How does Mystic Tan work?
The Mystic Tan solution has 3 components: Bronzer, DHA, and Aloe Vera. The bronzer is a water-soluble cosmetic dye designed to produce an instant tan. The bronzer tan remains on the skin until it is washed off in a shower or bath. The brown bronzer color can be seen in the bath water but will not stain because it is completely water-soluble. The DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the component that creates the longer term tanning effect. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with proteins and amino acids in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden brown color. It will begin to darken 2-3 hours after application but it reaches its peak color within 24 hours. The DHA color and intensity will be very close to that produced initially by the bronzer. The DHA tan will begin to fade within 4-5 days. To maintain an optimal tan, an individual should tan every 4-5 days. The Aloe Vera helps to carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promotes softer, smoother skin. The Mystic Tan solution contains more
