Safe Exposure Time Calculation (Time to Burn Chart)
The most commonly used scheme to classify a person's skin type by their response to sun exposure — the degree of burning and tanning — was developed by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, MD, PhD. As a matter of fact, even the skin colours of Emoji characters are based on the Fitzpatrick scale.
| Skin Type | Color | Typical Features | Tanning Ability | Time to Burn (minutes) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Red or blond hair; light-colored eyes; freckles likely | Always burns, does not tan | 2125.85 | |
| II | Light eyes; light hair | Burns easily, tans poorly | 2551.02 | |
| III | Any eye or hair color (very common skin type) | Tans after initial burn | 3401.36 | |
| IV | Dark brown hair; medium to heavy pigmentation | Burns minimally, tans easily | 4251.7 | |
| V | Dark hair; rarely sun sensitive | Rarely burns, tans darkly easily | 6802.72 | |
| VI | N/A | Never burns, always tans darkly | 12755.1 |
