Do not overdo things.
Tan sensibly. This is the most important rule, which means that you should sunbathe no more than once a day. The rule of thumb is a maximum of ten times within two to three weeks. Once or twice a week is sufficient to conserve the tan reached. In addition the following tips should be observed:
Remove all cosmetics from the skin before tanning and take off all jewellery.
Do not use any suntan products on a sunbed except those produced especially for sunbeds.
Keep your eyes closed during tanning and always wear protective goggles.
Treat your skin before and after tanning so that a nice tan is conserved longer. For the care of the skin, sunbed cosmetics are especially suitable as they have been adapted to the special requirements of the tanned skin.
If you are taking any medicine please ask your doctor before tanning if it causes any photosenititvity.
SUN - THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE
Because of its light, its warmth, and its energy, the sun is the basis of life for fauna and flora. The sun stimulates spirit and soul. When the sun is shining, nothing can get the better of us so easily.
Sunlight is energy which is transferred by means of rays with different wave lengths, whereby we differentiate between ultraviolet rays (ultraviolet light), the visible light, and the warm infrared radiation (IR light). The untraviolet light is divided up into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C rays. The dangerous UV-C rays are filtered by the athmosphere, and do not reach the surface of the earth. The composition and the strength of the UV-A and UV-B rays vary and depend on the time of day and year, air pollution, degree of altitude, and the intensity of reflection (water, snow, etc.).
