yes. it doesn't matter how thick or thin your skin is. The melatonin in your skin gets activated from the UV rays of the sun.

What light waves can go through an object?

Depends on the "object" and the frequency of the "light." All light waves can go through SOME objects, and some are stopped by an object that others can go right through. Radio waves can easily go through walls, optical light waves can go through glass, UV light can be easily stopped by many objects but can go through some others, and x-rays and gamma rays go through a wide variety of objects.

Can light travel through matter?

Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
