- Always remove make-up and cosmetics before tanning.
- Always remove jewellery to create that all over tan.
- If taking medicines always check whether they influence the light sensitivity of your skin. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
- Do not use sun-protection creams.
- Make sure the equipment is cleaned before tanning.
- Determine your skin type as this is the basis for your maximum exposure time.
- Set the exposure time on the sunbed for your skin type. Always observe the recommendations of the manufacturer and salon operator to avoid sunburn and get that perfect tan gradually.
- Always wear protective goggles or comparable eye protection when suntanning.
- Do not tan on a sunbed and in the natural sun on the same day.
