suntan
A suntan is a darkening of the skin due to exposure to sunlight or artificial sources of ultraviolet rays. This process occurs as the UV rays trigger the skin to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, as a protective response. Regular and prolonged exposure to the sun could result in a long-lasting suntan.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Suntan
An induced skin pigment (MELANIN) darkening after exposure to SUNLIGHT or ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. The degree of tanning depends on the intensity and duration of UV exposure, and genetic factors.
