a product that is great for that!

What do I wear in the Mystic Tan? Nothing. Be free for 45 seconds of your life! No one will be in there with you, so no one will be able to see you dancing around in your birthday suit while you're getting ready for the Mystic. If you still aren't comfortable wearing nothing in the Mystic Tan, just remember that whatever you have on will leave a tan line, so make sure you plan in advance (if you're wearing a strapless dress, don't come in wearing a string bikini. And make sure if you're using a bandeau top that your dress with cover any tan line you may have!)

Hayden, we love you, but really? Tan lines?
Don't make this mistake!
