Children, persons with fair skin, elderly persons and persons who have a history of skin problems
or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight, should avoid using this product. If you do not

Certain drugs – particularly those designed to enhance photosensitivity – maybe cause individuals
under their influence to experience adverse effects and those people ought to avoid exposure
to UV sources of all kinds. Doctors will advise persons taking these drugs of possible adverse
effects.
It is recommended that only one person at a time use the tanning system. Use protective eyewear
while tanning. One pair of protective eyewear is provided with each unit sold.
Occasionally, persons, using the tanning system will experience a slight reddening of the skin –
usually in small patches – after the second or third session. This redness is often accompanied by
an itching sensation. This is nothing more than a heat ”rash” caused by heat from the lamps
within the system. It is generally very limited. It will go away within approximately 24 hours and
should not reappear. This rash can be lessened or prevented by applying moisturising lotion to
the affected area after the tanning session is complete.

EXPOSURE TIMES AND FREQUENCIES
Melanin, the brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base layers of the skin determines
the individual ability to tan. As the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the melanin is activated and
combines with protein cells that rise to the skin’s surface, thus producing a tan. The amount of
melanin in your body determining how quickly and darkly you can tan.
