| Q: How does the TanMist System work? |
Just attach the tube of solution to the TanMist® Spray
head, plug in the Mist Base... and you are ready to apply.
It is that easy! The TanMist has a wide spray mist that covers
the body without any defined lines that can be left by an
airbrush. You just point the TanMist® and mist! And remember,
there is no cleaning! |
| Q. What does the TanMist Easy Spray Formula
contain? |
The main ingredient is Dihydroxyacteone (or DHA as it
is commonly referred to) which has been used in the cosmetic
industry for over 30 years. DHA is manufactured from sugar
and does not contain any potentially harmful chemicals. The
TanMist® Easy Spray Formula does not contain alcohol,
like many sunless tanning products on the market. Alcohol
can have a drying effect on the skin. Our solution is water
based and oil free. |
| Q. How does the TanMist Easy Spray Formula
work? |
The body's skin has live and dead skin cells. The DHA
oxidizes and reacts on the dead skin cells, causing the melanin
in your skin to darken. The live cells located under the
dead cells have a barrier that cannot be penetrated by DHA. |
| Q. Is it safe? |
Dermatologists are becoming more and more aware of the
damaging effect of the sun and UV tanning. The TanMist® is
a safe way to get an all over natural tan without exposing
the skin to harmful UV rays. The sunless alternative will
help reduce the ever increasing skin-cancer statistics. |
| Q. Can I be sprayed with the TanMist Easy
Spray Formula if I am pregnant? |
There are no harmful chemicals in the TanMist® Tanning
Solutions. However, we recommend you check with your doctor
before using the Aztek TanMist® Sunless Tanning System. |
| Q. Will I be able to use the TanMist Easy
Spray Formula if I have asthma, eczema or broken skin? |
Doctor's approval should be sought in all these circumstances. |
| Q. What will happen if I have sensitive
skin? |
The TanMist® Easy Spray Formula has received the Sensitive
and Hypoallergenic "stamp of approval". If you have sensitive
skin, we recommend you perform a simple allergy test 48 hours
before use: Apply a small sample to the inside of one elbow.
Let dry. Do not cover or disturb. If redness, irritation
or other skin discomforts occur, please consult your doctor
and discontinue use of this product. |
| Q. What is bronzer? |
Bronzer is a make-up that is added to our solution to
give an instant tan while spraying with the TanMist® Easy
Spray Formula. When using the Bronzing solution there will
be a slight residue that may rub off on the inside of your
clothing. This is water-soluble and will wash out of most
clothing. The solution is water based and oil free. |
| Q. What kind of color will I get? |
We have 6 different formulas: Dark, Medium and Light without
Bronzer, and Dark, Medium and Light with Bronzer. Dark has
the highest percent of DHA, while Light has the lowest. Because
the solution oxidizes and reacts with the skin's own cells,
the tan develops to a shade to suit your natural coloring,
whether you are fair or dark skinned. The tan will be darker
or lighter depending on the shade you choose. |
| Q. What is layering? |
To achieve the darkest tan possible, you can apply two
or more coats of Sunless Tanning Solution on the body. You
want the first coat to be absorbed into the skin before applying
a second. We recommend waiting no less than 12 hours before
applying a repeat application. This will allow the Sunless
Tanning Solution to develop fully and allow the natural tan
to show. |
| Q. Will it damage my hair? |
We recommend the use of a hair cap to protect your hair.
There is nothing in the TanMist® Solution that will harm
your hair. However, if any does come into contact with your
hair, wash your hair promptly. |
| Q. What if I get any tanning solution on
my clothing? |
The Aztek TanMist® Sunless Tanning Solution is water-soluble
and will wash out of most clothing. Remember, when using
the solution with bronzer there will be a slight residue
that may rub off on the inside of your clothing. |
| Q. How long does it take the solution to
dry after being sprayed? |
Micro misting technology is why TanMist® is so revolutionary.
The TanMist® Mist Head sprays a very
fine mist of solution all over the body. This mist takes
just minutes to dry. |
| Q. When can I shower/wash? |
| Always wait 3 to 4 hours to allow the product to bring out
your natural tan. |
| Q. What would happen if I went swimming? |
Chlorine has a slight bleaching effect on all skin types,
whether you are naturally tanned or have used self-tanning
products. Always wait 3 to 4 hours to allow the Sunless Tanning
Solution to bring out your natural tan. Swimming between
tanning sessions may cause your tan to fade more quickly. |
| Q. When should I moisturize and exfoliate? |
The maintenance of a sunless tan is comparable to properly
maintaining your hair or skin. You will need to exfoliate
before you apply TanMist® Tanning Solution. Our Exfoliator
Spray should be used in the shower, concentrating on the
hands, feet, knees and elbows. To prolong your tan and keep
your skin silky soft and smooth, you should moisturize twice
daily. However, you should wait 3 to 4 hours after applying
Sunless Tanning Solution, as moisturizer can dilute the effect
of your tan if applied too soon. |
| Q. How often should I TanMist? |
For new users, we recommend a second TanMist® tanning
after 3 days to gain maximum results. To "top up" the tan,
we recommend you TanMist® every week. |
