for sensible tanning
These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of tanning equipment. We
1 Before starting to tan first carefully read through the tan-
ning instructions set out in this booklet and follow all of the
recommendations.
2 Restrict sunbathing on a tanning unit to people older than
15 years with skin type 2 - 6. Children younger than 15 year
and people with skin type 1 have skins that are highly sen-
sitive to ultraviolet light.
3 Make sure that upon commencing a series of tanning ses-
sions your customers have a rest day following their first
tanning session. If there is no sign of any undesirable skin
reaction they can then continue with the series of sessions.
4 Make sure that your customers do not tan more than once
a day. This applies to tanning on the sunappliance and tan-
ning in natural sunlight. The skin does not make a distinc-
tion between the two either. Taking exposure to natural
sunlight into account, keep the maximum number of ses-
sions on the sunappliance to approximately 50 sessions a
year.
5 Some medicines and beauty products contain substances
which can cause certain undesirable reactions when combi-
ned with exposure to UV radiation. Other substances may
also sometimes have a similar effect. Below you will find a
list of substances which can react when combined with
exposure to UV radiation:
• Sulphonamide - in various medicines including antibiotics
• Tetracyclines - in antibiotics, antiacne preparations
• Nalidexine acid - in medication for infection of the urinary
passages
• Chlorothiazide - in diuretics
• Sulphonylurea - in diabetic medication
• Phenothiazines - anti-stress medication
• Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives
• Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators
• Cyclamates - in sweeteners
• Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sun protection
creams/oils
• Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes
• Bleaching agents - in washing powders/liquids
• Eosine - in colourings
• Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal substances
10 Golden rules
advise you to inform your clients about these rules.
6 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet light, cosmetic
products - perfumes and make-up, can cause the skin to
react. So take care to ensure that your customers skin is
clean before tanning. Some products penetrate deep into
the skin. Advise your customers to ensure that their skin is
clean when tanning. Recommend that they clean their skin
thoroughly a few hours before each tanning session, or bet-
ter still, recommend that they wear no make-up at all the
day before. Also advise your customers to remove any
jewellery before tanning.
7 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 influence tanning times and thus make the prescri-
bed times unreliable. Also make sure that your customers
do not use tanning pills in combination with a series of tan-
ning sessions or exposure to natural sunlight. The combina-
tion of tanning pills and UV light can increase the possibili -
ty of skin irritation and sunburn.
8 If the skin is red and taut a short time after the tanning ses-
sion it is likely to be sunburnt. Wait 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.
9 Make sure that your customers always wear protective gog-
gles to protect their eyes - even if you may have seen pic-
tures of people tanning without using these goggles. UV
light which directly enters the eyes can cause eye disorders
(snow blindness, actinic conjunctivitis or cataracts).
10 Reduce the tanning time by 20% during the first 50 hours
that the (new) sunappliance is in use. During these first 50
hours the tubes do not emit the normal 100% energy but
120% energy. After the first 50 hours the tubes will emit the
normal capacity of between 95% to 100%.
