Reviewers say Mystic Tan UV-Free Spray-On Tanning, offered at tanning salons nationwide, is a great alternative to professional airbrush tans because it also provides even coverage at a more affordable price. Consumers at MakeupAlley.com say it provides a quick and easy tan but that its chemical smell can be a bit overwhelming. Reviewers recommend exfoliating before going to the salon to achieve a more even and natural tan that lasts longer, which is true of all sunless tanners. A do-it-yourself tanner, such as Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer (*Est. $9 for 7.5 oz.), is more affordable to maintain. Like all sunless tanning products, results with Mystic Tan may vary from one consumer to the next because of different skin tones and overall skin condition.

We found the best review of the Mystic Tan UV-Free Spray-On Tanning Booth at Washingtonian Magazine, where Kim Forrest details her experience with it and compares it to other sunless tanning products. User reviews at MakeupAlley.com also give helpful insight into consumer experience as does the skincare guide at About.com.

About.com's skin care guide, Jen Adkins, is critical of Mystic Tan, saying it doesn't always turn out as expected. Her tan looked fake, and she said that the whole process made her feel claustrophobic. On the plus side, it is very easy to use and it provides streak-free results.
