I have reached a tanning plateau, I just cant get any darker. What can I do?
Your skin becomes thicker as your tanning progresses and makes it difficult for UV light to penetrate the upper layers of skin. This is commonly referred to as a tanning Plateau. Moisturizer is extremely important at this point. Your skin cells are standing up as much as 45 degrees and are actually reflecting UV rays. A tan is your bodys natural defense to a sunburn. Using a lot of moisturizing lotion will help these cells lay down and become more translucent, therefore more receptive to UV rays. We suggest rotating lotions use step 1 during a tanning session. Switch to a step 2 during your next session. Keep a rotation up and use moisturizer, you will get over your plateau.
