Are you looking to achieve a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays? Spray tanning at Waxi Taxi Spa might be the perfect solution for you! Our safe, UV-free spray tanning services offer a natural, streak-free tan, making it easy for you to enhance your beauty while protecting your skin health. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about spray tanning, from how it works to tips for maintaining your tan.
What is Spray Tanning?
Spray tanning is a cosmetic process that involves applying a fine mist of tanning solution to your skin to achieve a natural-looking tan. The solution typically contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a color additive that reacts with the amino acids in your skin's outer layer, resulting in a temporary tan that can last several days to a week. This method is a fantastic alternative to traditional tanning methods, such as sunbathing or using tanning beds, which can increase the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
Benefits of Spray Tanning
1. Quick and Convenient
One of the most appealing aspects of spray tanning is how quick and convenient it is. A typical session at Waxi Taxi Spa can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for those with busy schedules. You can walk in and walk out with a gorgeous, sun-kissed look in no time!
2. Customizable Shades

5. Boosts Confidence
A beautiful tan can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. Many people feel more attractive and self-assured with a sun-kissed glow, making spray tanning a great choice for special occasions or just for everyday wear.
How to Prepare for Your Spray Tan
1. Exfoliate Beforehand
For the best results, exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment. This step helps remove dead skin cells, ensuring an even application. Focus on areas that tend to be drier, such as elbows and knees.
2. Moisturize Your Skin
On the day of your appointment, apply a light moisturizer to your skin. However, avoid heavy creams and lotions, as they can create a barrier that may prevent the tanning solution from adhering properly.
3. Avoid Deodorant and Perfume
Make sure to skip deodorant, perfume, or any products containing oils on the day of your spray tan. These products can interfere with the tanning solution, leading to uneven results.
The Spray Tanning Process at Waxi Taxi Spa
1. Consultation
During your appointment, your technician will begin with a consultation to understand your desired results and skin type. They will help you choose the right shade and answer any questions you may have.
2. Preparation
You will be asked to change into a provided gown or disposable undergarments to protect your clothing. It’s essential to wear something you don’t mind getting stained.
3. Application
Our skilled technician will use a spray gun to apply the tanning solution evenly across your body. They may use different techniques for various areas to ensure a flawless finish. Most applications take around 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Drying Time
After the application, you’ll need a few minutes to allow the solution to dry. Some salons, including Waxi Taxi Spa, use fans or blow dryers to speed up the process.
5. Post-Tan Instructions
Your technician will provide you with aftercare instructions, including how to avoid water and sweat for the first few hours, as well as tips for maintaining your tan.
How to Maintain Your Spray Tan
1. Moisturize Regularly
To prolong your tan, keep your skin well-moisturized. Use a hydrating lotion daily to maintain the color and prevent dryness.
2. Avoid Exfoliation
Avoid harsh exfoliants and scrubs for the duration of your tan, as these can strip away the color more quickly. Opt for gentle cleansers and consider using a tan extender if desired.
3. Limit Swimming
Try to limit swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater for a few days after your spray tan, as these can cause the color to fade more quickly.
4. Schedule Touch-Ups
Depending on how quickly your tan fades, consider scheduling touch-up appointments every 7 to 10 days to keep your glow fresh and vibrant.
Common Myths About Spray Tanning
Myth 1: Spray Tans Are Orange
Many people worry about ending up with an unnatural orange hue. However, modern spray tanning solutions are formulated to provide natural-looking color, especially when applied by a professional.
Myth 2: Spray Tans Stain Everything
While the tanning solution can temporarily stain clothes, following post-tan instructions can help prevent any unwanted marks. Wearing loose-fitting clothing for the first few hours post-application can also help.
Myth 3: You Can’t Shower After a Spray Tan
You’ll typically need to wait a few hours before showering after your spray tan, but it won’t be days! Your technician will provide specific instructions based on the solution used.
