What is an important guideline for new clients regarding UV exposure?

Gradually building up exposure is a critical guideline for new clients regarding UV tanning. When individuals begin tanning, their skin may not be accustomed to UV light, which increases the risk of sunburn and skin damage. By starting with shorter sessions and slowly increasing the duration over time, clients allow their skin to adjust to the UV exposure while minimizing potential harmful effects. This approach also helps the skin develop a tan more safely and effectively.

Understanding skin type is also important, as it helps clients make informed decisions about their tanning regimen, but the key focus with new tanners should be on the gradual increase of exposure to ensure safety and prevent damage. It’s essential for clients to prioritize their skin health while working towards a tan.
