What
is the basic premise of MagicTan?
The MagicTan machine allows just about any person to step into
a private booth, be gently sprayed with a fine mist, and come out
with a beautiful golden brown tan. The tan is even throughout the
body and lasts about a week. The process is completely safe, UV
free, and takes only about a minute.
How
much does it cost the consumer
to use MagicTan? Back
to top
Our recommended price for consumer use is $45 per session but you
can get a darker tan by paying a little more.
Is
the process safe for consumers?
Yes. All of the components in our tanning solution are approved
by the FDA and have been used in food and/or cosmetics for several
decades. If an individual has ever had any adverse effects utilizing
self-tanning products or moisturizers, they might experience similar
effects with our tanning solution.
How
does it work?
Sunless tanning products work by creating a response with the top
layers of skin. Dihydroxyacetone or DHA sugars react naturally
with the protein in skin to create that tan, golden colour tanners
are seeking. MagicTan uses a DHA self-tanner and a bronzer blend
to give you the streak-free golden tan you want - no matter what
your skin type. We have also added aloe and moisturizers to keep
your skin healthy and golden brown, so you can look good and feel
great!
Thanks to advances in technology, there's no longer any reason
for any person to go through life looking pale and unhealthy.
What
about allergic reactions to
chemicals used in the
tanning solution? Back
to top
No. All of the components in the MagicTan tanning solution have
been used in cosmetics and food products for decades. These components
are approved for use on the skin and are considered safe. If you
have any serious allergies it is always wise to ask the salon staff
who have a complete list of ingredients that they can show you.
How
is the tanning solution applied
to the skin?
The MagicTan booth is a full-body, DHA tanning process that utilizes
a new misting technology. This is a revolutionary process that
allows the booth to apply a uniform amount of tanning solution
to all parts of the body. When the special MagicTan solution passes
through the booth’s nozzles, the particles of solution are
polarized making it cover all surfaces of the skin evenly. When
the tanning process is finished, the user simply steps out of the
booth, towels-off any excess mist, gets dressed, and exits. The
result is a uniform, natural-looking tan in less than five minutes.
Does
it turn the skin orange?
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 skinned areas such as
elbows, knees, and knuckles because these areas have a tendency
to absorb more of the creme. Hand held spray-on applicators tend
to run and cause streaking. This new misting technology used to
apply the MagicTan tanning solution assures that all areas of the
body get a uniform coating of the solution in the exact quantity
required to produce a golden brown tan.
What
about people with fair skin
that have never been
able to tan? Back
to top
The MagicTan tanning booth was designed specifically for individuals
who can't or don't want to tan conventionally.
Do
people with hair on their legs/arms,
develop a uneven
tan where hair is present?
No. People with hair on their bodies will see tiny droplets of
mist on their hairs at the end of the tanning process. These droplets
are removed during towelling off and the same even, golden brown
tan is achieved.
What
if I have a bald spot ?
If I wear a shower cap my bald spot will be white and my face brown
!
As it isn't necessary to wear a shower cap for the misting process
(it doesn't affect the colour of your hair in any way - even if
you have grey hair) you can go into the booth without a cap and
even your bald spot will get that great tan !
What
should people wear in the tanning
booth?
Many people do not wear anything. The room is completely private,
so tanning in the nude is perfectly acceptable. However, if a bathing
suit, underwear, or anything else is worn, it may be stained. The
bronzer we use for initial colour is water-soluble and should wash
out of any clothing, but the DHA applications may cause permanent
stains on any clothing worn inside the booth.
Do
I get better results if I shave
my legs before I use the
MagicTan booth? Back
to top
Exfoliation prior to using any type of Self Tanner, is really the
key to acquiring a tan which will provide the most natural fade.
Your skin on the surface when looked at under a microscope looks
like a series of peaks and valleys, as a result of dehydration
and flattening of the keratinic cells that migrate to the surface
of the skin. If you can envision looking at a landscape of peaks
and valleys (Aka your skin) covered in self-tanner and then think
about removing the peaks like would happened during normal skin
exfoliation or shaving, what you will find is the greater the difference
between the peaks and valleys the greater the likely hood of the
tan fading unevenly. Thus shaving, wither on the legs of women
or the face of men, which is a major form of exfoliation is best
done prior to the tanning session, this in combination with a good
sound skin care regimen, will ensure your tan will last longer
and fade more evenly.Obviously since a MagicTan, lasts approximately
a week, you will need to shave some time in between, but proper
preparation of the skin prior to tanning as well as after the session
you will find this will help achieve the best results.
What
happens if the mist gets into
the user’s eyes?
We suggest keeping the eyes closed during the misting process.
Due to the moisturizing components in the mist, eyes may feel itchy
or scratchy, but there is nothing in the mist that is harmful to
eyes.
How
many times does a person need
to use MagicTan
to achieve the colour they
want?
A person will be tan after one session, but it may take an additional
session or two to achieve their desired colour. Once they reach
the desired colour they should be able to maintain it by tanning
every four to five days.
Does
MagicTan give an even tan,
or will some parts of
the body be darker? Back
to top
The MagicTan tanning booth is designed to provide the most even
tan possible. However, tanners will be different heights and shapes,
and may stand in different positions. It is possible that some
people will find some areas of their tan lighter than others will.
In most cases, this difference disappears after several tanning
sessions.
Will
it make the user feel sticky
like lotions do?
No. Once the user leaves the MagicTan tanning booth and dries off,
their skin will feel soft and pliable because of the moisturizing
components. It will not feel sticky.
Does
the user need to cover their
hair during use? No.
Many consumers wear disposable
shower caps, which are provided
by the salon, to keep the solution
from getting in their hair.
Other consumers tan without
covering their hair. The solution
will not penetrate the hair
follicles.
Is
the user wet when getting out
of the booth?
The mist applied in the MagicTan tanning booth is very fine, much
like the mist floating in the air on a foggy day. By the time the
user steps out of the booth most of the mist will have dried, but
there may still be a few moist areas. They may see small droplets
clinging to the body hair on arms or legs. This remaining moisture
can be removed quite easily by towelling dry. There’s no
worry about wiping off the solution with the towel. Towelling does
not streak the tan, and any solution that comes off on the towel
was excess and will not effect the tan.
Does
the mist leave an unpleasant
odour on theuser? Back
to top
Some consumers have commented that they noticed a "starchy" smell
on their skin after tanning, but it is usually not noticeable to
others around them.
Will
the user get sick if they breathe
during the session?
We recommend that users hold their breath during the actual misting
process, which lasts about 20 seconds. We make this recommendation
because most individuals would prefer not to breathe in the mist
even though there is nothing in it that would cause any harm if
you did breathe it in. If there is a history of asthma or other
respiratory illnesses we do not recommend tanning in the MagicTan
tanning booth until consulting with a doctor.
How
long after the tanning session
can the user put their
clothes back on?
Once the user has towel dried there is little chance of the bronzer
or DHA getting on their clothes. If they pursue any strenuous physical
activity after your MagicTan tanning session, perspiration may
cause some of the bronzer to transfer to their clothing. Since
the bronzer is completely water-soluble it will wash out.
Does
this system cause freckles
in people who usually
freckle when tanning?
No. There is nothing in the MagicTan tanning solution that will
cause more freckles to break out. In fact, in most cases, freckles
and blemishes will become less pronounced because the lighter skin
areas will darken and reduce the colour differentiation between
the blemishes and the rest of the skin.
Will
the user get a better tan if
they tan twice in the same
day? Back
to top
Yes, tanning twice in the same day will create a darker tan, but
we do not recommend back to back sessions. Tanning back to back
does not give the DHA a chance to set between tans, and increases
the chance that your tan may have an orange glow. Waiting 12 to
24 hours between tans will eliminate this potential problem.
How
soon after the tanning session
can the user shower?
We recommend that the user wait at least a few hours after tanning
to give the DHA enough time to fully set. If they shower earlier,
they may diminish the intensity of the tan. When they do shower
the initial tan created by the water-soluble bronzer will wash
off, but the DHA will remain and create a long term tan.
Can
MagicTan users also use the
sun and UV-tanning beds?
Yes. There is nothing in the MagicTan tanning solution that would
prevent users from tanning in tanning beds or the sun. In fact,
a number of customers have found that tanning with UV rays and
the MagicTan tanning solution actually gives them a better overall
tan. Remember, however, that the MagicTan tanning process does
not give protection from UV rays.
My
palms got stains on them Back
to top
Some people's palms take on more solution than the others' - see
art of a perfect tan. Simple way of getting them white is to spread
some lemon juice on them, or if all else fails a little White King
bleach on a cotton wool.
My
tan looks different than the
last time
The condition of your skin varies with season, time of the month,
foods you eat, time of the month weather etc. The skin is a living
thing, and reacts to a lot of factors, that is why the tan might
vary. Use MagicTan prep gel to avoid this happening and make your
tan 30% darker.
The
tan wears off quicker on hands
and feet
This is because your hands and feet are more exposed to the elements
or are subject to more rubbing in your shoes. Dab a little touch
up solution on the white bits or use the aerosol. Two minutes in
the morning, and your tan will look as good as new. Ask for the
demonstration at the salon.
I
have some brown patches on
my knuckles and elbows
Take some exfoliator, or a wet soapy washer, and very gently rub
off the excess. Not too hard, so you don't finish with a white
patch. Back
