Tanning is the process by which the skin takes on a darker hue when exposed to ultraviolet rays. π₯°β¨ This process is often associated with holidays at the beach or by the pool, when the sun's rays stimulate the production of melanin, the skin's natural protective pigment. π²π A tan makes the skin look more radiant and healthy, emphasises body contours and camouflages some cosmetic imperfections. ππ
How does your tan stay on you? π₯π₯
