PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  The Skin body type has a soft, gentle appearance. Muscle definition may be minimized due to a soft layer of fat between skin and muscle. Female Skin types have a full face, which gets fuller with weight gain. Additionally, female Skins have puffiness in their hands and feet to the extent that the tendons in the back of their hands are not visible, even at ideal weight. Male Skins have a dominant, thick and straight torso, often with slender legs. Both male and female Skin types have either very good skin (particularly when dark) or skin that's frequently sensitive or prone to skin rashes and blemishes (typical with fair-skinned Skins.)

Skins have a playful sense of humor and are highly perceptive. Sensual and romantic with an enviable lust for life, Skins like to fully experience their senses. Having a strong connection with the earth and nature allows Skins to recharge naturally. Sociable in nature and extremely sensitive to people, Skins are usually happiest when involved with others in a mutual undertaking. However, their heightened sensitivity to others' emotional suffering can affect their own moods. This body type is exceptionally good with children and particularly effective in service occupations.
