IR, relaxation and your health (HB875 only)
Warmth has a relaxing effect.Think of what a hot bath or lazing in the
sunshine does to you.You can enjoy the same relaxing effect by switching on
the infrared lamps.
Bear in mind the following when you have a relax session:
- Avoid getting too hot. Increase the distance between yourself and the
lamps, if necessary.
- If your head gets too hot, cover it or move your body so that less heat is
radiated towards your head.
- Close your eyes during a relax session.
- Do not let the relax session last too long (see section 'Relax sessions: how
often and how long?').
UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?
◗
You may have one tanning session per day, over a period of five to ten
days.
◗
Allow at least 48 hours between the first two sessions.
◗
After this 5 to 10 day course, you may rest the skin for a while.
◗
Approx. one month after a course your skin will have lost much of the tan.
You might than decide to start a new course.
◗
On the other hand, it is also possible to have one or two tanning sessions
per week after a course has elapsed in order to keep up the tan.
◗
Whatever you may prefer, make sure that you do not exceed the
maximum amount of tanning hours.
◗
For this appliance the maximum is 21 hours (=1260 minutes) per year.
Example
Imagine that you take a 10 day tanning course, with a 8 minute session on
the first day and a 20 minutes session on the nine following days.
The entire course then includes (1 x 8 minutes) + (9x 20 minutes) = 188
minutes.
Over a year you may have 6 of these courses (as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128
minutes).
Of course the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each part or
side of the body that is tanned separately (e.g. the back and front of the
body).
From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should always
have a duration of 8 minutes.This is not dependent upon individual skin
sensitivity.
B
If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. if the skin gets taut and
tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the sessions by e.g. 5
minutes.
B
For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that
the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning rays.
