Suntanning is a natural condition caused due to overexposure of skin to sun’s radiations for a significant period of time. However, did you know that suntanning is actually our skin’s way of protecting itself from the sun’s harmful radiations?

According to the science of human skin, our skin becomes darker when the quantity of melanin present in our flesh increases. When we spend a considerable amount of time out in the sun, our skin reacts by producing more melanin (thus causing our skin to tan) in order to protect our skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiations.

Sure, natural tanning protects our skin from the sun’s rays to an extent but the discolouration it causes on our face is terrifying! Especially, your forehead that stands out from the rest of your face when it gets tanned.
