The post What’s It Really Like Working at iTAN appeared first on iTAN.

What is TANOLOGY?

TANOLOGY is iTAN’s exclusive lotion line designed to help develop deep, long-lasting color while nourishing and hydrating the skin. TANOLOGY is packed with anti-aging ingredients that help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and smooth imperfections. All formulas are cruelty free, paraben free, sulfate free, gluten free, vegan and made with natural ingredients.

What formulas does TANOLOGY have to offer?

TANOLOGY offers three unique formulas to choose from: Formula 1 Intensifier, Formula 2 Natural Bronzer (features caramel and black walnut extract) and Formula 3 DHA Bronzer. In its simplest form, DHA is a 3 carbon sugar that reacts with the amino acids in the surface of our skin cells; this produces a darkening effect that stimulates a suntan, plus it makes us feel great! Formula 1 is perfect for those who prefer to go without a bronzing element, Formula 2 is great for those that prefer a natural bronzing element, and Formula 3 is designed for those that want the deepest, darkest color development possible! 

All three formulations include:

• Tyrosine which helps stimulate melanin production and amplify color development.
• Vitamin E to help soothe inflammation and aid in redness reduction.
• Birch bark extract to help even your skin tone.
• Coconut, sunflower, avocado and rosehip oils to help nourish and protect your skin’s appearance.

What will I receive with my Lotion Membership?

With the TANOLOGY Lotion Membership, you’ll receive one packet of lotion for every

Sun session, with all three of TANOLOGY’s unique formulas to choose from. That’s right, no need to bring your own tanning lotion – we’ve got it covered! Along with the convenience of not having to bring your own lotion bottle, you also get access to all three formulas, which can help avoid hitting a tanning plateau! This month only, in honor of iTAN’s 22nd Tanniversary, join any Two Category or Sun Spray Spa iCLUB for $22. Plus, sign up for the lotion membership for $12.95 per month and get a waived join fee!

1. Apple Picking

What’s more fall-esque than apple picking? Visit a nearby orchard and have fun deciding which apples are deemed good enough to take home. Finish the day off with some apple cider and maybe some pumpkin pie! P.S. Be sure to use this as an opportunity for a fall photoshoot!

2. Spooky Movie Marathon

It’s not quite Halloween yet, but why not start watching spooky movies now? There are plenty of them to carry you into October (probably even through the end of the year). Make a blanket fort, pop some popcorn and get cozy while you prepare to be spooked. Plus, what’s a better excuse to cuddle up to your s/o than being scared?

3. Make Apple Cider & Caramel Apples

Fall means making (and eating) amazing food! Test your cooking creativity by making apple cider and caramel apples. See how many spooky designs you can make on the caramel apples!

4. Visit a Haunted House

Get a head start on Halloween festivities by visiting a haunted house! If sharing a moment of fear doesn’t bring you closer together… what will?

5. Have a Bonfire

Bonfires are a great activity to do with a big group of friends! Grab a few beach blankets and enjoy everyone’s company while roasting marshmallows and listening to fun music. 

6. Go Camping

Camping is a super fun way to bond with your s/o- you’ll probably end up learning a lot about them as well! Spending a few nights in the wilderness under the stars is about as romantic as it gets- the perfect way to kick off the fall season.

7. Plan a Night In

Date night doesn’t have to mean going out! If staying lowkey is more your pace, plan a night in with your significant other! You can cook them dinner, watch a movie or play a few board games. Keeping it simple is still sweet!

8. Dress up for a Night Out

If you’re not in the mood to stay inside… dress to the nines and head downtown! Enjoy a dinner or drink while wearing your most fashionable outfit. 

Your date night outfit will look better with a tan! Visit your nearest iTAN for your best glow… your s/o won’t be able to take their eyes off of you!

1. Take notes

This tip is the most simple, and also the most important. You may think your brain retains everything your professor says, but it’s so helpful to have the information written (or typed) in front of you. 

2. Keep a planner

You think you can remember when assignments are due, and when exams are taking place… but it’s easier to have everything written down. Plus, it’s so satisfying to be able to cross something off of your list. Bonus points if you color coordinate your assignments! 

3. Go to class office hours

Office hours are really the key to acing your classes. You get 1-on-1 time with your professor, which not only helps you to better understand the material, but it helps you build a relationship with them. The more they like you, the more likely they are to help you out when you need a letter of recommendation, an internship or even just a grade boost. 

4. Make class friends 

Class friends are crucial to not only succeeding in your classes, but also actually enjoying them! They’re there just in case you missed some of what the professor said, if you missed a day and need notes and just for good company! Trust us, the first few weeks of school is not the time to be shy. 

5. Talk to everyone

When you’re starting at a university, having friends is so important! You’re in a new environment with new challenges and it’s so helpful to have a support system to help you through any struggles that pop up. You don’t have to be friends with everyone, but the more people you talk to, the more friends you’ll make.

6. Don’t overpack ‘themed’ outfits

Starting college means you’ll probably have an invite to your fair share of themed parties, but trust us- you don’t need to pack with them in mind. We bet your suitcases will be full enough without that silver sparkly skirt that could resemble an alien. You probably have more than enough clothes to dress up for the parties you end up attending. 

7. You don’t need Greek life to have a social life (but it doesn’t hurt)

Many incoming students wonder about joining greek life and what it would do to help them succeed. We’re here to tell you that if the only reason you’re thinking about joining is to get into parties- don’t. Joining a sorority or fraternity is amazing for a variety of reasons- you have a huge support group, you participate in fun activities and you get to wear cute outfits on Bid Day. But you can make friends and have a social life without it! 

8. Glow up

Being confident in your skin is so important in your social life! When you’re confident, you’re more likely to want to expand your friend group and participate in events! This month only, visit your nearest iTAN for a $10 spray tan with a valid student I.D. to kick off your back-to-school glow up! Students can also sign up for a Spray iCLUB membership for FREE, valid through September. 

We want your ‘back-to-school’ experience to be the best one yet! Check out our blog ‘How to Perfect your Back-to-School Glow-Up’ and then head over to iTAN so we can help you prep for the new school year!
