Care and Cleaning of Your Tanning Unit
After each session is completed, spray the
acrylic surface with specially formulated UVT
(ultraviolet transmitting) acrylic cleaner. Wipe
the surface of the acrylic with a clean cloth.
The acrylic should never be wiped with a dry
cloth because this will generate a slight static
charge which will attract dust. A mild liquid
detergent and water solution can be used
temporarily in place of Acrylic Cleaner.
For maximum efficiency of your tanning unit, periodic cleaning of lamps, reflectors and the inside of
the acrylics is required. Refer to relamping instructions for acrylic removal.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive amounts of water, any abrasive cleaners, or any spray cleaners
that carry label warnings regarding reactions to contact with skin!
Skin Types
Melanin - The brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base layer of your skin
determines the individual’s tan. As the skin is exposed to the ultraviolet light, the melanin is activated
and combines with protein cells that rise to the skin’s surface, thus producing a tan.
The amount of melanin in your body determines how quickly and dark you tan. The more
melanin produced and exposure time an individual has, the faster and deeper the individual will tan.
Do not tan more then once in a twenty-four (24) hour period.
NOTE
The tan produced by the tanning unit is a deep, rich “COSMETIC” tan. However, regardless of
how dark an individual may tan on this system, it will not provide adequate protection against
overexposure to natural sunlight or UVB tanning systems.
Skin Type I -
Always burns, not advised to tan.
Skin Type II -
This is the individual that usually burns easily and severely, tans minimally or lightly and
peels.
Skin Type III -
Often referred to as “AVERAGE” complexion, burns moderately and tans about average.
Skin Type IV -
This individual burns minimally, tans easily and above average with each exposure.
Skin Type V -
This individual’s skin rarely burns, tans easily and substantially.
NOTE: No two individual skin tones are the same. A tan to one person may be different to another and
treatment length may vary.
