3 Make sure that upon commencing a series of
sessions your customers have a rest day
following their fi rst session. If there is no sign
of any undesirable skin reaction they can then
continue with the series of sessions.
4 Make sure that your customers do not use the
appliance more than once a day. The
appliance may not be used if during the same
he or she already tanned using natural
sunlight. The skin does not make a distinction
between the two. Take exposure to natural
sunlight into account.
5 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 eff ect.
Below you will fi nd a list of substances which
can react when combined with exposure to
UV radiation:
• Sulphonamide - in various medications,
including antibiotics
• Tetracyclines - in antibiotics and acne
medication
• Nalidexine acid - in urinary tract infection
medication
• Chlorothiazide - in diuretics
• Sulphonylurea - in diabetes medication
• Phenothiazines - anxiety medication
• Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives
• Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators
• Cyclamates - in sweeteners
• Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sunscreen
creams/oils
• Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes
• Bleaching agents - in washing powders/
liquids
• Eosine - in colourings
• Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal
substances
6 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet
light, cosmetic products, e.g. perfumes and
make-up can cause the skin to react. Ensure
that your customers skin is clean of all not
SEECRET products before they start the
session. Some products penetrate deep into
the skin. Recommend that they clean their
skin thoroughly a few hours before each
session, or better still, recommend that they
wear no make-up at all the day before. Also
tell your customers to remove any jewellery
before using the appliance.
7 Make sure that your customers do not use
cream or oil that contains a sun block or
self-tanning lotion when using the appliance.
These products contain substances which
infl uence the session 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 sessions or
exposure to natural sunlight. The combination
of tanning pills and UV light can increase the
possibility of skin irritation and sunburn.
8 If the skin is red and taut shortly after the
session it is likely sunburned. Wait one week
for these symptoms to disappear before using
the appliance again, revise the session table
and reduce the length of the individual
sessions for the customer in question. If the
use of the appliance gives rise to undesirable
reactions that you cannot explain, stop using
the appliance and advise your customer to
see their doctor if the symptoms do not
disappear within a short space of time.
9 Make sure that your customers always wear
protective goggles to protect their eyes - even
if you may have seen pictures of people
tanning without using these goggles. UV light
which directly enters the eyes can cause eye
disorders (snow blindness, actinic
conjunctivitis or cataracts). Contact lenses
and sun glasses are not a substitute for
goggles.
10 Reduce the session time by 20% during the
fi rst 50 hours when using new lamps. During
these 50 hours, the lamps emit 120% power
instead of the usual 100%. After the fi rst 50
hours the lamps will emit as normal..
11 Protect sensitive skin parts such as scars,
tattoos and genitals from exposure.
12 In cases of pronounced individual sensitivity
or allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation,
medical advice is recommended before
starting exposure
13 The unprotected eye may develop surface
infl ammation and in some cases, after a
cataract operation for example, damage may
accur to the retina after eccessive exposure.
Cataracts may develop after prolonged
exposures.
14 Ultraviolet radiation from the sun or UV
appliances can cause skin or eye damage.
These biological eff ects depend upon the
quality and quantity of the radiation as well as
the skin and eye sensitivity of the individual.
15 Excessive exposure may cause skin to burn.
Excessive repeated exposure to ultraviolet
radiation from the sun or UV appliances may
lead to premature ageing of the skin as well
as increase risk of skin tumours. These risks
increase with increasing cumulative UV
exposure. Exposure at an early age increases
the risk of skin damage later in life.
