I have done several Mystic Tans- LOVE them for the first few days, and then when it starts wearing off it gets wierd looking. Mine also would rub off on my bra straps, didn't like it.

Let me know what you think!!! Oh and Celestu make sure you go a few times a month or so before you do it for a wedding. I don't think it will cover your tan lines, but I could be wrong. Sure beats all the UV stuff though!!

I'm also a little concerned for my sheets and towels- both of which I prefer to be white. I have a tan sheet I'm going to use for the first few days. I hadn't thought about my bras. Hmmm, well we'll se how it goes. I might just have to readjust my way of thinking because I have not been able to get used to being pale. Maybe my future is tan sheets, towels, bras- tan everything!

BTW the DHA smell is starting to come through but it's not too bad.

So which is better...Mystic Tan or airbrushing? I have always been afraid that they would look orangey.

I've never done airbrush tanning but I'm going to try it if this doesn't work out. I'm sure how good it looks on you depends on how good the solution they use is and if it's a color that works for you or not. It's $40-$45 around here though so it wouldn't be a weekly thing for me. I'm really hoping the Mystic works out. I read to make sure they use the Mystic solution because some places use (cheaper) California Tan which isn't as good. I've use Cal Tan lotions and love them but I guess the booth solution is streaky and orange.

So how's it lookin', girl?

Let us know how it turns out.

This is an important step otherwise you may end up with to much color on your hands and feet. When I had mine, they gave me a shower cap to wear. Oh, and do be prepared for the blast. Even though I knew it was coming, it made me jump out of my skin. Last but not least, mine turned out great!!! No blotches but if I remember it takes about 24 hours to really kick in. Good luck, I'm sure your's will turn out wonderfully.

It looks really natural so far. I'm really happy with it. The color is nice - no orange at all. My hands aren't orange at all either which was one of my biggest concerns and no streaking even around my feet and ankles.

They said it would take as long as 24 hours to fully develope but I think I'm going to really like it. Now I'm going to have to get past the transfer on sheets and towels.

I know I won't like that but I like the prospect of having leather skin even less so hopefully I can deal with it. The smell is really mild so I think I'll be able to hold off on showering till morning. She said to wait at least 6-8 hours but longer if I could. I just had my hair lightened quite a bit- almost blond so I look soooo much better with some color.

LOL, posting at the same time but I'm much slower.

Yeah I used that barrier guard like my life depended on it and also wore the oh so cute shower cap. I can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow. We're going to the Keys this weekend so depending on the amount of color that shows up I might do it again on Thursday.

Actually, I got distracted and failed to see all of the lower posts. Mine was an actual Mystic Tan Bed and I did have a problem with the sheets...but then again they were a leopard print. Just to be safe, use a dark sheet if you have one. I was very happy with the outcome of my tan. Just wait til you see it tomorrow!!

Too funny how women truly get excited about these things. I am seriously anxious to see how you like it tomorrow, Nikki.

You will LOVE it the next couple days, I am just really curious as to how it works for you after that. Please keep me updated!!! Women are silly, aren't we?!?!?!

Tiggerwit · 08-11-2008, 03:05 PM

My daughter works at a tan place. She's always whining about the darn mystic tan. When she cleans it she bumps into it and will come home with splotches on her arms and feet.

mascot · 08-11-2008, 03:15 PM

I did the mystic tan and I am a pale blond, I liked it, the color that is.... but I have such sensitive skin that I became itchy...arrrrgggg, can't tan in the sun and can't tan in a room with lotion. I am so white that if someone broke into my house at night I'd have to turn the lights on and stand against the wall...

j/k. I am pretty darn pale though. I have red headed kids too so we go through the 50spf weekly...lol.
