Mystic Tan?

[CinderellyCinderelly]

I just bought a tanning package to do unlimited Mystic tans. After my first one though, I am scared to go back. They told me to hold my breath because it doesn't take that long, but that was impossible! I was gasping for air after about 20 seconds and inhaling all of that spray!! Has anyone here else done the Mystic tan? If so, do you have any tips on how to not breathe in everything?!

I did Mystic Tan on numerous occasions.....I know what you mean about holding your breath. I just push through it. I guess that's the price we pay for beauty I guess it's better than going in a tanning bed and risking skin cancer.

FYI: I have been using lotion lately, it's Jergens. I like it, it gives me some nice color without turning me orange and it's only like 7 bucks!!!

I tan in a regular tanning bed (don't drink, don't smoke, go to the gym regularly, and eat fairly healthy so something's got to kill me eventually ). Anyways, I have done Mystic in the past. I can hold my breath for a really long time so I can't help you there. I just wish there was a way to warm it up! It's shocking when it first hits your skin! I stopped though as I noticed it made my knees and elbows look dirty and I had this weird line around my ankle where I put the "barrier cream".

I can't stand it. I used it once..Yuck no way for me. Its smelly, my hands and knees looked real bad.

I breathe in during the turnaround phase. The DHA smell is terrible, but it's better than passing out naked in a spray tan booth.

I have done it a million times. I did it for prom and for my wedding too.

I don't do it on a regular basis though because it is too expensive here (like $26 a session) but I have always loved it.

I have never tried to hold my breath.

I went back tonight to do the tan. They have a new machine where you turn three times and it sprays from your head to your feet. There is also a fan so all those nasty fumes aren't encircling you! Much easier.

HOWEVER,

Before I went in, the girl working said I should go into the UV bed to "open my pores." I haven't been in a tanning bed for YEARS, so I said NO. She suggested only 10 minutes and since it hasn't been sunny here for months I thought it wouldn't hurt. Well, my whole body is fine except my butt and my back are BRIGHT RED! I guess I didn't think that since those parts never get exposed really then they are more sensitive. Ohhhhhh gosh. Thats just my luck for listening to the person instead of my gut!
