Use The Sunbed - But Use It Properly - ergoline Vitamin D3 Operating Instructions Manual

Please read and observe ...
Use the sunbed – but use it properly!
The system is used to encourage Vitamin exchange by means of ultravi-
olet light (UV light). This positive effect on health is a follow-on effect from
the sun's natural light. Moreover, if the sunbed is used regularly, the user
will achieve a minor degree of browning.
A few things need to be noted to get maximum enjoyment out of a solar-
ium. Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions.
Make-up on the sunbed?
Please don't. Clean skin absorbs UV light better.
A wide variety of materials is found in cosmetics. Again, whether these
are emulsifiers, greases, or so-called scents – in conjunction with UV
light, these can cause allergic reactions of the skin.
Accordingly, this is a must before using the solarium: Remove all make-
up. This is essential. Make-up clogs the pores in the face. The UV light
from a sunbed 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 de-
cent make-up might be – in conjunction with UV light, it causes more
harm than good. Therefore: Remove all make-up before a session on
your sunbed – it will be much better applied afterwards.
Showering?
The UV light effects are 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 sunbed compatible?
It is known that some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to UV
light. This probability is particularly high with antibiotics, sulphonamides,
psychiatric drugs, tranquillizers, anti-diabetes treatments and diuretics.
Suncreams which contain psorale or kumarin also increase skin sensitiv-
ity. If you are in any doubt, first ask your doctor – then you can enjoy the
sun at no risk.
Contact lenses in the solarium?
The answer is: Yes! Like any other solarium user, contact lens wearers
should also wear special protective goggles which protect the eyes
against UV radiation. To guarantee better protection, wearers of specta-
cles and contact lenses can ask their optician for exchange contact lens-
es with UV protection. The UV-A and UV-B filters built into exchange
contact lenses will protect the cornea and the internal parts of the eye
against almost 100% of the energy in UV radiation.
This will benefit solarium users not only in the open, but also on the
sunbed. You can wear these contact lenses even on the sunbed without
any restrictions. For more information, ask your optician or optometrist.
