ENGLISH Tanning and your health The sun, UV and tanning The sun The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays provides the heat in which we like to bask. UV 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 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'). Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can cause sunburn. Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance 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 exposure 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 light, the higher the risk of keratitis, 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: -that you follow the instructions given in 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions:how often and how long?'; -that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?')...
