UV and your health
Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process will take some time.
The first effect will only become visible after a few sessions (see
section 'UV tanning sessions: How often? And how long?').
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light
from your solarium) can cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural
sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a solarium may increase the
risk of skin and eye problems. The degree to which these effects
occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the
radiation on the one hand and the sensitivity of the person involved
on the other hand.
UV tanning sessions: How often? And how long?
Take one tanning session a day for five to ten days. Wait at
least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second
session. After this 5 to 10-day course, you may take a break
from tanning.
Approximately one month after a course your skin will have
lost most of its tan again. You can then start a new tanning
course.
If you want to retain your tan, do not stop tanning after the
course but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a
week.
Regardless of the tanning method you choose, always make sure
that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning
hours, which is XX hours (= XX minutes) a year for this
solarium.

Se considerar que as sessões são demasiado longas para si (se a sua pele ficar seca e mole depois da sessão), aconselha-se
a redução das sessões para 5 minutos, por exemplo.

The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV, the higher the
risk of keratisis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts,
premature skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be.
Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.
It is therefore highly important
- that you follow the instructions given under the heading
'Important' and 'UV tanning sessions: How often? And how long?';
- that you stick to the maximum permissible tanning hours a year
(see section 'UV tanning sessions: How often? And how long?');
- that you wear the protective goggles provided during every tanning
session.
Example:
Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of an
XX-minute tanning session on the first day and XX-minute
tanning sessions on subsequent nine days.
The total course will last:
(X x X minutes) + (X x XX minutes) = XXX minutes.
• You could take X of these courses a year
(because X x XXX minutes = XXXX minutes.)
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course
should always last X minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of
the skin.
