Step Two Surging ahead lotions......for deep, dark results beyond the tanning plateau

When you can't seem to get any darker with the lotions that you're currently using. You have reached what is commonly referred to as the "tanning plateau." This happens when you continued UV exposure thickens the skin, preventing additional UV light to penetrate and inhibit further tanning results. At this point you need to "graduate" to California Tan's Step 2 products.

What they do: Step Two products are scientifically-formulated to condition the skin to break through the tanning plateau for deeper, darker results
When they should be used: Step Two products should be applied to the skin prior to each tanning session.
