insufficiently cooled (e.g. because the vents are covered), the appliance switches off
automatically. Once you have removed the cause of overheating and the appliance has cooled
down, it switches on automatically again.
- If your skin feels taut after the tanning session, you can apply a moisturising cream.
- To acquire an even tan, lie straight below the lamp unit.
- Colours fade under the influence of the sun. The same effect may occur when you use this
appliance.
- Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun.

scientific evidence available today.

tanning and your health

The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us
a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays provides the heat in which we like to bask.
Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process takes some time. The first effect only becomes
visible after a few sessions (see section 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?').
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can
cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of
a tanning appliance may increase the risk of skin and eye problems. The degree to which these
effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one hand
and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis,
conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature skin ageing and the development of skin
tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.Therefore it is
highly important:
- that you follow the instructions in chapter 'Important' and section 'Tanning sessions: how often
and how long?'.
- that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters and the body) is 70cm.
- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 19 hours or 1140
minutes).
- that you always wear the goggles provided while you are tanning.
