Dry skin.
Laying in the tanning bed will cause that, and dry patches don't tan well, and places that aren't so dry, will tan just fine. Leaving splotchy skin. =]
The woman who works wear I tan says to always use tanning bed lotion when laying. Something is always better than nothing. If you don't, your skin will dry out easier.
When laying in the tanning bed on a regular basis like you are, keep lotion on as much as you can. Preferably once when you wake up, after you shower, and before you go to bed, to prevent the dry skin.

Another idea for you to be aware of, is turning in the bed. Most people think they just go in there, lay down, and stay there in one spot until the time is up. That is not true. The tanning beds have a higher heat rate on the bottom bulbs, so it causes uneven tanning. I would suggest that if you are in the bed for 8 minutes, you turn from each side every two minutes. For example, the first two minutes lay on your back. After that, the next to minutes turn to one of your sides. Then, after those two minutes, you turn on your stomach for two minutes. For the last two minutes, you would turn on the other side. This will make it a more even tan. Whatever your minutes are, just divide by 4 and turn that many minutes later.

I've had that problem too when I haven't used tanning lotion. Next time, try using lotion- but a lower SPF if you really want to tan a lot. It would be better for your skin too because tanning without a lotion is not very good for you. I know a girl who tanned without lotion or oil or anything and her skin like, turned red and cracked. It was gross, but it could have been prevented.
