Our skin contains pigment forming cells that secrete melanin, the pigment that imparts brown color to skin. When harmful UV rays fall into skin, secretion this pigment melanin increase which inturn saves our skin from damaging UV rays. Thus getting brown in sun is protective mechanism of skin to save from UV rays.

This is also the reason why people with white skin sunburn more frequently!!!
