Tanning and your health
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.
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?').
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 in chapter 'Important' and section 'Tanning sessions: how
often and how long?' .
- that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters and the body) is 70cm.
- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 19 hours or
1140 minutes).
- that you always wear the goggles provided while you are tanning.
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 this appliance, the maximum is 19 tanning hours (= 1140 minutes) a year.
- If you have stopped a course and have not continued with it for a long period, do not
proceed with the remaining number of sessions of this course but start a new course.
