Mystic Tan: Add-ins {Part deux}

We told you about mystic cartridges, now let's talk about some of the mystic add-ins!

The first add-in, and my favorite is the Mystic enhancer additive.

The mystic enhancer benefits your spray tan in two ways...

1. Guarantees you natural color. Sometimes what you eat throughout the day can actually throw off the color you receive from the spray tan (i.e. greasy foods, of course we aren't eating those though are we... HAH, JK, LOL! Had a big mac for lunch, diet starts Monday :) ) . 

The Enhancer will balance your PH levels (that's what has to be balanced to get perfect color) so that you get the perfected hue of bronze for your unique skin tone.

2. Develops your spray tan in half the time. If you are like me, you may have procrastinated doing the spray tan until last minute. So, if you come spray at 6pm on New Years Eve, then add the enhancer and your tan will be fully developed by 8pm, just in time to head out the door to your fabulous fiesta! 

So enhance yourself (and your spray tan) Fusion Fans!

For Auld Lang Syne

We wish you a SPARKLING New Years Eve! We are open until 8p.m.! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

The Perfect Mystic Tan {Part One}

Ahh it's almost New Years Eve. Hands down the most sparkly day of the year. Other than your birthday, I can't think of a single day of the year where you feel or look more glamourous! With that said we wanted to talk to y'all about the add-ins and cartridge choices for the Mystic Spray Tan. The Mystic is completely customizable to get you as dark as you want, as bronzed as you want or even just a simple dusting of glow, Mystic can help with that too!

Here is a how-to for all your mystic needs. We have broken this topic down into a couple of posts so you can ask any questions as we go along!

First step:  Choose your cartridge:

 1. Glow (available at select studios): Produces only a hint of color for a natural, healthy looking glow. Great for light to medium skin tones.

2. Light: Produces results 1-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Great for light/medium skin

3. Medium: Prodcues results 2-4 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Great for light/medium and dark skin tones

4. Dark: Produces results 3-5 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Great for medium/dark skin tones!

Before you come in to spray... shower, shave and exfoliate. It is also best to spray at night, then you have a great excuse to go veg out on the couch since you have to wait 4-6 hours to shower. It will actually to continue to develop for 24 hours if you let it. I am fairly fair skinned and I always spray with the dark cartridge and I get beautiful color. Don't be afraid to go a little darker this New Years Eve!

Top 5 Halloween Costumes for 2011

I have compiled a list of the top costumes for Halloween in 2011. These are in my opinion only, and all require a tan to pull them off. We are sneaky like that at Fusion, make you fall in love with a costume that requires a tan! Let us know if you will be wearing any of these, or disagree with me and think your costume is the best!

5. Pregnant Beyonce: I hate to break it to you but if you are white, you gotta have a tan to pull of the almighty Beyonce, otherwise, people will think you are channeling Lisa Minnelli from her role in Sex and the City 2!

4. Glee Cheerio: Santana's gorgeous complexion would be offended if you walked out looking like Sue Sylvester instead!

3. Katy Perry from California Girls: Sun Kissed Skin, so hot will melt ya popsicle!

But what do I know, you could always go as that Alaskan girl and melt no one's popsicle...

2. Toddlers and Tiaras: Come on now, gotta have a tan for this one! These pretty pretty princesses wouldn't have a shot at the crown without their royal glow!

Image via

And the number ONE halloween costume goes to... The cast of Jersey Shore! Gather up 3 more gal pals, and 4 guy friends (or you could probably get 5 guys and one would probably pass for Snookie or Deena no problem) and assign roles accordingly! And for heavens sake, get to FUSION as soon as possible because without a tan for this costume, it just makes you look downright silly! GTL BABY, FIST PUMP!

Exercise: The Extreme Tingle Lotion

So if y'all are anything like me (and 97% of the women I know) Monday starts the diet all over again! Whether it has been months since I was on a diet or I just faltered over the weekend, I ALWAYS start a new diet program on Mondays.

Never in a million years could I start a diet/workout program on a Thursday! Are you kidding me? Start a new regimen right before my weekend? I think not!

So in honor of Monday (and officially the start of a health conscience workout week for me) here is a fun fact about how exercising can get you even darker in the tanning bed!

Have you ever tried a tingle lotion? What a tingle lotion does is increase your blood flow and bring oxygen to the surface of your skin, thus helping you get darker. Do tingle lotions actually get you darker than a regualar bronzer without a tingle? YES!

Does it hurt like heck! Yes!

So if you are like me and want that dark color but don't want to run around like Ricky Bobby yelling that you are on fire when, actually, you are not, then try this tip...

...Workout directly before tanning! This will do the same thing for your blood flow as a tingle without having to feel the painful effects of a tingle lotion.

So there ya go, now you are skinny and tan! What could be better?

The Sun Angel

Can you believe the incredible equipment Fusion Tanning Studios already offers our loyal tanners?

I mean we are talking about the awesome Mystic HD tanning booth with a heater and a dryer on it for flawless tanning results.

The Velocity signature bed with the most UVA ray which will give you the deepest, darkest, most bronze color possible in only one session per week!

The Hydration station which is nothing short of a facial for your entire body.

Well, how about we throw in the all new sun angel bed. This thing is ridic!

The Sun angel has built-in air conditioning to keep you the perfect temperature the entire session. It also mists you with aroma therapy to keep you smelling so fresh and so clean clean!

Think that sounds good?

It actually has a sensor that takes a reading of your skin tone and self-adjusts the amount of UV lights in the bed to give you the perfect, customized tanning session each and every time. It eliminates the chance of sunburn, leaving you with only flawless color.

We are going to be running tons of fabulous specials on this state-of-the-art tanning paradise. Keep an eye out at your local Fusion to see how you can score a visit to our Sun Angel bed for free!!!

Featured Lotion of the Week: Hellbent

Are you one of Fusion's hundreds of tanners with tattoos?

Or do you have any dry, damaged skin left over from the DREARY winter months? 

Or do you just channel Kat Von D on a day-to-day basis?

Image via

If you answered yes to any of these questions I have the perfect product just for you. Our featured lotion this week is hellbent. There are a couple ingredients that make this lotion cool for any type of tanner...

Which tanner are you?

Tanner Number 1: The tattoo lover

Image via

Do you love tattoos? Did you know that UV light can fade your beautiful piece of art faster than you can say, "Ouch, I change my mind!"

Hellbent has an ingredient in it called colorguard plus.

The colorguard will actually keep tattoos from fading. The plus in colorguard plus will restore vibrancy and color to any tattoo that has already begun to fade. So it will reverse the prior damage, leaving your tattoo looking just like the day you originally got inked up! 

Tanner Number 2: Winter Skin Syndrome

If you are like me you have that dreary winter skin lingering in your otherwise perfect spring world. 

Hellbent has an ingredient in it called tiger grass...

Image via

The tiger grass in hellbent is not to be confused with the other type of tiger grass...

Sorry couldn't help myself...

When tigers have a wound, they will seek out this grass and roll around in it to heal their wounds. Humans can seek out this ingredient in hellbent to correct any dry, damaged skin that is lingering from those harsh winter months.

Hellbent also has 10 glorious bronzers to give your skin that beautiful sun-kissed glow that everyone needs all year long. Check out your local fusion to get more information on this fabulous tanning lotion!
