By Haywood Hunter


This article shall deal with most of the details of obtaining a nice tan. Laying in the sun, sprays, lotions, anything of this matter can be considered as part of the tanning subject, as this has something to do with the change of the color of the skin. More details on exactly what happens to the skin when it is exposed to the sun and how it changes from a fair color to a golden brown color or in the unfortunate case red sun burnt color.

The first question that needs to be understood is the meaning of sun bathing. Sun bathing is when a person makes the decision to lay in the sun and allow the skin to soak up the rays of the sun. The reason for doing this is the desire of having a golden brown color on the skin. In unfortunate cases this does not always happen as some people gets sun burnt. If the person is fair skinned he or she might first go quite red, sometimes the skin will feel a little tight, but then after that the skin will go to the desired golden brown color as desired.

this will happen when the person spend too much time in the sun and they get burnt where the skin will turn red and it can even some time get burnt so bad that the skin forms water blisters. But as it was said this will only happen in extreme cases. Usually the skin will or can go red and then will gradually go to the desired golden brown color. This will happen if the said person is fair skinned.

If you do get a little bit of sun burn all you need to do is to keep the skin moisturized. Putting on some lotion on a regular bases will keep the skin hydrated and will prevent the skin from peeling. Also doing this on a regular bases will ensure that the chance of the redness going away and the skin being the desired golden brown color is much better. This would have been the optimum goal for the person spending time in the sun. There are many advantages to have this color skin.

One of the biggest advantages of having a darker skin is that you will not get sun burnt as easy as a fair skinned person. The skin usually looks healthier as well. The golden brown skin also having a glowing effect which makes the person looks healthy in general.

What is the function of melanin in general? The reason why the body or more specifically the melanocytes produces the melanin is to protect the body or the skin. The melanin absorbs the solar radiation and protects the body by doing this.

The first type of melanin you get is called Pheomelanin. It is the reason why the person's skin can go red at times. The other melanin you get is called eumelanin and this can make the skin turn the brown color.

It is recommended that you only spend short periods of time in the sun. Try not to stay in the sun until your skin is red as this could be very sore. To have the gradual brown color change you should only be doing this for about thirty minutes at a time.
