1.6 General tanning instructions
1.6.1 General information
Who can get a tan?
Anyone who can get a tan in natural sunshine. People with sensitive skin will tan more
easily and without risk of burning because the amount of radiation can be accurately
measured on Ergoline sunbeds.
What are the recommended tanning times ?
Although there is virtually no risk of burning using UV method of tanning, you should
initially pay attention to the sensitivity of individual skin types.
Risk of skin injuries and skin diseases!
Keep to the recommended tanning times. Refer to section 1.7.
How many tanning sessions are necessary?
Here too, it depends upon the tanning ability of the skin type – just as with natural
sunlight under a clear sky. As a general rule, skin that tans normally will have a beautiful
even tan after 3 to 5 sessions of between 4 to 10 minutes. You should tan every second
day. To retain your tan once it has been achieved, between 1 and 2 sessions per week
will be sufficient.
Should I use a suntan cream?
No! Cosmetic suntan creams with a sun protection factor are intended to filter out the
aggressive rays of the sun. Rays of this type are present in Ergoline sunbeds in
extremely small quantities so that this type of protection is quite unnecessary. Instead,
the skin should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before each tanning session.
We particularly recommend treating the skin with the range of special skin-care products
from Ergoline. Before tanning (pre sun) and after tanning (après sun). This product range
contains a special combination of selected active ingredients: aloe vera extract, jojoba
oil, D-panthenol and elastin. It cleans the skin, helps to slow down the aging process and
adds moisture. This will leave the skin soft, smooth and supple. These lotions can be
pleasantly and easily massaged, penetrating deeply without leaving any residue.
Ask your Ergoline agency about the Ergoline range of products.
Heat erythema
In certain cases, heat erythemas may occur with people with sensitive skin, i. e. the skin
becomes red as a result of the residual infrared radiation (heat radiation). This reddening
is not sunburn and will not impair your health. You should reduce tanning times to enable
the skin to become more gradually accustomed to the tanning process.
