for sensible tanning
These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of tanning equipment.
1 Before your client takes his or her tan in a tanning unit first
consult thoroughl y the tanning table that you will find in this
book and follow its recommendations.
2 This sunbed is not suitable for use by:
• Persons with reduced sensory and/or mental capacity
• Persons lacking knowledge of or experience with sunbeds,
with the exception of individuals who are being supervised
or have received instructions regarding the use of the sun-
bed by a person who assumes responsibility for their safety.
3 Sunbeds are not suitable for use by:
• Persons whose skin is prone to burn without being exposed
to sunlight
• Persons whose skin is already sunburned or has been
burned in a tanning bed
• Persons who have been diagnosed with skin cancer or
precursors of skin cancer
• Persons without a doctor's advice who experience unex-
pected symptoms such as itching within 48 hours of using a
sunbed for the first time.
• Persons younger than 18
4 Make sure that upon commencing a series of tanning sessions
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.
5 Make sure that your customers do not tan more than once a
day. This applies to tanning on the sunappliance and tanning
in natural sunlight. The skin does not make a distinction
between the two either. Taking exposure to natural sunlight
into account.
6 Some medicines and beauty products contain substances
which can cause certain undesirable reactions when combined
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
Golden rules
We advise you to inform your clients about these rules.
• 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
7 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 thoroughl y a few hours
before each tanning session, or better still, recommend that
they wear no make-up at all the day before. Also advise your
customers to remove any jewellery before tanning.
8 Make sure that your customers do not use cream or oil that con-
tains a sun block or self-tanning lotion when using the tanning
equipment. These products contain substances which influence
tanning times and thus make the prescribed times unreliable.
Also make sure that your customers do not use tanning pills in
combination with a series of tanning sessions or exposure to
natural sunlight. The combination of tanning pills and UV light
can increase the possibility of skin irritation and sunburn.
9 If the skin is red and taut a short time after the tanning session
it is likel y to be sunburnt. Wait for these symptoms to disap-
pear 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.
10 Make sure that your customers al w ays wear protective goggles
to protect their eyes - even if you may have seen pictures of
people tanning without using these goggles. UV light which
directl y enters the eyes can cause eye disorders (snow blind-
ness, actinic conjunctivitis or cataracts).
11 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%.
