UV sessions: how often? And how long?
Take one tanning session a day for 5 to 10 days. Wait at
least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second
session.
After this 5 to 10-day course you can take a break from
tanning.
One month after the tanning 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 you do not exceed the maximum number of
tanning hours, which is 21 hours (= 1260 minutes) a year
for this solarium.
Example:
Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of an 8-
minute tanning session on the first day and 20-minute
tanning sessions the subsequent nine days.
The total course will last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) =
188 minutes.
You could take 6 of these courses a year (because 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 side of the body).
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning
course always lasts 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity
of the skin.
If you feel the tanning session is too long for you (e.g. because your skin starts to feel taut), shorten every session
by, for instance, 5 minutes.

Relax sessions: how often and how long?
(type HB 875 only)
If you don’t want to get up right away after the tanning session,
you can switch on the infrared lamps for a relax session, during
which the infrared lamps keep you warm.
You can also take a relax session without a tanning session. You
can do this several times a day (e.g. 30 minutes in the morning and
in the evening).
