In terms of UV exposure, which Fitzpatrick skin type is likely to burn easily?

Fitzpatrick skin type I is characterized by very fair skin that often burns easily and does not tan. This skin type typically has red or blonde hair, light colored eyes, and freckles. Individuals with this skin type have little to no melanin, which means they have a lower capability to protect their skin from UV radiation. As a result, they are particularly susceptible to sunburn and UV damage. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for estheticians when assessing clients' skin types and providing appropriate sun protection advice or treatments.

In contrast, the other skin types mentioned have progressively more melanin, allowing them to tan more easily and burn less frequently. Therefore, they have a greater natural protection against UV exposure and are less likely to experience the same level of burning as someone with type I skin.
