Some ultraviolet radiation from the sun (UVA) oxidises melanin in the skin which leads to its darkening. This is intended to protect the skin from further damage through sunburn.

UVB exposure can lead to the production of melanin. This then creates further darkening.

The only way to get the tan cheat is to transfer wardrobes with someone who has it. So, you have to become friends with them, or simply ask for the tan cheat, and they can most likely do that transfer for you. Of course, most people with it are rude as hell, but its worth a shot. <3
