You should be changing your lotions around, especially if you're using a tingle. You will become too used to the tingle and plateau, which sounds like you already have. Switch to a different non bronzing lotion for a while, then go back to tingle. Switch on and off like that from now on. And...don't be a tanorexic, I am sure you are very dark. Tanorexia can be an illness in some tanners. I hate hearing "I feel like I'm just washing my tan away everytime." Stop it...get on a moderate tanning schedule and switch those lotions around!

What she said........ plus exfoliate once a month and make sure you keep your skin moisturized....I think that you are tanning WAY too much, take a break & start over again .

Yep, what they said. You might also want to try a lotion made specifially for your face. I personally like Envy My Flawless Face by Matahari.

What they all said PLUS, try changing your the bed your tanning in. You said you are using a regular bed 5 times a week. Upgrade! Get into a bigger and better bed once in a while. My clients never stay in level one. They are upgrading constantly, because they see what a difference it makes. Get in the higher level beds and you won't have to go as much either. Have you asked anyone who works at the salon for advice? If so, did they have an answer for you? What was it??

Take the advice of all the above posters. And you really don't need to be tanning 5 days a week.

5 Times a week is a little excessive, anyone else agree with me? I mean how long have you been going 5 times a week for?
Cayenee is right spend a little more and go in a upgrade bed. CT7 is probally a great product for you helps reduce the negative effects of tanning.

And as far as your face, are you wiping off your make up before you tan? Or what type of face lotion are you using? Anything with vitamin A or any wrinkle wreckers will take off your tan quicker.
