With 88
(that’s right 88) combi–tubes the Zenith bed is at the cutting edge of
horizontal tanning. In fact it is more powerful than the majority of
vertical tanning units. So much so, tanning starts with a little as 3
minutes.
With more tubes than any other lay down unit and designed to
the strictest standards, this bed has just about everything you need for
quality tanning. it provides different pressure facial filament tubes, along
with 180 watt high pressure body tubes, which gives you the balance of
effective full body tanning.
Its 8 powerful fans keep you cool while
you relax and enjoy a tan in exceptional comfort in your individual room.
With 60 x 180 watt tubes our Aurora unit is
at the cutting edge of indoor vertical tanning. Its high powerful ceiling
fan and independently ducted body cooling jet will keep you cool while
tanning even in the hottest of situations, creating an effective and
efficient tanning environment.
The experience doesn’t end there,
many regular indoor tanning users of old vertical units note that their
lower legs don’t tan particularly well. The reason is the inferior tanning
position.
Empire Fitness is the 1st tanning facility to offer an
electronic floor, which optimises body position. This allows you to get the
most out of the unique 2 metre long high pressure tubes.

Tanning Safety Tips Provided by
Health & safety executive
UV tanning equipment customer information.
Important: There are risks from using UV tanning equipment.
As with
exposure to natural sunlight, too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV)
radiation from tanning equipment can damage your skin and sometimes your
general health.
Short-term damaging effects
The short-term damaging effects of excessive exposure
to UV radiation include:
· Sunburnt skin, which becomes painful, red
and may blister and peel; · Skin dryness and itching; · Bumpy itchy rash;
· Eye irritation or conjunctivitis, (if suitable goggles are not worn).
Long-term health risks
There may also be long-term health effects including:
· Premature ageing of the skin which will then look coarse, leathery and
wrinkled; · Skin cancer - the more exposures, the greater the risks; ·
Increased risk of cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye) later in life,
(if suitable goggles are not worn).
Precautions, Don't use cosmetic tanning equipment if your skin is
particularly sensitive.
Some people are more prone to skin damage caused by
UV radiation than others. You are advised not to use cosmetic tanning
equipment if:
· You are under 16; · You have fair sensitive skin that
burns easily or tans slowly or poorly; · You have a history of sunburn,
especially in childhood; · You have a large number of freckles and/or red
hair; · You have a large number of moles; · You are taking medicines or
using creams which may sensitise the skin to sunlight; · You have a medical
condition that is worsened by sunlight; · You or anyone in your family have
had skin cancer in the past.
· If you have any doubts, ask your
doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use tanning equipment. Don't
use cosmetics before tanning. Some cosmetics, deodorants and similar
preparations for use on the skin can increase sensitivity to UV radiation.
It is best not to use them immediately before a tanning session and to wash
off any that are on the skin, before using the equipment.
Tan gently
As a general guide it is best not to exceed
recommended maximum, ‘The sun-bed association’ recommendations and European
guide lines a max of 60 sessions per year; make a note of your
number of sessions so you will not forget. If using a commercial salon, tell
the staff about your normal skin reaction to sunlight, bearing in mind that
you may be exposing parts of your body not normally exposed to the sun.
The operator of the equipment should then advise you on how long to use it;
don't exceed this time.
Don't try to get a quick tan by;
Exceeding the recommended times; having too many tanning sessions; having
more than one session a day; Sunbathing on the same day. Seek advice about
any problems
If you notice any abnormal skin reactions developing
during the tanning session, stop the exposure at once and do not use tanning
equipment again before consulting a doctor. If you develop any abnormal skin
reaction after a tanning session, do not use such equipment again before
consulting a doctor. Seek medical advice if you notice any change in the
appearance of a mole.
Protect your eyes
Make sure you use the goggles or other eye protection
provided, before using the equipment; These should be worn all the time the
equipment is switched on; if no eye protection is provided, do not use the
equipment. Do not use sunglasses, Understand the equipment. Make sure you
know how to: use the equipment properly; switch it off; call for help in an
emergency.
Don't rely on your tan for protection
The tan obtained from cosmetic tanning equipment can
give some mild protection from burning when you go into the sun, but it
never gives complete protection. Nor does it provide much protection against
the long-term health risks mentioned earlier. You should still follow
sensible advice on safety in the sun such as that published by the Health
Education Authority and cancer charities (eg Cancer Research Campaign,
Imperial Cancer Research Fund).
Know your skin
No matter whether you get your tan from the sun or
tanning equipment, you should learn to recognise the early warning signs of
serious damage. Most skin cancers are completely curable if detected in the
early stages. Look for progressively changing moles or other skin
discolouration. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor. Don't delay.

Tanning Facts
Sunlight is energy, which is transferred by means of
electro-magnetic rays or waves with different wave lengths. We can
differentiate between ultra-violet rays (UV light), visible light, and warm
infra-red radiation (IR light). The UV light is subdivided up into UV-A,
UV-B and UV-C rays. The dangerous UV-C rays are filtered out by the
atmosphere and do not reach the surface of the earth. The composition and
strength of UV-A and UV-B rays varies and depends on the time of day and
year, air pollution, degree of latitude North or South, and the intensity of
reflection (water, snow etc)
The skin is the largest regulatory and
protective organ of our body. Through the skin we not only make physical
contact but also sensual contact to our environment. Whilst in former
centuries paleness was considered distinguished, a natural tan is a sign of
athleticism, attractiveness and health today. The exterior appearance - the
natural outfit - is an expression of personal lifestyle for more and more
people. An attractively tanned skin improves the personality. Irrespective
of whether at work or in your free time - you are received better.
Basically, a tan is nothing other than the body’s inherent protection
against sunlight. The UV-B rays encourage the cells of the epidermis to
produce more white melanin pigments, which, on their way to the upper dermal
layer, are tanned by the UV-A rays and the oxygen contained in the blood
(indirect pigmentation). If a preliminary pigmentation has taken place
already, the skin will be tanned immediately by UV-A rays (direct
pigmentation). The pleasant effects of UV rays on the body and soul have
been substantiated by medicine. The natural formation of vitamin D3 takes
place only in the sun or on a sunbed - or put more precisely - under the
influence of UV-B rays. Vitamin D3 is an important hormone for the
protection of bone, protecting against osteoporosis. Due to the formation of
vitamin D3 calcium is deposited in the bones. Still further positive
properties are attributed to this "sun hormone". It stimulates the immune
system, increases the bodies own physical powers, alleviates depressions and
has a positive affect on the heart and circulation. Even skin diseases are
treated with UV light with great success, such as acne, psoriasis.
Skin Types
Depending on the type of skin, people react
differently to sunlight. You should know your type of skin for correct
enjoyment of the sun and sun-beds. Worldwide, six types of skin are
differentiated - the first four types of skin occur most frequently in
Europe. At Empire Fitness, we have a series of questions that help to
indicate what your skin type is.
Skin type 1 (approx 2% of all
Central Europeans): remarkably light skin, reddish hair, blue eyes, and a
very strong tendency to develop sunburn. This type is recommended not to use
indoor tanning equipment.
Skin type 2 (approx 12% of all Central
Europeans): light skin, blond to medium-brown hair, blue to grey or green
eyes, strong tendency to develop sunburn.
Skin type 3 (approx 78% of
all Central Europeans): normal skin, dark-blond to brown hair, grey to brown
eyes, moderate tendency to develop sunburn.
Skin type 4 (approx 8% of
all Central Europeans): light brown to olive-coloured skin, dark hair and
eyes, slight tendency to develop sunburn.
Even in winter with little
sunshine we can provide ourselves with the missing sunshine on a sunbed.
Contrary to the natural sun, which is subject to strong variations, tanning
on a sunbed can be used precisely and individually.
The Golden Rules of Tanning
Do not overdo things, tan sensibly. Here at Empire
Fitness we insist that you complete a health declaration form and skin type
analyst form before tanning. Ensuring health problems and timings can be
advised on an individual basis.
You should sunbathe no more than
once a day. The general rule of thumb is a maximum of ten sessions within a
fortnight to three weeks. One to two times a week is often sufficient to
conserve the tan reached.
In addition, the following tips should be
observed.
Tanning in Spring · Prevents spring mental fatigue. ·
Builds a skin-inherent light protection · Prepares the skin for summer
Tanning in Summer · Help to prepare the skin for holidays · Comforts
people who have to spend their holiday at home · Produces a nice tan without
the heat and rays of summer
Tanning in Autumn · Prolongs summer
feeling · Renders healthy and relaxed looks · A feel fit for winter
Tanning in Winter · Provides rays of hope for a better mood · Improves
health · Renders a dynamic, active appearance
By carefully planned preliminary tanning,
sun allergies and the so-called ‘Mallorca acne’ can be avoided. Keep to the
tanning time recommended for your type of skin. The International agreed
Standard (‘Euro-norm’) recommends no more than 50 sessions per year. 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 sun-beds. If you are taking any medicine, please ask your doctor before
tanning if it causes any photosensitivity. Always wear protective goggles.
Treat the 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 adapted to the special requirements of the tanned skin. A range
is available at Empire Fitness, often with discounts!
We would like to thank www.tanningbusiness.com for the next article
According to the
Cancer Research Campaign, there are almost 2,000 deaths a year in the UK due
to skin cancer. Approximately 90% of these are non-melanoma skin cancers,
which take 30 to 40 years of cumulative exposure to develop, and about 95%
of these cases would be curable if treated promptly. This should put the
media hype into perspective. Melanoma skin cancer is more dangerous, but it
is thought that regular moderate tanning may actually prevent melanoma where
the alternative is short annual periods of sunbathing leading to sunburn.
Melanoma skin cancer has been linked to sunburn, especially in childhood,
(i.e. intense overexposure). Unlike the less dangerous forms of skin cancer,
cumulative exposure to the sun does not appear to increase the risk of
melanoma. In all cases, regular moderate tanning, providing it is not
overdone, has not been shown to be a risk factor for anything. It will
however, probably contribute to the long, slow process of skin aging.’’
