  • Summary

  • Dive into the intricate world of skin types and sun protection in this episode. Learn how the sun affects various skin types, from fair to dark, and the importance of understanding the Fitzpatrick Scale. Developed by dermatologist Thomas B. Fitzpatrick in 1975, this scale categorizes skin types based on their reaction to UV light exposure, aiding in personalized skin care and treatment plans. Discover how UVA radiation deeply penetrates the skin, leading to premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer, regardless of skin type. Whether you have type 1 skin, which is highly susceptible to sunburns, or type 6 skin, which rarely burns and tans easily, find out the protective measures you can take to safeguard your skin's health. From broad-spectrum sunscreen to staying in the shade, explore how to protect your skin effectively based on your skin type.
