Before You Sunbathe

The following phase plan will help you use a sunbed responsibly:

People have different skin types, not everyone reacts to the sun in the same way. Someone with light skin will need to protect themselves more to avoid getting burned than someone with dark skin. Not everyone is therefore allowed to use a tanning bed, like someone:

• whose skin has already been burned by the sun or tanning bedtime. 
• who has or has had a skin disease or skin cancer.
• Who is younger than 16 years
• With skin type 1.

Whether people who have had skin cancer should be allowed to sunbathe is a question that dermatologists answer differently. It is advisable to be careful in this case and to ask the doctor for advice first. The condition of some skin diseases improves under the influence of UV radiation, while others worsen. If necessary, please ask your doctor for advice. In order to do a proper tanning cure in the second phase, you must first determine your skin type. You can also use the chart below to see which description best suits your skin type.
