What should clients do if they experience discomfort while tanning?

Clients experiencing discomfort while tanning should immediately report it to the operator. This is the most appropriate course of action because the operator is trained to assess the situation and provide assistance. Addressing discomfort right away helps ensure the client's safety and allows the operator to take necessary measures, such as adjusting the equipment settings, providing cooling measures, or terminating the session if needed. Prompt reporting can prevent further harm and ensures a safer tanning experience.

While continuing to tan might lead to increased skin irritation or injury, and waiting to consult a physician after the session could delay necessary treatment. These choices do not prioritize the client's immediate health and safety in the same way as reporting the issue promptly does.
