Why aren't I getting any darker?

Reaching a Tanning Plateau

After using a tanning bed a number of times, you may notice that your skin doesn't seem to be getting any darker. This is known as a tanning plateau. Your skin reaches a tanning plateau because there is a limit as to how much melanin your skin will produce, especially because tanning bed salons regulate how much time you are allowed to lie in a bed. If you're unhappy with the plateau you've reached, you can try using a tanning lotion with an accelerator ingredient in it to deepen your tan even more.
