I'm too scared to ever try Mystic Tan. I use the banana boat sunless tanner though and it works SOOOOO well. As long as you buy a self tanner that is GREEN/OLIVE based and not orange based you will look fine. You can usually find green/olive based ones at salons, but the banana boat one is olive based and it's pretty cheap too. :D

my friend works in a salon (like a hair makeup facial massage place, upscale) and she does this herself, but it is more like airbrushing, same type o fproduct but she only does one part of your body at a time- like the bottom of your legs, then the thighs, then your back,then your front, and your face and neck and stuff, and since you can instantly see it, she can make sure you don't blotch... i stood naked (keep in mind I have known her since i was 5) and let it try for 10 minutes, got home and changed into some pajamas and went to bed for the night... it didn't wear off over night, or come off in the shower- it last about 4 or 5 days and she told me that if you do it ona regular basis yourskin absorbs it better so it lasts longer and looks even better. i may get it done,since she only charges me what it costs- like $8!!!

It still looks good! :D

was it expensive?

spray tans
 

We have a spray tan beauty salon here in TN that is wonderful. Tans cost $18 and last around 2 weeks. I am so pale that one tan makes me very dark. :)

I have a freind of mine who sprays me. She bought the whole kit for about 1000$. I just strip bare for her and she sprays me, in the shower of course. It turns me 4 shades darker and lasts for 2-3 weeks. The solution is clear. The only thing, she can't spray the bottom of my hands. For some reason is won't stay there.

I bought one and I get one free. Total cost was $25.00. :)

Yeah I spent $45 for 3 tans :eek: It's crazy expensive...but it does give you faster results, painless results, and longer coverage so I suppose it's worth it ;)

Did anyone see Friends tonight with Ross and his experience with MysticTan? All I could do was crack up and think that would probably happen to me if I went! :D

i saw it! and thought of this thread!

and it's also got me freaked out about going now!

I about died laughing when I saw Friends tonight. :D

But how does it work on your face? The two scariest things to me are (a) orangeness, which you've aleviated! and (b) streakiness.

The way it works is that you put this stuff on your feet and palms of hands and fingers. You go into the booth, and in a matter of a minute, do four different poses to get every inch of your body. When you are done you will be dark brown...but you can't just go out like that. So instead you are told to take a towel and buff all over your body. You should rub the stuff in...get into your ears, between your fingers, get it outta your belly button...etc. Then in that first 10 hours the stuff sets in. Once you take a shower you won't be as brown (tan I should say) but you WILL NOT be orange.

Then to get that darker tan look you can go again in a few days. Right after I went I was told I looked great...and that was BEFORE I had showered!

Me too! That was very funny!!! :D

I came onto this thread to post about it.

That was so funny.

I'm too scared to get it done for fear that I'll come out looking orange. Real tans (not fake n bake) from the sun look the best. But, it causes all sorts of problems (wrinkles, dry skin, pimples, cancer).
