Skin Type III
A Skin Type III will tan easily, but still sunburn. This is the most common skin type in North America.
Recommendation
Although a Skin Type III can achieve a tan easily, they are still susceptible to overexposure. The CEO at your local Fabutan tanning salon will help determine an exposure schedule that will help a Skin Type III achieve the color they want. This skin type's initial sun bed session will likely be between 8-12 minutes.
A Skin Type III, in most cases, has the natural ability to readily absorb UVB through their skin at a high enough degree to maintain a healthy Vitamin D blood level. However, it can be difficult for all skin types to absorb sufficient amounts of UVB to maintain Vitamin D levels year-round, particularly in northern climates such as North America. During the dark winter months, it's important to follow a sun bed exposure schedule set out by a Fabutan CEO to help maintain or increase Vitamin D levels.
If you’re unsure of your Vitamin D blood level, consult your doctor.
* Not all sun beds are the same! Our recommended exposure times are based on your skin type and Fabutan low pressure sun bed equipment only. Be sure to review the recommended exposure schedule associated with any equipment you may consider using.
