Everybody wants to feel and look their best while maintaining their busy schedules. The benefits of a healthy beauty routine might be hard to manage with a busy work life, but it’s vital to find time to indulge in some self-care. Keep reading to see how we break down the ideal self-care beauty routine from Sunday to Monday.

Sunday

We start with Sunday because many of us have this day off and it’s the perfect day to reset for the upcoming week! First, we need to exfoliate off last week’s tan and prep our skin for a fresh application. We recommend doing a full exfoliation using the Evolv. Bamboo Body Scrub (available at iTAN for $25). Whether you did a Spray Tan or used a Sunbed, this exfoliator can replenish your skin while taking off those dead skin cells leaving you feeling renewed. Now that you have fully exfoliated, you can go get a mani and pedi. Pro tip If you plan on getting a spray tan it’s important to get your nails done beforehand because the exfoliation combined with the oils used during the treatment can potentially strip your tan.

Monday

It’s Monday and we want to start the week off strong! Go to the gym, book a yoga or Pilates class, or simply take a walk to move your body and get your endorphins going. We advise coming into iTAN to add a Photo Facial session to your fitness routine to tone and tighten your facial skin while reducing your pore size. 

Tuesday

Tuesday is a perfect day to work in a FIT Body Wrap session. After a Monday workout your muscles may be feeling sore, and the FIT Body Wrap is the perfect solution when it comes to relieving aches and pains within your muscles while helping you detox your skin! 

Wednesday

On Wednesdays, we get tans! It’s our favorite day of the week because we get to enhance our glows for the weekend. We offer Spray Tans and UV tanning beds as our different tanning services. If you are very active and don’t want to sweat off a spray, we recommend a Sunbed and TANOLOGY pairing designed to bring out the natural melanin in your skin. If you’re looking for instant color, we recommend using the Mystic Kyss or VersaSpa Pro to give you your most natural-looking “instant” tan. 

Thursday

Thursdays are meant for reflection! Apply the Mystic Tan Wake Up Tan Face Serum (available at iTAN for $25) before bed and wake up with the perfect color. This is also the perfect day to decide if you need to touch up your overall tan for the weekend or not!

Friday and Saturday

These days are simply to self-indulge and enjoy your tan! Set up a dinner date with your significant other or friends to show off how great you feel!

We hope you enjoyed our take on an ideal beauty routine! With iTAN’s affordable pricing, everyone can treat themselves to some self-care.

We want you to feel your absolute best and help with your beauty routine. We’ve come up with a list of our seven go-to beauty products so you can beat the heat and have a hot girl (or boy) summer! 

1. Cypher Titanium Face Intensifier

Wanting to look glowy and fresh-faced this summer is on the agenda! This hypoallergenic facial lotion has a tan technology that builds the natural melanin in your skin, moisturizing and improving your overall skin appearance after each use! You can find the Cypher Titanium Face Intensifier at your nearest iTAN for $39!

2. TANOLOGY Natural Bronzer

The TANOLOGY Natural Bronzer is a fan favorite for a reason! It also builds the natural melanin in your skin to provide the most natural results! You can use this right before you go into a sunbed or after. Purchase a single packet for $7.99 or sign up for our TANOLOGY Lotion Membership, and receive one packet for each sun session for just $12.95 a month! 

  3. Hemp Nation Aftercare Lotion & Body Wash

We want to make sure your tan lasts once you’ve gotten some color at iTAN, especially during the summer so we recommend the Hemp Nation aftercare lotion and bodywash. Most body washes remove your tan with each use, but Hemp Nation makes it last longer and has so many scents to choose from! The Hemp Nation aftercare lotion is $24, and the bodywash is $19 at iTAN.

4. Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Primer

Sweat is inevitable on hot days, yet it’s not always flattering. The Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer is a must-have if you want your makeup to last all day. Even on the hottest summer day, your makeup will stay put!

5. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

Another great beauty product is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray! After you have finished your makeup, spray it on to lock in and set all your makeup products. It leaves your skin looking glowy but not oily, and is a game-changer in the summer! 

6. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Spray Mist

We all know sunscreen is so important, and it’s hard to reapply once you’ve already done your makeup! This Neutrogena Sunscreen Spray Mist is great when you need to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day. It is very lightweight and also so convenient to take to the beach! 

7. Merit Blush Balm Cream

On days you want to go more natural and just add to your tan, the Merit Blush Balm Cream  adds the perfect natural flush. It’s hydrating, and there are multiple shades to choose from! 

This summer is going to be one to remember! Use this product guide to help your makeup last all day and achieve a tan and glowy look.

Weather is warmer, flowers are blooming and it’s time for a spring refresh! We’ve compiled a list of ways to get your mind & body spring-ready.

1. Soak Up the Sunshine

Spring means warmer weather, which means it’s time to spend more time outdoors! Take advantage of the prolonged sunshine, and make sure you’re getting Vitamin D and spending as much time outside as you can!

If you’re into watersports- try your hand at jet skiing, paddle boarding or surfing! If you want something land- based, hiking and biking are great ways to exercise while still soaking up the sun.

2. Drink More Water

Stay hydrated! Water is so important to just about every part of your body. Carrying a water bottle around with you is a great way to ensure you drink the water you need to stay active and energized.

3. Host Your Friends

Springtime is friend-time! Hosting a brunch for your friends at your place is a super fun and cute way to stay connected with everyone! Add a theme or a color scheme and have everyone dress up for the occasion- bonus points if you take a lot of cute photos!

4. Start a Blog

Even if it’s only for your own viewing, starting a blog is a fun way to romanticize your life and keep yourself and others up to date with your day to day life! If you’re super proud of the meals you cook every day, start a foodie blog. If you can’t go a weekend without exploring a new place- start a travel blog! Either way, you’ll be capturing memories.

5. Refresh at iTAN

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closet- refresh your body at iTAN! We offer a variety of Spa services that will leave you feeling like your new & improved self. Try our Hydration Station to enhance your Sun or Spray tan and promote hydration. Our FIT Bodywrap promotes detoxification, pain management and weight management.

6. Invest in a Spring Wardrobe 

Build your capsule closet! Quality pieces that never go out of style are the way to go this season, but we won’t judge if you throw in a few colorful & fun pieces too!

The inevitable has happened #iTANfans; winter is coming. So, what does that mean besides less bikinis and more turtlenecks? Well, it’s important to think about the colder weather and its effects on our skincare routine, too. 

Here are our tips for a winter skincare routine that will keep your skin glowing and hydrated throughout the seasons:

1. Moisturize

Swap out your light and breezy moisturizer for something a little richer, thicker and more emollient. Using a thicker moisturizer in the winter months helps to combat the sort of climate that leaves your skin dull and dehydrated. The Australian Gold Hemp Nation Original After Care Lotion has an ultimate moisturizing trio of shea butter, jojoba and glycerin that work together to hydrate and lock-in moisture to the skin (available at iTAN for $25). The perfect skincare product any time of the year!

2. Hydration

Your skin naturally becomes drier and more sensitive with colder weather and exposure to central heating. To maintain a beautiful glow, use a gentle, hydrating cleanser rather than harsh exfoliants. The Hydration Station is one of our favorite Spa services that promotes hydration using vitamin infused steam to soothe and nourish the skin.

 3. SPF

Yes, you still need it! Although the days are shorter and we’re experiencing less sun, it doesn’t mean we don’t need to continue to protect our skin. Enjoy the outdoors with confidence when you give your skin the unsurpassed protection and bronze tones of Australian Gold sunscreens like the AG SPF 30 Spray Gel (available at iTAN for $10.99). Don’t forget about your lips! The Designer Skin Lip Smoothie SPF 15 Lip Balm helps prevent overexposure and temporarily protects dry, chapped or windburned lips (available at iTAN for $3.99).

 4. Diet

With a direct connection between your gut and skin health, it’s important we focus on our diet and its effects on our skin. Fresh fruits and veggies can be a delicious snack and are packed with hydration your system needs; plus vitamins and nutrients. Water also helps your skin retain its elasticity, which means it can help fight the signs of aging!

 5. Nighttime Routine

One of the worst things we can do for our skin is fall asleep before washing away any makeup and build-up throughout the day. Using a serum and moisturizer after cleansing your face helps to ensure healthy, beautiful skin come morning.

Following these skincare steps will have you looking and feeling confident, #iTANfan! Stop into one of our 34 iTAN salons for the End of the Year Lotion Clearance Sale where all customers can take advantage of 30% off one 2019 multi-use product, 40% off any two, and 50% off any 3 or more 2019 multi-use products. Valid 10/1/19-12/31/19.

As we transition out of summer into snugglier weather, it’s super important that we continue to do things that make us happy.

And I think we can all agree that a home-cooked meal is guaranteed to please. But comfort food doesn’t always mean heavy or greasy. You can make healthy meals that fuel your body and detoxify your body in the most delicious way possible after summer and beyond.

I know there are a lot of fad diets right now. From keto to vegan to paleo— seems like everyone’s got an opinion. But the truth is that food is medicine.

If you’ve got issues with sleep, anxiety, digestion, or skin flare ups— what you need is a solid detox.

Your body is well equipped to purge itself of toxins that are horrible for your daily life and long-term health. But any time you feel, “off” you can always eat specific foods that help your detoxification operate to its highest capacity.

There are pretty much no rules when it comes to a gentle supporting detox. But if you’re looking to get the best results this summer:

#1 Cut triggers 

Sometimes we don’t even know that we are sensitive to foods. When you start to eat healthier, it’s most effective when you cut out things like: processed foods, refined sugar, alcohol, dairy and wheat.

I know that’s a lot to give up at once. But you can do it in increments and as your lifestyle allows.

#2 Add as many leafy greens to your diet as humanly possible

Leafy greans like: kale, lettuce, spinach, collard greens, and cabbage are packed with vitamins and trace minerals that your body desperately needs to function well.

In addition to the nutritive punch, these green friends help you get rid of fat by helping you change that fat into energy! So not only are you lookin’ great, you’ll feel more energized!

#3 Support your detox with herbal teas

Did you know that green tea boosts your metabolism and protects your organs? When you add digestive aids like ginger or peppermint, green tea becomes the ultimate detox tea!

#4 Treat yourself

 Just because you’re trying to better yourself does not mean that you can’t enjoy doing it.

On top of doing your best to feel amazing internally, you should definitely treat yourself to iTAN’s wellness services. They’re relaxing and scientifically proven to help you on your journey toward healthy living.

The FIT Bodywrap helps you lose weight by raising your internal temp—causing you to burn calories and fat via sweat without the workout. Its infrared system boosts your metabolism and cleanses the body of toxins which leads to long-lasting benefits like: balanced moods, clear skin, better digestion and boosted energy.

Combining any of these 4 amazing options is guaranteed to get you feeling and looking amazing as the summer ends.

Look Your Best with a Back to School Beauty Routine https://itan.com/beauty-tips/back-to-school-beauty/ Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:57:00 +0000 https://itan.com/?p=3009 Summer’s almost over, folks.

Summer’s almost over, folks. And with all the pumpkin spice lattes comes the first day back to school for all of you students out there. But we at iTAN have a special treat for ya!

Whether or not you’re excited or dreading the start of the school year, walk through those doors looking and feeling your best and own your back to school look!

Here’s the deal: From August 19- September 8 all students get one free Spray tan session and 1 free Photo Facial session. That’s right, it’s totally FREE.

There are two types of Auto Spray services available at iTAN the Mystic and the Versa. The Mystic gives you that sun-kissed golden color available in a variety of three different shades – light, medium & dark. The Versa is our other Spray booth option which leaves you with an even, bronzed glow each time. 

The Photo Facial Session lasts 20-minute and consists of high-tech LED and infrared lights, boosting blood flow while helping tone the skin, bring down inflammation, and shrink your pores; all while improving the quality of the skin and smoothing skin imperfections

All you’ve got to do is bring in your driver’s license or student ID! However, if you’re under 16, a parent must be present as well as provide consent.

If you have any questions about our Back to School Event call your local iTAN and they can get you the answers you need.

But once you get your skin feeling and looking great– how can you maintain that glow? High school and college are hard enough without having pesky stress breakouts, hormonal acne or (on the other end of the spectrum) itchy, red dry skin. 

What’s important for you guys, at this delicate age, is consistency

So here are 2 things you can add to your nightly routine that will help your skin stay clear and boost your confidence.

1. Wash your face.

Since you just did a spray tan, you don’t want to use an exfoliant that will scrub the colour out. You’ll want to use something you can simply spritz on– like a toner. There are loads of different ones available at makeup stores, but you can always opt to make your own.

Spray Tan Friendly Facial Cleanser

-1 cup water

-½ cup jojoba oil

-1 vitamin e oil capsule

-10 drops of lemon essential oil

-10 drops of lavender essential oil

Combine all of these ingredients into a spray bottle. Shake shake shake.

2. Hydrate!

That sounds really simple, but it’s absolutely important to, not only your skin, but your health in general. Keep your water bottle. Bring a glass of water to bed. Drink a cup of water upon waking. Trust me it’ll make all the difference.

But specific to your nightly routine: add a cup of relaxing tea. 

Chamomile, lavender, and peppermint are all good choices. These herbs specifically fight stress and relax your body so that you enter into deep sleep where your body can grow, retain information, and detox!

It’s just that simple, guys. Relax, stay hydrated, wash your face. Repeat.

And if that colour gave you the extra ego boost you need to walk the halls with pride, be sure to come back every Monday for $15 Spray tans at iTAN!

Out with the old, in with the new; goodbye winter, hello spring! With the changing seasons, it’s a great time to change up your beauty routine. When it comes to all things  beauty and fashion, social influencer Lauren Keyes is giving our #iTANfans an exclusive inside scoop to the top beauty trends for spring.

1. Do you change up your skincare routine from winter to spring? What are some of your favorite products to help keep your skin healthy and glowing during the warmer season?

Definitely! My skin changes drastically from winter to spring, and I prefer to wear less makeup during the warmer season. My favorite product for a sun-kissed look that also provides coverage is Nars Tinted Moisturizer. This leaves my skin looking natural and glowing.

My ultimate secret weapon, you may ask? Making sure I’m hydrated and drinking lots of water to help with the appearance and condition of my skin!

2. What are your favorite iTAN services? How do your favorite iTAN services help you maintain your glow throughout the season?

I absolutely love all the iTAN services! An anti-aging Beauty Angel session keeps my body nice and toned, especially in the warmer months! When I’m in need for a quick glow, I stop in for a 10-minute Mystic Tan.

My secret for even better results is starting with the Sun Pro Custom Bed before a spray tan and then following up with a spray session paired with a Mystic bronzer for an extra deep color!

Using body washes that have no sulfates also helps me maintain my tan while moisturizing my skin.

3. Describe your typical makeup look/routine.

Classic makeup looks has always been my style. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love splashing in some pink blush for a vibrant, fresh look! I like to coordinate my outfit and makeup, so I’ll usually hang my outfit behind me while I apply for an easy match. As a busy mom, I’ve created a solid, everyday makeup routine: Nars Tinted Moisturizer, a touch of brow gel, mascara (of course), pink blush and a nude lip.

4. What is your go-to spring #ootd?

I love to mix and match different garments together and create a new look everyday. My wardrobe staples are bodysuits and high waisted shorts; you can never go wrong with those! Throw a lightweight sweater on top, and it’s perfect for those spring nights.

A trend I’m loving this spring is all the neon clothes and accessories! To make my neon clothing really pop, I get a VersaPro Spray Tan to maximize my glow. For a comfortable yet chic look, my go-to is biker shorts with chunky sneakers and a graphic t-shirt.

5.What are some of your must-have spring accessories?

Accessories, accessories, accessories! I believe your outfit is never complete without a few of, you guessed it, accessories. Sun hats with sayings on them are perfect for adding some fun to your wardrobe this spring. If hats aren’t your thing, a great head scarf can give you total Blair Waldorf vibes! If you’re heading to the beach, don’t forget your angular sunnies and a plastic handbag to complete your look!

Follow Lauren on Instagram and Facebook for her latest beauty tips and tricks and fashion must-haves!
