Skin type 1 is characterized by being highly sensitive to the sun, always burning, and never tanning. Individuals with this skin type typically have red hair and freckles.
In other words:
- High Sun Sensitivity: Skin type 1 is extremely susceptible to sun damage.
- Always Burns: Exposure to the sun almost always results in sunburn.
- Never Tans: The skin does not produce enough melanin to tan, even with prolonged sun exposure.
- Common Characteristics: Often associated with red hair and freckles.
Therefore, people with skin type 1 need to be extra diligent with sun protection measures such as wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and consistently using high-SPF sunscreen.
