Before your tanning session
Check for any conditions mentioned in the manual that may prevent you from using
the tanning equipment.
Make-up and cosmetics
Do not wear make-up when tanning. Clean skin absorbs the UV Light properly. Remove all
make-up prior to tanning. Make-up clogs the pores in your face. The UV light from a tanning
device re-opens these clogged pores. A wide variety of components and materials are found
in make-up and cosmetics. These materials in conjunction with UV radiation can cause skin
allergies so you should always remove make up prior to tanning.
Jewelery
Remove all jewelery prior to tanning, including piercings.
Hair and loose items
Any loose hair should be tied back using a hair tie. Any loose items on clothing should be
secured.
Medications
Some medications increase the skin's sensitivity to UV light. The probability is especially
high with antibiotics, sulphonamids, psychiatric drugs, tranquilizers, anti-diabetes treatments
and diuretics. Sun creams which contain psorale or kumarin also may increase skin
sensitivity. If you are unsure consult your doctor prior to using the equipment!
Contact Lenses
You do not need to remove your contact lenses prior to tanning but you must like all other
users wear the protective goggles. The protective gogles protect your eyes against UV
radiation. If you wish to have better protection you can contact your optician for exchange
contact lenses with UV protection. These contacts are not just for tanning equipment but for
UV light from the sun as well, consult your optician for more questions.
Showering and hydrating the skin
You cannot wash off a tan from a tanning device, unlike with spray tanning the the browning
is in the skin and it will not wash off. It is recommended that you arrive for your session with
clean and dry skin. Prior to your session you can apply tanning lotion. We recomend treating
your skin to a moisturizing cream after showering after your session.
