What is Skin Tanning?
Skin tanning is the darkening of the skin caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources. While tanning may give a temporary darker skin tone, excessive or repeated exposure can damage the skin, cause uneven pigmentation, and accelerate aging.
Causes of Skin Tanning
Sun Exposure – UV rays trigger melanin production, leading to darkened skin.
Tanning Beds – Artificial UV exposure can also cause pigmentation.
Heat Exposure – Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may darken skin.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation – Following cuts, acne, or irritation.
Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy or certain medications may make the skin more prone to tanning.
Genetic Predisposition – Some skin types tan more easily than others.
Improper Sunscreen Use – Lack of protection accelerates tanning.
Excessive Outdoor Activities – Leads to repeated UV exposure and pigmentation.
