| Mystic Tan I am so nervous- I'm leaving in just a few minutes for my first Mystic Tan. I know some people have had bad experiences with it but I did a ton of research on the tanning forums and I made sure the place I'm going uses the correct solution and I've exfoliated as much as humanly possible and read every tip imaginable so I'm ready to give it a go. Being a FL girl I've always had a real tan but now that I'm 35 I'm trying to be a good girl and not end up like an alligator but I hate being pale. I know there are tons of great self tanners but I figured this would be a good once a week thing and I'll keep touched up with self tanner at home. Still... I am soooo nervous! I'm going to do the one with the bronzer so I wont know how it's really going to look until tonight or tomorrow when I shower the bronzer off. Okay, I'm procrastinating. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Wish me luck! Did I mention I'm scared?

| My co-worker did it. When it finally sprayed it shocked her and was cold. She jumped and fidgeted and came out blotchy.

| Hey! Don't be scared! You will look great. I did the spray tan thing.....can't remember if it was Mystic Tan but I had to stand in a booth and a machine sprayed me. I only did it once but there is nothing to it - just prep the palms of your hands and bottoms of your feet. Let us know how it turns out.

| Dont be nervous I have did it before and it turned out great not splotchy at all. It beats laying in a tanning bed 20 minutes 2 to 3 days a week. When my tanning contract runs out I might do it regularly

| I have always been curious about this, too. I am anxious to see what you think about it. I heard of someone here that does the airbrushing and also wondered about this. Tammy |

| Okay I survived! I am terribly claustrophobic and had a mild panic attack right before I got in the booth and almost backed out, but... it was nothing! I felt silly afterward. It was very easy. I'm hoping I wasn't squeezing my eyes tight emphasizing the lines around my eyes- that's the only thing I don't really remember. So now I wait, fingers crossed that I'm not streaky. I used the solution with the bronzer so I have a little color now and not streaks yet.

| Yep, I'm back, just waiting for the color to process. I'll let you know how it turns out. My local LA Tan has $10 Mystics on Mondays so it's a good time to give it a try. I also read tons of tips on iamtan.com before going so I hope it turns out okay.

| I just realized something a little bit ago- I don't smell! You know how sunless tanners have that gross smell? Even if they smell good there is still that background DHA smell? No smell at all! If I put my nose right to my skin it smells slightly of lotion or something.

| It literally takes like 1 minute so you can keep your eyes closed and it isn't bad. The booth I was in was about 2 or 3 times the size of a stand up tanning bed so it isn't too terribly small.

| I might be doing this in October... Im in a wedding and the dress is strapless but I have crazy dark tan lines on my shoulders and chest this year. Im glad to hear it was easy, Id love to know how it comes out. Do you think it would be dark enough to hide tan lines from a real tan? Id hate to look like an idiot in the wedding pictures.
