2. Skin Type Classification


Fitzpatrick devised a description of skin types known as the Fitzpatrick skin type classification. This classification denotes 6 different skin types, skin color, and reaction to sun exposure.
(Ref. www.skinandhealth.com/details/skin_type)

Evaluation of skin type is essential if you would like to have laser surgery or any invasive skin operation procedure. If you are not sure what skin type you are. It is helpful if you can print out the table below and circle the appropriate response to each of the items and arrive at a total, which will give the type of your skin in the last table.
