UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Do not take more than one tanning session per day, over a period
of five to ten days.
Allow an interval of at least 48 hours between the first and the
second session.
After this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a
rest for a while.
Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost
much of its tan.You can then start a new course.
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course,
but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week.
Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you
continue tanning on a lower frequency, do remember that you
must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours.
For this appliance the maximum is 21 tanning hours (=1260
minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 8-minute session
on the first day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days.
The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9x 20 minutes) =
188 minutes.
This means you can take 6 of these courses in a year, as 6 x 188
minutes = 1128 minutes
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each
separate part or side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back and front
of the body).
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should
always last 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.
If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin
B
feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the
length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.
For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so
B
that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning rays.
