Your Personal Tan Plan
Just as proper preparation is key to serving a gourmet meal, determining up front the tan plan that’s right for your unique skin type is key to achieving and maintaining a natural-looking glow. Review the scenarios below for a look at some of our satisfied customers’ tanning techniques.
Scenario 1: I have a hot date this weekend, and I need a tan pronto.
Recommended tanning method & products
Get one Mystic Tan® session with Vanilla Scent and use MysticLife™ after-tan lotion, so your tan will last longer. Or, if you have a few days to work with, purchase a one-week Silver Level sunbed membership and Iced Cream™ lotion, along with one Mystic Tan® session to use on your fourth day.
Scenario 2: I’m going on a cruise next month, and I want to make sure I have a good base tan so that I don't burn on my first day out.

Choose a Gold Level Premier membership and begin your sunbed tanning session in a Silver level conventional tanning bed to initiate a base tan. Work your way up to 12 minutes and then upgrade to a Gold Level bed to enrich your tan. Integrate with a Gold Level stand-up bed to even out any tan lines and pressure points. Men: Use IDOL™ lotion, which includes an UltraFirm™ formula for visibly firm skin and Hemp Seed Extract to help your skin retain moisture for a deeper, longer-lasting tan. You can use this lotion outdoors, and it won’t leave you feeling greasy or stick to you on the beach. Women: Use Denim and Diamonds™, whose Triple Bronzing Complex gives you an instant, rich tan along with dramatic dark color that last 5 to 8 days.
Scenario 3: I’m getting married in a few months, and I want to look good at the altar.

Purchase a Platinum Level Premier membership and use Priceless™ Bronzing Lotion. Start your first sunbed session at 6 minutes(recommended time based on your skintype questionaire and our professional staff could vary). Then increase your time by 2-minute intervals each time thereafter. Once you reach 12 minutes, upgrade to a Gold Level bed. When you are comfortable with 12 minutes, switch to a stand-up unit for about 6 minutes to get rid of your tan lines. Alternate stand-up and lay-down beds from now on to avoid tan lines. After you max out at 10 to 15 minutes in your Gold bed, move up to a Platinum super bed for about 6 minutes. Continue to rotate the stand-up and the super bed. At your 28th or 29th day, use your free sunless session. Wow: You’re a knock-out!
Scenario 4: I already have a base tan but want to get darker.
Recommended tanning method & products
Select a Diamond Membership or a Platinum Plus Membership and a Mystic® Package. For your initial sunbed tanning session, opt for the Classic 650, one of the most intense tanning beds to date, with 12 high-pressure lamps that span its canopy and produce 6,000 watts of power. Adjustable facial lamps allow you to enjoy a full session at the power level you desire – the ultimate in tanning results and luxury. Use CRYSTAL XII 12th Dimension Bronzer with Triple Body Blush and green tea scent for the deepest, darkest and longest lasting tan possible.
Scenario 5: I like to relax in a sunbed bed during my lunch hour a couple times a week.
Recommended tanning method & products
Tan in a conventional Silver Level bed for longer time, if you like, or tan in a powerful Gold or Platinum Level bed for less time and more color.
Scenario 6: Is it OK if I do both sunbed and sunless tanning?
Recommended tanning method & products
Yes; we call this the “tanning cocktail.” sunbed tanning helps open up your pores so when you do the sunless spray immediately afterwards, your tan goes deeper.
