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 will take some time.The first effect will only become visible after a few sessions (see 'Tanning

sessions: how often and how long?').

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.

Therefore it is highly important:

that you follow the instructions given in 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';

that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?');

that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.

Tanning sessions: how often and how long?

Take one tanning session a day for five to ten days.Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second session.After

this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest 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 taking 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 this appliance the maximum is 20 hours (= 1200 minutes) a year.

Example

Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of a 8-minute tanning session on the first day and a 20-minute tanning session on the

following nine days.

The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes.

This means you can take 6 of these courses a year, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes.

Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back and front of

the body).

Table

As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.

If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. if the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the sessions by

e.g. 5 minutes.
