Which skin type is characterized by never burning and tanning quickly?

Dry Skin
Acne Skin
Combination Skin
Skin Type 6

The correct answer is: Skin Type 6

Skin Type 6 is characterized by a high level of melanin, which means individuals with this skin type rarely experience sunburn and often tan very easily. This skin type falls under the category of deep brown to dark skin tones. The increased melanin provides a natural protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays, allowing for a faster tanning process and significantly reducing the likelihood of burning compared to lighter skin types. The other skin types listed do not share these definitive characteristics. Dry skin, for example, may be prone to irritation and sun sensitivity, while acne-prone skin can also experience various issues independent of tanning and burning tendencies. Combination skin fluctuates between dry and oily areas and does not imply a specific response to sun exposure. Therefore, Skin Type 6 stands out among these options as it specifically denotes the ability to tan quickly without burning.
