Tanning - but correctly!
A few things need to be noted in order to obtain maximum enjoyment from a
tanning unit. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
Make-up on the sunbed?
A wide variety of materials is found in cosmetics. Whether these are emulsifi-
ers, greases, or fragrances – in conjunction with UV radiation, these can
cause skin allergy reactions.
For this reason, always use cosmetics that have been specially developed for
use in tanning booths.
So, this to-do list is a must before using a tanning unit: Remove all make-up.
This is essential. Make-up clogs the pores in the face. The UV light from a
tanning unit re-opens these clogged pores so that not only does the light
penetrate the skin, but also the allergenic components of the make-up.
A further negative consequence of make-up is that the appearance of the skin
deteriorates irreversibly over a period of time. However good decent make-up
looks - in conjunction with UV light, it causes more harm than good. There-
fore: Remove all make-up before a session on your sunbed - it will be much
better applied afterwards.
Showering after leaving the sunbed?
The browning is in the skin, not on it. Therefore you cannot wash it off. Treat
your skin to a moisturizing cream after showering.
Are medications and the sunbed compatible?
It is known that some medicaments increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV light.
This probability is particularly high with antibiotics, sulphonamides, psychiatric
drugs, tranquillizers, anti-diabetes treatments and diuretics. Sun creams
which contain psorale or kumarin also increase skin sensitivity. If you are in
any doubt, first ask your doctor - then you can enjoy the sun at no risk.
