Fitzpatrick Scale Skin Type 3 Cool

Your Fitzpatrick Skin Type is: Skin Type 3

Your skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans in the sun. You are susceptible to skin damage as well as cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. You are also at risk for melanoma (the deadliest type of skin cancer). Seek shade between 10 AM – 4 PM, when the sun is strongest. Cover up with a hat, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+. Check your skin head-to-toe each month. Tell your healthcare provider about any suspicious growths and have an annual professional skin exam.

Your Undertone is: Cool

A cool skin undertone is characterized by hints of pink, red, or blue hues beneath the surface of the skin. Individuals with cool undertones often have veins that appear more bluish in color and tend to burn more easily than tan when exposed to sunlight. Those with cool undertones are typically complemented by jewel-toned clothing and makeup shades, enhancing the complexion with colors like sapphire blue, emerald green, and cool berry tones.
