Hapro Summer Glow HB404 Facial Tanner 400 W

It depends on your skin type and the length of each session, but as this is a 400 W high-pressure lamp the tone usually shows sooner than with conventional facial units. Start with short sessions, leave 48 hours between them and increase the time gradually.

The 20 × 20 cm tanning window and the parabolic reflector cover face, neck, shoulders and décolleté — a larger surface than most home facial tanners.

People with skin type 1 (very fair skin that never tans, red or very fair blond hair, freckles and blue eyes) must not use artificial tanning. Neither should under-18s. If you take photosensitising medication or have a dermatological history, check with your doctor first.

The lamp is replaceable and access is simple, with no technical service required. When you notice output dropping, we can supply the original replacement.

Yes. Tanning accelerators are designed to improve results in tanning units: they hydrate the skin and support melanin production, so colour appears sooner and lasts longer. Always use cosmetics made specifically for tanning units, never self-tanners or creams with sun protection.

It is not advisable to use sunscreen over your whole body during tanning sessions, since its job is to block UV rays and it would cancel out the tanning effect. However, you can apply sunscreen to specific areas that need extra protection, such as scars, marks or sensitive areas.

Yes. Although you should not cover your whole skin, it is worth protecting specific spots such as scars, recent tattoos, marks or particularly sensitive areas with a high-factor sunscreen.

We recommend using the tanner 2 to 3 times a week, leaving rest time between sessions so the skin is not overexposed to UV rays.

We recommend waiting at least 48 hours between sessions. It is also important to avoid using the tanning unit and being exposed to natural sunlight on the same day, to prevent UV overexposure.

Yes, protective goggles must always be worn during tanning sessions to prevent eye damage from UV radiation exposure.

Yes, it is important to remove contact lenses before a UVA session to avoid irritation or possible eye damage.

One advantage of indoor UVA tanning units is that they do not depend on weather conditions or external factors such as the ozone layer or fluctuations in solar radiation, which allows a controlled and consistent tanning experience. Even so, times, rest periods and eye protection must always be respected.

We recommend using specialist cosmetics that help hydrate the skin during tanning sessions. These products are designed to counteract moisture loss and improve the appearance of the skin, helping the tan last longer.

Avoid perfumes, colognes, creams with citrus, essential oils and products with retinol or exfoliating acids for at least 10 days before the session. Also avoid products with lemon, orange or bergamot, and certain photosensitising medications such as antibiotics (tetracyclines), NSAIDs (ibuprofen) or diuretics. Check with your doctor if you have any doubt about a medication you are taking.

If you are allergic to natural sunlight, you should not expose yourself to UVA rays, as the radiation is similar and may cause an adverse skin reaction.

White patches in areas such as the shoulder blades or buttocks can occur due to pressure on these areas while lying down, which reduces blood flow and the distribution of the tan. Alternating between horizontal and vertical tanning beds can help minimise this effect.

There are several types of home tanning units, including horizontal and vertical models. Horizontal units suit those who prefer to tan lying down, while vertical ones are ideal for those who prefer to stand or for smaller spaces. The choice depends on the space available at home and your personal tanning preferences.
