The Mystic Tan® booth utilizes a spray-on process designed to deliver a customized sunless tanning application to each individual based on their body size, skin type and desired colour. For each individual profile, three tanning level options are available to produce optimal results.

Inside the Mystic Tan®, room the tanner simply disrobes and enters the booth. With the push of a button, the session begins with a fine mist of aloe vera enriched sunless-tanning solution being sprayed through our patented MagneTan® nozzles.

The MagneTan® technology ensures uniform coverage over the entire body. Our proprietary sunless tanning solution instantly transforms into a quick, natural-looking tan that continues to darken throughout the day. A perfectly uniform, natural-looking tan in less than 60 seconds!

The solution has three primary components: bronzer, DHA, and aloe vera.

The bronzer is a water-soluble cosmetic dye designed to produce an instant tan. The bronzer tan remains on the skin until it is washed off in a shower or bath. The brown bronzer colour can be seen in the bath water but will not stain because it is completely water-soluble.

The DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the component that creates the longer-term tanning effect. DHA is a safe, simple molecule that has been used in food and cosmetics for decades. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with the proteins and amino acids in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden brown colour. It will begin to darken 2 to 3 hours after application, but it reaches its peak colour within 24 hours. The DHA colour and intensity will be very close to that produced initially by the bronzer. The aloe vera liquid is a natural moisturizer that comprises over 65% of the total solution.

Many people don’t wear anything. The room is completely private, and it is perfectly acceptable if you want to spray tan in the nude. However, if you do wear a bathing suit, underwear, or anything else, please be aware that whatever you wear may become stained. The bronzer used for your initial colour is water-soluble and should wash out of anything you wear, but the DHA contained in the solution may cause permanent stains on any clothing you wear inside the booth.

The mist applied in the Mystic Tan® tanning booth is very fine, much like the mist floating in the air on a foggy day. 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 on the skin. You may see small droplets clinging to body hair on your arms or legs. This remaining moisture can be removed quite easily by towelling dry. Do not worry about wiping off the solution with the towel. Towelling does not streak the tan; any solution that comes off on the towel is excess and will not lessen or otherwise affect your tan. Just towel off the same way you do when you take a shower. Be sure you have towelled off all moist areas before dressing.

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.

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 cremes 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 skin areas such as elbows, knees, and knuckles because they have a tendency to absorb more of the creme or lotion. Hand-held spray-on applicators tend to run and cause streaking. The misting technology used to apply the Mystic Tan® tanning solution assures that all areas of the body receive a uniform coating of the solution in the exact amount necessary to produce a golden brown tan.

Our trained staff and Mystic Tan specialists will ask a few questions about the desired pigment and add-on options for Accelerator, which is highly recommended to achieve the best tan for you.

Our Mystic Tan specialist will walk you to the spray tan room located in the back area of the spa. Where the client has a private room to experience the magic of the Mystic tan. During your first appointment, the spray tan specialist will go through detailed step-by-step preparation before going into the machine, how to operate the machine and what to expect while in the machine in order to have the best coverage during spraying. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have at this time.

Once the Spray Tan Specialist leaves the room, you are able to undress to your desire and use the provided shower cap, tanning sandals, barrier cream, and nose plugs.

After prepping for your spray tan session, the Mystic Spray Tan machine will guide you through voice commands. Once the tan session is complete, you can step out and get dressed.
