Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or articial light from your tanning appliance) can
cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of
a tanning appliance 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 exposure on the one hand
and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis,
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 in chapter Important and section Tanning sessions: how often
and how long?;
- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see section Tanning
sessions: how often and how long?);
- that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning;
- that the tanning distance (distance between the UV lter and your body) is at least 60cm.
