Skin Types and Recommended Exposure Schedule
Note: Sensitivity and reaction to UV-light exposure mainly depend on your individual skin type. The following chart shows the
standard classification of Skin Types I - VI and their main characteristics. You should consider, however, that even within the
same skin type, the individual condition of the skin and consequently the reaction to UV-light exposure may differ considerably
and that certain factors (i.e. photosensitizing agents) also may influence your sensitivity to UV-light.
