Make sure that your skin is well moisturized!.. The tanning process is also affected by your ethnicity. You may also have a hard time tanning if you are a smoker.. or if you are lacking certain vitamins and minerals ie. Iron...
Check out this website..
www.iamtan.com
it will give you advice on how to get really dark color and different products that are availible..
Goodluck!
P.S. to the answer below: Baby oil (aka mineral oil) clogs pores and causes pimples and irritation and it not recommend for use on your skin.. plus you cannot use any products containing mineral oil in a tanning bed if you chose to tan indoors :)

well u must get in sea water first then lie down n pour some beer on ur skin.. ya beer i really mean it just try it n stay there for max. 2 hours not more as sun rays r sooo harmfull on skin especially for white races n safe sun rays r at 8 till 10 am n at 4 pm n its so dangerous inbetween .. i mean from 10 am till 4 pm

I don't tan much either, this is a GOOD thing, because that means I can get the same amount of sun as other people with less skin damage. count your blessings!

Well, if you don't want to use tanning oil, then you can just use BABY OIL. It is completly safe, moisturizes your skin, and helps you get a tan FASTER. It has worked for me before :)
