manual, the appliance is safe to use based on scientific
evidence available today.
Tanning and your health
The sun
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.
half-body tanner
With this half-body tanner, you can suntan comfortably
at home. A timer ensures that each session does not
last longer than 60 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight,
overexposure must be avoided (see section 'UV and your
health').
UV and your health
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.
It is therefore highly important:
-
that you follow the instructions in chapter 'Important'
and section 'Tanning sessions: how often and how
long?';
-
that you do not exceed the maximum number of
tanning hours per year (see section 'Tanning sessions:
how often and how long?');
-
that you always wear the goggles provided
while tanning;
-
that the tanning distance (distance between the UV
filter and your body) is at least 65cm.
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.
-
Take a break of at least 48 hours between the first
and the second session.
-
After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to stop
tanning 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 with 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,
always keep in mind that you must not exceed the
maximum number of tanning hours.
-
For this appliance, the maximum is 6 tanning hours
(= 360 minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 6-day tanning course, with an 8-
minute session on the first day and a 20-minute session
on the five following days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 8 minutes) + (5 x 20
minutes) = 108 minutes.
In one year you can take 3 of these courses, as 3 x 108
minutes = 324 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 the table shows, the first session of a tanning course
must always last 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity
of the skin.

* Or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity.
If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g.
because your skin 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, even tan, turn your face and body to the
left and right from time to time. This ensures that the
sides of your face and body are equally exposed.
If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a
moisturising cream.
