Spray tanning – a better option than traditional tanning
Over exposure to sun and ultraviolet rays emitted through sunlight causes production of a pigment called melanin through certain specific skin cells called melanocytes.
Melanin is responsible for giving color to the skin. More the melanin, darker will be the skin while lesser amounts of melanin are responsible for fairer skin. It is also the pigment that protects the skin cells in a natural process by reducing UV penetration into the skin tissue by absorbing them.
How skin tans?
The sunlight produces three types of ultra-violet rays namely UVA, UVB and UVC. Out of these, UVA and UVB rays are responsible for stimulating release of melanin from melanocytes- the cells that produce melanin and cause skin tan. Whereas, UVC rays are absorbed by ozone layer in the environment and do not play any role in melanin production.
Under the influence or exposure of UVA rays, a tan is caused due to oxidation of melanin. Following UVA exposure, melanin undergoes a chemical reaction and gets darker causing skin to appear darker or tanned.
On the other hand, UVB rays not only increase melanin production but also cause changes in the skin cells that store melanin to produce a darker or tanned skin. Although tanning through natural means i.e. under sunlight is considered better yet over exposure to UV rays from sun can causes capillaries supplying blood to skin may swell or burst and may cause skin problems.
As a safe alternative, people use spray tans for tanning their skin.
