He huarahi rongonui ngā moenga tanning hei whakatutuki i te āhua parauri, he āhua pīataata, inā koa i ngā marama makariri, i te wā rānei e iti ana te pānga o te rā. Heoi, he mea nui kia mārama kāore he moenga tanning e 'haumaru' ana, nā te mea ka tukuna e rātou te hihi ultraviolet (UV) e hono ana ki te koroheketanga o mua me te mate pukupuku kiri. Ki te whiriwhiri koe ki te whakamahi i te moenga tanning, anei ētahi mahi nui ka taea e koe te mahi hei whakaiti i te mōrearea me te tiaki i tō kiri i te mea ka taea:
1. Kia mōhio ki tō momo kiri.
I mua i te whakamahi i te moenga tanning, whakatauhia te momo kiri o tō Fitzpatrick:
Momo I (tino mā, ka wera tonu): Āta karohia ngā moenga kiri kiri.
Momo II–III (parauri mātotoru ki te parauri mārama, tērā pea ka wera engari ka parauri māori): Kia tino tūpato.
Momo IV–VI (kiri waenga ki te mangu): Ka māmā ake te parauri, engari kei te mōrearea tonu.
Ka pā te momo kiri ki te roa me te auau o te whakakōwhai kiri, mēnā he kiri parauri koe.
2. Tīmata ki ngā wā poto.
Me tīmata ngā tīmatanga ki ngā wā poto rawa (hei tauira, 3–5 meneti).
Whakanuia mārire te roa o te whakamāori i te kiri mena kāore he wera, he riri rānei.
Kaua e neke atu i te 20 meneti, ahakoa kāore koe e wera wawe.
Kāore e pai ake ngā hua mēnā ka nui rawa te pānga; ka nui ake te kino.
3. Whakamahia he hinu kiri motuhake mō te moenga kiri.
Pania he hinu whakamākūkū kiri i mua i ia wā whakamākūkū hei whakamakuku i te kiri, hei whakapai ake hoki i te whakamākūkū kiri.
Kaua e whakamahi i te hinu ārai rā o waho i roto i ngā moenga tanning nā te mea kāore i hangaia mō ngā rama UV.
Kei roto i ētahi hinu kiri he hinu whakarewa, he hinu whakatere rānei, nō reira pānuihia te tapanga me te whai i ngā tohutohu.
4. Me mau tonu he parenga kanohi.
Kaua rawa e kiri māwhero mēnā kāore he mōhiti kiri māwhero kua whakaaetia e te FDA.
E kore ngā mōhiti kanohi noa, me te katinga rānei o ō kanohi e tiaki i a koe mai i ngā kino o te hihi UV.
Ka taea e te pānga o te hihi UV te whakawera i te retina, te katarata me te ngaronga o te tirohanga mō te wā roa.
5. Whakamakuku, whakamākūkū hoki.
Inumia he nui te wai i mua atu, ā, i muri mai hoki i tō wā whakangungu.
Whakamahia he hinu whakamākū i muri i te whakamākūkū i te kiri hei whakamarie i tō kiri, hei whakaroa hoki i tō whakamākūkū.
He kiri maroke te kiri parauri — mā te makuku ka mau tonu tōna ngāwari me tōna kanapa.
6. Taria i mua i te kaukau (mēnā kei te whakamahi koe i ngā hua).
Mena i whakamahia e koe he mea whakatere kiri i te kiri, he mea whakarewa rānei kei roto he DHA, tatari i mua i te kaukau.
