Overexposuretoultravioletlight(naturalsunlightorarticial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lterandyourbody)isatleast65cm.

Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then

start a new course.
