What do Bride Wars and Mall Cop Have in Common?

Mystic Tan is the go-to tan, not just in Hollywood, but in the movies! In fact, both Bride Wars and Mall Cop tapped into the leading spray tan provider, with hilarious results.

In Mall Cop, Kevin James gets a thorough tanning on top of his uniform and in Bride Wars?

Let’s just say that Anne Hathaway takes tanning a little too far.

Mystic Tan creator, Ricky Croft, is happy to go over the top on the big screen, but when it comes to real life (as opposed to reel life), he has all the info you’ll need to ensure a worry-free glow that will get you compliments. That way, brides … and mall cops! … can rest assured that the only thing that’s orange will be a honeymoon Mai Tai.

Perfect Glow Tips from Ricky Croft, Mystic Tan’s Creator:

* Be sure to apply a petroleum based product to cuticles and nail beds to avoid discoloration and a ruined manicure.
* Shave the night before. Exfoliate in the shower prior to use—but don’t apply lotion: skin must be clean!
* Use sparingly around rough and dry areas such as knees, elbows and ankles as these areas tend to darken more quickly and will be particularly unsightly against a white wedding gown!
* BUILD a tan in the weeks prior to a big event. Assess color after a few applications and once desired hue is achieved, maintain tone for the days leading up to the big day with follow-up sprays! This method lends itself to a less drastic, more even glow.
