Golden rules for sensible tanning
These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of tanning equipment. We advise you to inform your clients about these rules.
1 Before your client starts tanning, first thorough-
ly consult the tanning table included in this
book and follow the recommendation given.

sumes responsibility for their safety.
3 Sunbeds are not suitable for use by:
• Persons whose skin is prone to burn with-
out being exposed to sunlight
• Persons whose skin is already sunburned
or has been burned in a tanning bed
• Persons who have been diagnosed with

• Seek medical advise if persistent lumps or
sores appear on the skin or if there are
changes in pigmented moles.
• persons with a family history of melano-
ma.

ceiving photosensitising medications

4 Make sure that upon commencing a series of
tanning sessions your customers have a rest
day following their first tanning session. If
there is no sign of any undesirable skin re-
action they can then continue with the series
of sessions.
5 Make sure that your customers do not tan
more than once a day. This applies to tanning
using an appliance and tanning in natural sun-
light. The skin does not make a distinction
between the two. Take exposure to natural
sunlight into account.
6 Some medicines and beauty products contain
substances which can cause certain undesira-
ble reactions when combined with exposure
to UV radiation. Other substances may also
sometimes have a similar effect. Below you
will find a list of substances which can react
when combined with exposure to UV radia-
tion:
• Sulphonamide - in various medications,
including antibiotics
• Tetracyclines - in antibiotics and acne
medication
• Nalidexine acid - in urinary tract infection
medication
• Chlorothiazide - in diuretics
• Sulphonylurea - in diabetes medication
• Phenothiazines - anxiety medication
• Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives
• Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators
• Cyclamates - in sweeteners
• Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sun-
screen creams/oils
• Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes
• Bleaching agents - in washing powders/
liquids
• Eosine - in colourings
• Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal
substances
7 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet
light, cosmetic products, e.g. perfumes and
make-up can cause the skin to react. Ensure
that your customers skin is clean before they
start tanning. Some products penetrate deep
into the skin. Advise your customers to make
sure that their skin is clean during their tan-
ning session. Recommend that they cleanse
their skin thoroughly a few hours before each
tanning session, or better still, recommend
that they wear no make-up at all the day
before. Also tell your customers to remove any
jewellery before tanning.
8 Make sure that your customers do not use
cream or oil that contains a sun block or self-
tanning lotion when using the tanning
equipment. These products contain substanc-
es which influence tanning times and thus
make the prescribed times unreliable. Also
make sure that your customers do not use
tanning pills in combination with a series of
tanning sessions or exposure to natural sun-
light. The combination of tanning pills and UV
light can increase the possibility of skin irri-
tation and sunburn.
9 If the skin is red and taut shortly after the tan-
ning session it is likely sunburned. Wait one
week for these symptoms to disappear before
tanning again, revise the tanning plan and re-
duce the length of the individual tanning ses-
sions for the customer in question. If tanning
gives rise to undesirable reactions that you
cannot explain, stop the series of tanning ses-
sions and advise your customer to see their
doctor if the symptoms do not disappear
within a short space of time.
10 Make sure that your customers always wear
protective goggles to protect their eyes - even
if you may have seen pictures of people tan-
ning without using these goggles. UV light
which directly enters the eyes can cause eye
disorders (snow blindness, actinic conjunctivitis
or cataracts). Contact lenses and sun glasses
are not a substitute for goggles.
11 Reduce tanning time by 20% during the first
50 hours when using new lamps. During these
50 hours, the lamps emit 120% power instead
of the usual 100%. After the first 50 hours,
lamps will supply the usual 95% to 100%
power for approx. 450 hours.
12 Protect sensitive skin parts such as scars, tat-
toos and genitals from exposure.
13 In cases of pronounced individual sensitivity
or allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation,
medical advice is recommended before start-
ing exposure
If your customers are using any
medication, ask them to consult their doctor
before starting a series
of tanning sessions.
