1 Before your client takes his or her tan in a tanning unit first
consult thoroughl y the tanning table that you will find in
this book and follow its recommendations.
2 People have different reactions to sunlight. Somebody with
a pale complexion should take more care when tanning than
somebody with a darker complexion. Sun beds should not
be used by people:
- Whose skin displays signs of burning due to the simple
fact of being exposed to sunlight.
- Who have already been burned by the sun.
- Who have a skin condition or have or have had skin
cancer.
- Who are younger than 16 years.
With skin type 1.
3 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 reaction they can then continue with the series of
sessions.
4 Make sure that your customers do not tan more than once a
day. This applies to tanning on the sunappliance and tanning
in natural sunlight. The skin does not make a distinction
between the two either. Taking exposure to natural sunlight
into account.
5 Some medicines and beauty products contain substances
which can cause certain undesirable reactions when com-
bined 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 radiation:
• Sulphonamide - in various medicines including antibiotics
• Tetracyclines - in antibiotics, antiacne preparations
• Nalidexine acid - in medication for infection of the urinary
passages
• Chlorothiazide - in diuretics
• Sulphonylurea - in diabetic medication
• Phenothiazines - anti-stress medication
• Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives
• Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators
• Cyclamates - in sweeteners
• Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sun protection
creams/oils
10 Golden rules
advise you to inform your clients about these rules.
• Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes
• Bleaching agents - in washing powders/liquids
• Eosine - in colourings
• Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal substances
6 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet light, cosmetic
products - perfumes and make-up, can cause the skin to
react. So take care to ensure that your customers skin is
clean before tanning. Some products penetrate deep into
the skin. Advise your customers to ensure that their skin
is clean when tanning. Recommend that they clean their
skin thoroughl y a few hours before each tanning session, or
better still, recommend that they wear no make-up at all
the day before. Also advise your customers to remove any
jewellery before tanning.
7 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
substances 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 sunlight.
The combination of tanning pills and UV light can increase
the possibility of skin irritation and sunburn.
8 If the skin is red and taut a short time after the tanning ses-
sion it is likel y to be sunburnt. Wait for these symptoms to
disappear before tanning again, revise the tanning plan and
reduce the length of the individual tanning sessions for the
customer in question. If tanning gives rise to undesirable
reactions that you cannot explain, stop the series of tanning
sessions and advise your customer to see their doctor if the
symptoms do not disappear within a short space of time.
9 Make sure that your customers al w ays wear protective
goggles to protect their eyes - even if you may have seen
pictures of people tanning without using these goggles. UV
light which directl y enters the eyes can cause eye disorders
(snow blindness, actinic conjunctivitis or cataracts).
10 Reduce the tanning time by 20% during the first 50 hours
that the (new) sunappliance is in use. During these first 50
hours the tubes do not emit the normal 100% energy but
120% energy. After the first 50 hours the tubes will emit the
normal capacity of between 95% to 100%.
