These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of

4 Make sure that upon commencing a
series of tanning sessions your customers
Note:
If your customers are using any medication, ask them to consult their doctor before starting a series of tanning sessions.
6
have a rest day following their
tanning session. If there is no sign of any
undesirable skin reaction 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 sunlight. 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 undesirable reactions when
combined with exposure to UV radiation.
Other substances may also sometimes
have a similar e ect. Below you will
nd a list of substances which can react
when combined with exposure to UV
radiation:
• 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
sunscreen 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
tanning 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
rst 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 substances which
in uence 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.
9 If the skin is red and taut shortly after the
tanning session it is likely sunburned.
Wait one week 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.
10 Make sure that your customers always
wear protective goggles to protect their
eyes - even if you may have seen pictures
of people tanning without using these
goggles. UV light which directly enters
the eyes can cause eye disorders (snow
blindness, actinic conjunctivitis
cataracts). Contact lenses and sun glasses
are not a substitute for goggles.
11 Reduce tanning time by 20% during the
rst 50 hours when using new lamps.
During these 50 hours, the lamps emit
120% power instead of the usual 100%.
After the rst 50 hours, lamps will supply
the usual 95% to 100% power for approx.
450 hours.
12 Protect sensitive skin parts such as scars,
tattoos and genitals from exposure.
13 In cases of pronounced individual
sensitivity or allergic
ultraviolet radiation, medical advice is
recommended before starting exposure
or
reaction to
