UV,tanning 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, how long?").
Overexposure to ultraviolet (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.
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.
Therefore it is highly important:
B
that you follow the instructions in sections "Important" and "UV
tanningsessions: how often? And how long?";
B
that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters and the body) is 65
cm.
B
that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year (i.e.
21 hours or 1260 minutes);
B
that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning.
