Tanning and your health
The sun, uV and tanning
The sun
The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays
provides the heat in which we like to bask.
uV and your health
Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process takes some time. The first effect only becomes visible after a few sessions (see section 'Tanning
sessions: how often and how long?' for your type of appliance).
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk of
skin and eye problems. The degree to which these effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one
hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature
skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.
It is therefore highly important:
- that you follow the instructions in chapter 'Important' and section 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see section 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?' for your
type of appliance);
- that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning;
- that the tanning distance (distance between the canopy and your body) is at least 20cm.
8V: Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
- Do not take more than one tanning session a day, over a period of 5 to 10 days.
- Take a break of at least 48 hours between the first and the second session.
- After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to stop tanning for a while.
- Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then start a new course.
- If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue with one or two tanning sessions a week.
- Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower frequency, always keep in mind that you must
not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours.
- For type 8V, the maximum is 21 tanning hours (= 1260 minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 8-minute session on the first day and a 20-minute session on each of the following nine days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes.
Note:In one year you can take 6 of these courses, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes.
- Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the
body).
Table
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course must always last 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.

If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the
length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.
For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning light.
If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.
10V, 10/1V and 12V: Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
