What are the effects of sun exposure on individuals with fair skin?

In summary, individuals with fair skin are more susceptible to the damaging effects of sun exposure due to their lack of melanin. This can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. It is important for fair-skinned individuals to take precautions such as wearing sunscreen, seeking shade, and limiting sun exposure to protect their skin from these harmful effects.
