Contestants will have the opportunity to add color to their pageant preparation
BATON ROUGE, La. (July 25, 2005) – The Miss Universe Organization, producer of the Miss Teen USA Pageant, today named Mystic Tan the Official UV-free Tan of Miss Teen USA 2005. The Miss Universe Organization encourages Miss Teen USA contestants who want a tan to use UV-free tanning for the competition. Mystic Tan will provide on-site UV-free tanning services for the contestants to tan July 25 – August 8 in Baton Rouge, La. The competition will broadcast live on August 8, 2005 at 9 pm ET/ delayed PT.
“Mystic Tan was a huge hit among Miss USA contestants earlier this year in Baltimore, so we’re very pleased that Mystic Tan will also be available for the Miss Teen USA contestants. Mystic Tan provides a real benefit for the girls to be able to get a UV-free tan that is good for their skin to help them look great for the big night,” said Paula Shugart, president, the Miss Universe Organization.
Increasingly, Mystic Tan is experiencing growth in the younger demographic and finds that younger girls are seeking Mystic Tan as their choice way of getting a golden glow. Since Mystic Tan looks great on all skin types, it’s a great solution for any contestant who wants to enhance their skin.
“We think it is great that the Miss Universe Organization encourages UV-free tanning for its contestants,” said Troy Cooper, Mystic Tan president. “As the provider of the most even, natural-looking UV-free tan, we are happy to make Mystic Tan available to these outstanding girls to help them look and feel their best during this exciting time.”
The Mystic Tan UV-free tanning booth creates a natural-looking tan in less than a minute. Its patented MagneTan™ technology ensures even coverage with every tan.
Contestants will have the option of choosing from two tanning mysts: ClearMyst™, a time-released tan formula that develops an even, natural-looking tan within hours and goes on completely clear; and BronzMyst™, which has the same attributes as ClearMyst, but includes an Insta-Color Bronzer™ for an instantly noticeable tan.
Miss Teen USA contestants will also have the opportunity to try HyperTan™, the first sunless tan accelerator. HyperTan cuts the development time of a Mystic Tan in half and helps the tanning myst penetrate deeper, creating a darker tan.
The contestant named Miss Teen USA 2005 will also receive free Mystic Tans at the location of her choice during her reign.
The popularity of Mystic Tan is steadily climbing, with more than 3,200 Mystic Tan booths in the United States and over 10 million tanning sessions conducted since 1999.
About Mystic Tan
The Mystic Tan UV-free tanning booths, available in the Original, Innovation Series and The MyMyst System, use a touch-free, spray-on tanning technique that creates an even, natural-looking tan that lasts about a week or more. It’s patented MagneTanTM technology polarizes the Tanning Myst and uses the body’s
own magnetic properties to evenly attract micro-myst particles to every exposed
surface of the skin. Mystic Tan also offers a choice of Tanning Mysts in Original
with NutraMist and Premium with NutraMist Plus, both of which come in ClearMyst
or BronzMyst formulas. ClearMyst is a time-released tan formula that develops
an even, natural-looking tan within hours; and BronzMyst has the same attributes
as ClearMyst, but includes an Insta-Color Bronzer for an instantly noticeable
tan. Operating since 1999, Mystic Tan is available in salons throughout the
United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Spain, Italy,
Poland, France and Holland, and has provided well over 10 million tanning sessions.
