What is the recommended action if a client requests a longer tanning session than suggested?

The recommended action is to explain the risks and stick to the recommended time. This approach emphasizes the importance of skin safety and the health risks associated with excessive UV exposure. Tanning sessions are timed according to skin type, previous exposure, and the specific equipment used. By adhering to the suggested duration, you help prevent potential side effects such as sunburn, skin damage, and the increased risk of skin cancer.

Educating clients about these risks also promotes better understanding and responsible tanning practices. It reinforces your professional role in prioritizing their health and safety, and it fosters trust in your expertise. This proactive communication is crucial, especially when clients may not fully comprehend the dangers of prolonged exposure. The other options either neglect the health risks or do not support safe tanning practices.
