<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe skin uses sunlight to make vitamin D, which is essential for bone formation. People can take the vitamin D they need with only about 5 to 15 minutes of sun exposure two to three times a week 1<\/a><\/sup>. The outer layer of the skin has cells that contain melanin. Melanin is a pigment responsible for protecting the skin from the sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays. People get tan due to the overproduction of melanin, which is a result of UV exposure. This tan disappears when newer cells move to the skin surface, and tanned cells are shed off 2<\/a><\/sup>. Skin tan is a sign of sun damage. There is no such thing as a healthy tan. Getting a tan provides no protection from sunburn and other skin damage 3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Causes Tan Skin?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nExposure of the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation increases the production of melanin to protect the skin from damage. Melanin is the pigment responsible for imparting colour to the eyes, hair, and skin. The increase in melanin causes the skin to darken, which is referred to as tanning 3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UV rays are a type of radiation from the sun to the earth\u2019s surface. The two forms of UV rays that reach the earth are UVA and UVB. UVB rays cause sunburn, whereas UVA rays travel deep into the skin and cause damage. Melanin is produced by the body to protect itself from UVA radiation. As a result, the skin becomes darkened, which is why you get tan 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Symptoms of Tan Skin<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe main symptom of skin tan is skin tone darkening within 48 hours of sun exposure 3<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
