When you sit in the sun, your skin produces more melanin, a pigment that helps protect the skin by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Tanning is your body's natural response to help shield your skin from UV damage.

A lot of people think this stops you from getting a tan, but it doesn't; it helps protect your skin while you get a tan. If you find getting a tan hard, you might have to get a fake tan. A tanning bed will not help if you can't get a tan normally, it will only further damage your skin.
