Tanning - the right way!

A few things need to be noted to in order to obtain maximum enjoyment from
a tanning device. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
Make-up in the tanning device?
Please do not wear make-up. Clean skin absorbs UV light better.
A wide variety of materials is found in cosmetics. Whether these are emulsifi-
ers, greases, or fragrances - in conjunction with UV radiation, these can
cause skin allergy reactions.
Accordingly, a must before using a tanning device is: Remove all make-up.
This is essential. Make-up clogs the pores in the face. The UV light from a
tanning device re-opens these clogged pores so that not only does the light
penetrate the skin, but also the allergenic components of the make-up.
A further negative consequence of make-up is that the appearance of the skin
deteriorates irreversibly over a period of time. However good a decent make-
up looks - in conjunction with UV light, it causes more harm than good. There-
fore: Remove all make-up before a session in your tanning device - it will be
much better applied afterwards.
Showering after leaving the tanning device?
The browning is in the skin, not on it. Therefore you cannot wash it off. Treat
your skin to a moisturizing cream after showering.
Are medications and the tanning device compatible?
It is known that some medicaments increase the skin's sensitivity to UV light.
This probability is particularly high with antibiotics, sulphonamides, psychiatric
drugs, tranquillizers, anti-diabetes treatments and diuretics. Sun creams
which contain psorale or kumarin also increase skin sensitivity. If you are in
any doubt, first ask your doctor - then you can enjoy the sun at no risk.
