TANNING RULES
• Each user should strictly observe the RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE SCHEDULE listed on the tanning unit.
• Make sure that the tanning unit is equipped with a TIMER. Never use a sunbed without a timer or
with defective timer. The maximum timer interval on the timer may not exceed the maximum recommend-
ed exposure time indicated on your tanning unit.
• Never use a sunbed without filters (i. e. clear and blue filters for the facials) or with defective fil-
ters. Missing or defective filters can cause severe sunburn.
• Avoid any risk of over-exposure. Possible symptoms of excessive exposure include red and itchy skin,
which may blister and peel off, and a painful, itchy rash. Note: Sensitive skin can react with a heat rash im-
mediately after a tanning session. This is due to the remaining infra-red heat rays and is not a sunburn if the
symptom disappears shortly after the tanning session.
• USE PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR! Wear goggles or other UV-blocking eye protection at all times during a tan-
ning session. Remove contact lenses. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye injury.
• Medications may considerably increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Some
reported photosensitizing medications are, for instance, Antihistamines, Contraceptives, Psoralens, Sulfon-
amides, Tetracyclines, Antidepressants. There are also some medical conditions that can make tanning ex-
tremely hazardous. In case of doubt, consult your physician prior to using a sunbed.
• If you notice any abnormal skin reaction during or after a tanning session, do not use tanning
equipment again before consulting a physician.
• Remove all makeup and other cosmetics before you take a session. Don't use deodorants or per-
fume immediately before a sunbath. These products, too, may contain ingredients that may increase your
sensitivity to the ultraviolet light. Skin should be dry and clean when taking a tanning session.
• Also remove all jewelry before a tanning session in order to avoid possible allergic reactions and unat-
tractive stripes.
• Use only skincare products designed specifically for indoor tanning immediately before and after a tanning
session. Don't use any screens or sun lotions for outdoor tanning. These products have been created
for a different purpose and a different UV-light spectrum than indoor tanning products and some may also
cause photosensitizing or allergic reaction when used for indoor tanning.
• It is recommended to use specifically designed indoor tanning products. Pre-and after-tanning mois-
turizers will enhance your tan and keep the skin soft and supple.
• Take a series of controlled tanning sessions! The cumulative effect of multiple sessions will produce
increased stimulation of pigment forming cells and result in a long lasting, rich tan which protects better
against sunburn.
• Only use indoor tanning equipment once a day. Don't sunbathe outside on days you use indoor
tanning equipment.
• Please remember that those parts of your body which are normally not exposed to sunlight, will react more
sensitively to ultraviolet light. Generally unexposed areas are likely to react more sensitively to
ultraviolet exposure than the face or arms. Keep also in mind that in spring, after the lack of sunlight in winter,
your skin reacts much more sensitively to ultraviolet light than in fall.
• After an intensive series of tanning sessions or an extensive holiday in the sun, take a rest period of some
weeks before working on the maintenance of your tan.
ALWAYS USE INDOOR TANNING EQUIPMENT IN A RESPONSIBLE AND CONTROLLED WAY.
AVOID ANY POSSIBLE HEALTH RISKS BY OBSERVING RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
TIMES AND TANNING RULES.
