SKIN GUIDE
MELANIN - The brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base
layer of the skin determines the individual’s tan. As the skin is exposed to
the ultraviolet light, 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 determines how quickly and dark you tan. The more
melanin produced and exposure time an individual has, the faster and
deeper the individual will tan.
NOTE:
The tan produced by the 3400 and 2800 is a deep, rich "COSMETIC" tan.
However, regardless of how dark an individual may tan on this system, it
will not provide adequate protection against overexposure to natural
sunlight or UVB tanning systems.
SKIN TYPE II-Fair
This is the individual that usually burns easily and severely, tans
minimally or lightly and peels.
SKIN TYPE III-Average
Often referred to as "AVERAGE" complexion, burns moderately and
tans about average.
SKIN TYPE IV-Brown
This individual burns minimally, tans easily and above average with
each exposure.
SKIN TYPE V-Dark Brown
This individual rarely burns, tans easily and substantially.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Customers that wear contact lenses should be made aware that the heat
and ventilation wind may dry out their contacts and should be removed
prior to the session. Use only creams, oils or lotions (particularly suntan
lotions) that are recommended by Heartland Tanning, Inc. Equally
important - many facial makeups have oil bases and sun block which should
be removed prior to a session. It is recommended that following a tanning
session, a skin moisturizer be applied. This promotes a smoother, more
even looking tan.
