Mystic spray tan can well be the ultimate choice for those who seek a quick sun-kissed complexion without being affected by the harmful UV rays. Gone are the days when people used to bake their skin in the sun to attain a tan. But that effort had often resulted in untimely ageing of the skin, wrinkles and even deadly diseases like skin cancer. In order to remain safe, tan-lovers had to look for other ways and a number of sunless tanning procedures have made their way in the process. Spray tan has proved its superiority to other methods due to its easy method and effectiveness and mystic tan is the latest form of spray tan. Most tanners long for this innovative way of artificial tanning and to cater to their needs and wants most reputed salons nowadays a host a private booth where tan-seekers can have an amazing time with mystic tan. However, achieving the desired tan doesn't depend on the mystic tan solution alone, there are certain crucial before and after-care methods that a tanner needs to bear in mind to make the most of the mystic tan and flaunt a glowing tanned skin out in the public.

Among the before-care measures the most vital one is exfoliation. One or two days before the mystic spray tan session one should exfoliate the entire body by using a cleanser that consists of gentle exfoliants in the likes of  apricot seeds and sea salts for face and a loofah sponge for the rest of the body. Through exfoliation tanners can ensure that the tanning mist would work with the fresh cells of the skin and produce better result. Even though the tanning solution that comes in contact with skin is light, it might cause darker tan that doesn't look natural if applied on the dead cells of the skin. Rougher parts of the body such as elbow, knee takes additional time to exfoliate so one should pay special attention to these parts. Tanners should also stay away from any type of make-ups, perfume, body spray right before the session as these chemicals can hamper the proceedings of the mystic tan solution.

Application of the barrier cream on the palms, finger, and toe-fingers is a must to restrict tanning mist to reach these areas of the body. Tanning in these parts often cause streaky lines so the staffs of the salon provide this cream or lotion to ensure an even tan. Salons that host mystic spray tan sessions also render tanners with goggles, ear and nose plugs so that tanning mist cannot reach these sensitive areas. FDA has approved the DHA which is the chief ingredient of mystic tan for external use only and not to be getting in touch with any part of the body which is covered by mucous membrane. This is why one should apply lip balm or Vaseline on the lips. Once the mystic spray tan session is over, tanners need to wait for as long as possible before the shower because the longer one waits had the better chance of getting an even tan. Swimming in chlorinated water, physical exercises that cause sweat, spa sessions diminish the life of one's tan so one should steer clear of all these after the application of mystic tan. Tanner are also better off applying moisturisers on regular basis because hydrated skin retain the glow of the mystic spray tan for a longer period. These are most important after-care methods that help one enjoy the life and lustre of one's tan.
