How Do I Work Tanning Into My Regular Beauty Routine (in alignment with gym, nails, facials etc.)

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!

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.

Your Winter Skincare Routine at iTAN

Jamie Paris — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 19:20:45 +0000

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.
