What is your Fitzpatrick Skin Type?

I'm the whitest person you have ever seen!

Types I and IV.

type II - not real good for Australia.

Type II

Type I: White: always burns, and rarely tans (and when it does, it turns yellow).

I almost picked Type I but then I realize that I do get a little bit of a tan on my arms and my face. It's just that my tanned skin is usually still much lighter than most people even if they don't have a tan! It's very frustrating, too. I have to wear tons of sun screen and I still have to be careful about being out in the sun too long.

LOL That's what I've always said about myself! Are you telling me you'd give me a run for my money?

Do you mean that different parts of your body react differently to the sun? I think that's probably true for most people. The parts that get less exposure are probably more sensitive. That's why I was torn between two types also.

I'm a type IV.Actually I really dont need a tan cause mu skin color is a year round tan.

Type II. I am fairly pale and don't tan all that much when I spend time outside.

Probably type II but I don't burn easily, I just don't tan very fast.

I have vitiligo. Part of my hair is white:

I am light skinned but I tan easily

I almost glow in the dark.

Same thing Joalis said. Imagine that.

Type II. I was out in the sun today with one of those awful SPF 8 "Tanning Oils" on, which, um, basically just cook your skin. I got a wonderful shade of magenta. I got distracted because I was playing with my Game Boy, so I was out there for an hour. But at least I won't be laughed at so much in P.E. What I wouldn't give to be one of those people with lovely, golden skin!

Type II
Before my hair took on a redish tink I was Type V.
Kinda sucks now. I really miss my tan. Now I feel like an albino.

Type I-I never tan, but burn very easily.

Very handsome! Don't feel bad. Red hair runs in my family, which of course means very fair skin. As I'm getting older, my hair is turning white (which is common with redheads) instead of gray. I have way more white hair than you do.

i don't know which of those to pick. i have white skin that never, ever sunburns

Well, then your answer makes even more sense than I thought. I don't know anything about vitiligo. Has your hair always had the white patch, or did it happen gradually?

That link isn't working, and I couldn't get to your homepage either. Is it down?

Type II

Vitiligo means that certain parts of my skin doesn't have pigment, so it's white. Hair growing out those areas is also white. Luckily I only have it on my legs and the spot on my forehead. I have nieces who also have it on their arms and hands.

What link do you mean? I only posted the picture, there's no link included.

Well, I guess I meant the link to that picture, I just didn't word it very well.

So you didn't see the picture?

It burns rarely, tans gradually, but I'm the whitest middle-class teenage computer geek you'll ever chance to meet. Stupid sunlight and it's always being bright and hurting of the eyes...sorry, recluse geek taking over for a sec. But seriously, when I DO go out, in the summer and such, I don't burn almost at all, and I usually neglect to put on sunscreen. For the last six or seven summers that I remember, I haven't burned ONCE. When I was a kid, a few times. But I can't even remember those very well. And I tan fine. I don't tan very often mind you, but that's because it usually leaves a weird looking tan line where my collar is. But yeah...I'm white, but I almost never burn. So, to repeat, burns rarely, tans gradually.

Nope, but I've seen your picture before, Fox!

LOL
But can you see the pic now?

Type 3

Nope, it's broken.

OK, I'll e-mail it

IV, I guess.

i would think it is a type II, always burns tans minimally.

Type II-III. I'm definitely white, but I don't usually burn that severely, and I tan gradually.

Definately type II!

Type I: White -- Always burns easy, but never, ever tans.

But I am me, so I am special

White as a sick ghost, but a special white ghost

Type IV-V

I don't see "blotchy" anywhere in here? Nor "pasty"?
Who sponsored this survey anyway? Mary Kay?

None of these seem to describe mine. It's fairly light, burns quickly, then turns to tan and tans easily. I guess, maybe, that's Type III.

Type I

lol - that would be my skin type too! Blotchy, pasty and freckly - that's me

"Freckly"?

perk!

Freckly - as in freckled with many freckles!

Type I.

I'm so white that I'm nearly translucent. Very very pale. I'm Finnish, what are you gonna do?

I guess type III..but is lighter than light brown...is ivory.I have fair skin,but I don't get burn easily.I think I have a "medium" type of skin. BTW I don't like tanning or sunbathing,but with a little sun freckles on my face start too be more visible.

Type 2
