A couple things using bronzers 1) make sure you are using a good indoor tanning lotion. 2) apply bonzers in a cicular motion all over, if you go up and down then you are running the risk of streaking if you do it in small circles all over and get all your body parts you will not streak. After applying a bronzer use a baby wipe to take off of hands so they turn brown. As far as getting darker in the beds: You need to tan every day or every other day for a few weeks to get the best color and using the upgrade beds will give you even better, faster results. Using a bed that tans deeper into the skin will give you a deeper color in conjunction with a hi-intensity for the surface color.

Helpful tips by: Sharra
Hey KRC, have you tried mixing your beds up? You skin just like your hair can build up an immunity to the same thing all the time. The bronzing beds (UVA) work best for me, while I lay in them I also turn around in the bed and put my feet under the face tanners since your feet are so hard to tan. Also you may try a natural bronzer, they still contain bronzing agents that help increase your melanin production up to 17%, but they don't streak you. If you continue to use topical bronzers just make sure that your rub them in completly and evenly, making sure that you wipe your hands off right afterwards, especially between your fingers. Hope some of this helps you.

Reached a plateau by: Anonymous
It sounds like you may have reached a plateau with your current tanning lotion. If you are using a lotion that works in levels, you may need to move up to the next level.
