Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
◗ Do not take more than one tanning session per day, over a period of five to ten days.
◗ Allow an interval of at least 48 hours between the first and the second session.
◗ After this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest for a while.
◗ Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan.You can
then start a new course.
◗ If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue taking one
or two tanning sessions a week.
◗ Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a
lower frequency, do remember that you must not exceed the maximum number of tanning
hours.
◗ For this appliance the maximum is 20 tanning hours (=1200 minutes) a year.
This maximum also holds if you use the appliance for the tanning of parts of your body (function º
and ªº).
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 8-minute session on the first day and a 20-
minute session on the nine following days.
The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes.
This means you can take 6 of these courses in a year, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes.
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body
that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the body).
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 8 minutes,
irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.
B
If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin feels taut and tender
after the session), we advise you to reduce the length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.
B
For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of your
body are better exposed to the tanning light.
