The human body reacts in different ways against the solar irradiation, and this reaction depends largely on the skin type:

• Skin Type 1: (very light-skinned, many freckles, hair blond, clear or reddish) heatstroke, are often not tanning.

• Skin Type 2: (pale skin, hair clear): sometimes reaches a heat stroke, with adequate protection to tan forever.

• Skin Type 3: (skin clear without freckles): sometimes heatstroke, with adequate protection to tan forever.

• Skin Type 4: (brown skin clear without freckles, hair dark brown or black): never comes to heatstroke, tans always even without any protection.

The ideal is requesting information from a dermatologist or a pharmacist regarding the time of solar exhibition that can withstand our skin, as well as the types of creams or lotions protective and the protection factor that is needed.
