Science behind tan

• Tanning is the process of the skin to darken its color. 
• Tanning takes place when the pigment in your skin reacts to ultraviolet rays. 
• It takes place in the epidermis, the outer layer.
• Skin contains special pigment cells called melanocytes, these cells contain a pinkish pigment known as  melanin, that gives us our skin color.
• There are two types of UV rays: The UV-A and UV-B. 
• The skin is exposed to UV-B, melanocytes produce melanin, that travels through the layers of skin and gets absorbed by other skin cells. 
• the skin is exposed to UV-A, the melanin darkens. This darkening of your skin is its way to protect itself from excessive UV light, which we call a tan.
• can also be done in a lot of ways like using a tomato facial. It treats pigmentation effectively and brings the glow back after a tan, improving one's skin complexion.
