What Is Skin Tanning?

Tanning is the process in the skin which increases the pigment called melanin due to excessive exposure to sunlight. This causes skin darkening on uncovered areas mainly on the face, arms, hands, legs, feet, back, and neck.

How Does Tanning Happen?

When UVA rays spike the coatings of the skin, they produce the melanocytes to produce extra melanin, which further darkens due to oxidation and induces tanning. They also induce harm to collagen.
