Can't see your photo: Sorry, but your photo is not showing up on the website. Generally speaking it is not that difficult to determine your skin type. If you are white and never tan, but only burn, you are Type 1. If your skin is black and you never burn, you are type 6. Simple. Here's a good quiz to help determine if you are Type 2-5: https://www.devotedcreations.com/docs/The_Fitzpatrick_Skin.pdf
