How do I know if a tan is too dark?

If you are concerned about the color of your skin, it’s important to be aware of what is considered a “healthy” or “normal” tan. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people should stay within a range of 2-3 on the Fitzpatrick scale, which ranges from lightest (1) to darkest (6). If you have been out in the sun for an extended period and notice a change in your skin color, it may be time to consider using sunscreen more frequently.
