How Tanning Works
At the heart of the tanning process is melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. When UV radiation hits your skin, it stimulates these melanocytes to increase melanin production. This is your body’s natural defense mechanism, as melanin acts as a protective shield against further UV damage.
There are two types of melanin:
Eumelanin: Responsible for brown and black pigmentation
Pheomelanin: Creates red and yellow hues
The ratio of these melanin types in your skin determines your natural skin color and how you tan.
