Skin Type IV
A Skin Type IV will almost never sunburn, and tan very easiliy.
Recommendation
Although a Skin Type IV will tan quite easily, they are still at risk of overexposure. The CEO at your local Fabutan tanning salon will help a Skin Type IV to determine an exposure schedule that will help achieve the color that they want. A Skin Type IV will likely have a first sun bed session between 12-15 minutes.
In most cases, a Skin Type IV is not able to absorb UVB at a high enough degree in North America to maintain a healthy Vitamin D blood level. Due to this skin type's natural ability to withstand UV light, it is likely your body will require a Vitamin D supplement in addition to following your sun bed exposure schedule in order to maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D.
If you are 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.
