Please check for any conditions that may prohibit the use of this device – see
chapters 5, 6, 8, 10.
Make-up in the tanning device
Please do not wear make-up. Clean skin absorbs UV light better.
A wide variety of materials is found in cosmetics. Whether these are emulsifi-
ers, greases, or fragrances - in conjunction with UV radiation, these can
cause skin allergy reactions.
Remove all make-up. This is essential. Make-up clogs the pores in the face.
The UV light from a tanning device 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 make-up looks -
in conjunction with UV light, it causes more harm than good. Therefore re-
move all make-up before a session in your tanning device - it will be much
better applied afterwards.
Remove all jewelry (including piercings) prior to the application.

Are medications and the tanning device 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. Sun creams
which contain psorale or kumarin also increase skin sensitivity. If you are in
any doubt, first ask your doctor.
Contact lenses in the tanning device?
Like any other tanning device user, contact lens wearers should also wear
special protective goggles which protect the eyes against UV radiation.
Showering after leaving the tanning device?
The browning is in the skin, not on it. Therefore you cannot wash it off. Treat
your skin to a moisturizing cream after showering.
