WOW….. what I am reading has been shocking news. I do not usually tan, but on the occasions that I have, I have noticed that I have become extremely sick. My entire xmas last year was ruined as a result of flu like symptoms, ( throwing up, body aches, and diarrhea) that came hours after I mystic tanned for a xmas party. I never thought that the mystic tan could have this affect on me, so I never mentioned it or looked into it. However, after my last session of mystic tanning I became SEVERELY SICK. Emergency room visits, cat scans for my stomach, and multiple dr. visits, have been a result of my flu like symptoms, ( especially feeling nauseated) for weeks now. It has almost been a month. I thought it would be a crazy assumption, but after reading posts by people who have experienced the same thing, I know something is wrong here. I WILL NEVER MYSTIC TAN AGAIN. I don’t know if the product is fda approved, but even if it is that does not guarantee that adverse reactions cannot happen to certain people who use it. Also, just because there is no direct proof by research to link mystic tan to reactions like this does not mean that it doesn’t happen. That just means that they have yet to establish a direct causal link but may next month or next year or the next ten years. EVERYONE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODIES.

I found this site because I used some Neutrogena spray tan today in preparation for a trip to Vegas (never used anything like it before) and within a few minutes of application got sick…I was having muscle/body aches and felt terrible. I took a nap, hoping it would get better and when I woke up I felt WORSE and my kidneys were actually hurting. I knew immediately I needed to get the chemicals off, so I took a hot bath with some dead sea salts and afterward immediately felt better. I will not be using spray tanning products again. Not everyone is like this, but I am somewhat chemically-sensitive and the chemicals in the spray tan product were too much for me.

I had a spray tan for a very special wedding this friday 21st may 2010. What a total mistake!! Never had one in my life, but people were teeling me to go ahead and have one. I started feeling bad 24 hours after the tan experiencing flu type symptoms, severe headache and diaorreah!! By the day of the wedding my throat was so painful i had to miss the entire meal and had to go home having got so upset at feeling so unwell and not being able to enjoy the wedding remotely!!! The tan was not even nice, it was patchy. I would warn anyone to think very carefully before having one, had I known there was any risk involved there is no way I would have risked it

I have been spray tanning by a person many times before. I decided to try a mystic tan because they were being given away. Without any help at all from the girls at the front, I went into this booth to spray tan. I was not provided goggles, nose plugs or a mask. This was yesterday around 3pm. Currently, Its 9am the next day and I have a headache, a sore throat, and have been nauseous all night. I was getting up about every 30 minutes throwing up all night and I did this for a special event. Due to getting this done, I might not even be able to attend the special event I wanted to. Its NOT worth it. Have a person do it.

i just googled this as was thinking of having one done today. i usually use Clarins fake tan but someone is offering a spray tan. I was going on holiday with someone who went for a spray tan and an hour later they threw up for 24 hours! It was an extreme reaction and reading the other ones here I think I will stick to tanning cream but might have the skin test as if she does spray me it is by hand.

I did at home spray tanning twice in 2 weeks, the fumes were pretty intense. It has made me very ill, going on the fifth day of heavy fatigue, dizziness, nasal congestion. Symptoms very similiar to mold allergy. I am sure it was from the neutrogena spray tan I used. Watery itchy eyes..the whole deal. Flu like yet no fever or body aches. If iam not considerably better by tomorrow I will see a doctor. Take every precaution not to inhale these fumes a AT all!! I’m scared to death as to what damage I may have caused.

I had a spray tan this week, I usually feel quite dirty and can’t wait to get it off, often having trouble sleeping. This time I felt quite sick after my tan and threw up into the night. I didn’t have anything much to eat that day so pretty sure it wasn’t the food. Has anyone else had this?, or I might just be quite sensitive to the chemicals.

Spray tanning is NOT approved by the FDA. Lotions are.

Spray tanning is NOT approved by the FDA. DHA is approved in lotions. And yes there are ALOT of chemicals in the solution that can and more likely will make some people sick. There have been adverse reactions reported to the FDA. If anyone does have a reaction to spray tanning it should be reported immediately.
