Which skin type generally handles more exposure to tanning beds?

Skin Type III is considered to have a medium level of melanin, which allows for a greater tolerance to tanning compared to Skin Types I and II. Individuals with Skin Type III usually have a light to medium complexion that can tan gradually and may tan to a light brown color after repeated exposure. This skin type typically burns less easily than Skin Type I (which burns very easily and rarely tans) and Skin Type II (which burns easily and tans minimally).

In contrast, Skin Type IV is darker and usually tans more easily than Type III, but those with Skin Type III often have a more balanced approach to tanning and can manage their exposure safely. Therefore, Skin Type III individuals can generally handle more exposure to tanning beds while minimizing the risk of burns and skin damage compared to those with lower skin types.
