Where Are You On The Fitzpatrick Scale?

The Fitzpatrick scale is a scientific skin type classification.

The skin type classification won’t necessarily help you find your perfect shade when it comes to selecting the correct foundation or concealer, but it can tell you how sensitive your skin is to UV rays.

The Fitzpatrick scale classifies skin types according to the amount of pigment your skin has and how your skin reacts to sun exposure. Therefore, the scale can help you predict your overall risk when it comes to sun damage and skin cancer.

Once you know your risk level, you can arm yourself with the tools you need to protect your skin.

If you are not aware of your skin risk level, here are some key details about the different skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale.
