Skin Type V
A Skin Type V has brownish skin that darkens when exposed to sunlight. They rarely sunburn and tan very easily.
Recommendation
Although a Skin Type V will tan very easily, there is still a chance of overexposure. The CEO at your local Fabutan tanning salon will determine an exposure schedule that will help a Skin Type V achieve the color that they want. A Skin Type V will likely have a first sun bed session of approximately 15 minutes long.
Similar to Skin Type IV, a Skin Type V in most cases is not able to absorb UVB at a high enough degree in North America to maintain a healthy Vitamin D blood level. Due to their skin's natural ability to withstand UV light, it is likely that their body will require a Vitamin D supplement 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.
