Getting a tan is primarily a physical characteristic resulting from increased melanin production in the skin due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. This process is a natural response to protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays. While it can be seen as a sign of outdoor activity or a lifestyle choice, the desire to tan can also reflect cultural beauty standards. However, it's important to note that excessive tanning can lead to skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
