What Is Tanning?
When you are exposed to the sun for a long period of time, your skin tends to get darker by one or more shades. This is known as tanning. In simple terms, tanning happens when your skin tries to protect itself from the sun, and while doing so, it gets darker. How?
To put it simply, when the ultraviolet rays from the sun penetrate into your skin, they cause melanin production. It is a way to shield your skin from getting burnt. Due to this, your skin gets darker, and there is visible tanning on your skin.
