Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Mystic tanning booth

1. Find a tanning salon or day spa that has a mystic tanning booth. Call to schedule an appointment, or just walk in. Go dressed in loose clothing, with your hair pulled back.

2. Strip down to your underwear, bathing suit or bare skin. Place a shower cap over your head and pull it back so that your hairline is exposed. Remove all jewelry. Lather your fingers, palms, ankles, elbows and knees with the protective lotion that will be provided.

3. Step into the chamber and press the start button. The machine will talk to you and tell you to place your feet on the Number 1 and Number 3 spaces. Place your feet on these spaces and stand still. Bend your arms slightly and hold them away from your body. Keep your fingers together and curl them slightly into your palms. The machine will count down to the point when spraying will begin. The machine will then spray you.

4. Listen to the machine. It will tell you to move your feet to the Number 2 and Number 4 spaces. Move your feet and assume the same position as in Step 3. The machine will spray you again. This process will repeat two more times.

5. Stand fairly still and allow the spray to dry for a few minutes. Afterwards, get dressed and continue with your day as usual. Your tan will develop over the next few hours.
