You may have heard that a bad sunburn early in life increases your chances of developing skin cancer. But those of us who got early sunburns aren't the only ones at risk for skin cancer.
Doctors classify sun risk by skin types.
Type One skin always burns and never tans. Type Two skin burns easily and tans minimally. Type Three skin burns moderately and tans gradually to a light brown. Type Four skin burns rarely and tans well to a dark brown. Type Five skin never burns.
