Which skin type is characterized by burning easily and not tanning?

Skin type I
Skin type II
Skin type III
Skin type IV

The correct answer is: Skin type I

The skin type characterized by burning easily and not tanning is skin type I. This classification typically involves individuals with very fair skin, often having light-colored hair and eyes. People with skin type I have a high sensitivity to UV radiation, leading to quick sunburn and minimal to no tanning ability. Education on this skin type is essential for proper sun protection and skincare, as those with skin type I need to be particularly diligent in applying broad-spectrum sunscreen and seeking shade to avoid skin damage. Recognizing this characteristic helps illustrate the importance of tailored skincare recommendations based on skin type to prevent the adverse effects of sun exposure.
