"Hello my name is Melissa. I'm here at Maui Tan in Atlanta. We have two locations. This is our Vinings location. Our other location is in Midtown Atlanta. Here we offer UVB free beds, mystic spray tans, all sorts of products and a great knowledge about tanning. There are several things that you can do to help extend your tan. Several companies come out with great daily moisturizers to help extend that you can use after each shower. The more hydrated your skin is the longer your tan is going to last. Other products that you can use would be Mystic Sunless products that can help give you some extra color in between tans. You can also use dark tanning bronzers while you're in the bed to help increase the color that you will get in there, helping it hold longer outside of the salon. Some other products that you can use to help extend your tan is Savior, Devoted Creations' daily moisturizer, or Mystic Life, a product made by Mystic which includes a little bit of the Mystic solution to help you extend your tan even longer. Make sure when you are tanning that you exfoliate before your tan but try to avoid exfoliating every day after your tan. This can rub off the new tan that you have gotten. You also, the best way to make sure that your tan stays is to make sure that your skin is hydrated. Hydration will keep your skin from losing the color that it has gotten."
