General information about tanning
You can tan safely all year round underneath this sun lamp if you follow these guidelines
correctly. Our skin is tanned by invisible ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This radiation
darkens the pigment already present in our skin and stimulates the formation of more
pigment known as melanin. The production of new melanin cells and the darkening of these
make the skin stay tanned longer. There are a number of different types of ultraviolet
radiation. Ultraviolet A radiation (UVA), which colors the pigment cells brown, and
ultraviolet B radiation (UVB), which stimulates the production of melanin cells, but also
causes sunburn, are the most well-known types. Your sun lamp provides mostly UVA
radiation so that the danger of sunburn is reduced. How quickly and how deep you tan
depends on your skin type. The skin type also detain lines how long one can (safely) stay in
the sun. This is true for both the real sun as well as the sun lamp. In order to make the
best use of your sun lamp, first check your skin type using the following table. Further on in
these instructions, you will find the different skin types in the tables with the recommended
tanning times. If your skin falls into the type 1 or 2 category, we recommend you do not
use the facial tanner at all.
