Does tanning make your skin darker?

The color of your skin is going to depend on how the melanins in your skin are activated. For instance, some pale people only burn without getting color. Some dark skinned people will not have an obvious color change, but they will be sunburned. In any case, spending time in the sun in order to get darker skin is short-sighted in that the sun damage created will cause problems for you in the future. Dark spots, wrinkles, precancerous growths and other lovely effects are not fun to deal with as you age. If you must have a tan, try some of the tanning lotions that chemically change your skin color.

Environmental factors and genetics both play a role in determining the amount of melanin produced by an individual's skin.
