Understanding UV Index
What is the UV Index?
The UV Index is a standardized measure of ultraviolet radiation intensity from the sun, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It ranges from 0 (minimal risk) to 11+ (extreme risk). Understanding your local UV index helps you take appropriate sun protection measures.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale
Your skin type determines how quickly you burn. The Fitzpatrick Scale classifies skin into six types based on melanin content and sun sensitivity:
- Type I: Very fair skin, always burns, never tans - Burns in 5-10 minutes at UV 10
- Type II: Fair skin, usually burns, tans minimally - Burns in 10-15 minutes at UV 10
- Type III: Medium skin, sometimes burns, tans gradually - Burns in 15-20 minutes at UV 10
- Type IV: Olive skin, rarely burns, tans easily - Burns in 20-30 minutes at UV 10
- Type V: Brown skin, very rarely burns - Burns in 30-45 minutes at UV 10
- Type VI: Dark brown/black skin, never burns - Burns in 45-60+ minutes at UV 10
