What is Sun Tan?
Sun tanning is the effect of the sun on the skin which makes the skin colour get darker than its usual tone. Even though exposure to the sun is important for deriving Vitamin D, getting suntanned does not look attractive.
The darkening of skin colour or tan lines happens due to excessive exposure to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun which increases the melanin content of the skin and makes it darker. Excessive exposure to the sun can also lead to sunburns which leave painful red spots on the body.

Tips to prevent sun tan :
Prevention is always better than the cure. It is always better to take preventive measures for tanning rather than spending the time to treat it.
Here are some tips to effectively prevent sun tanning-
- You should avoid scheduling outdoor activities during the peak time of the sun.
- Wearing bright coloured clothes provide better protection against the sun.
- Avoid getting too much skin exposed to the sun by wearing full clothes.
- Always use a sunscreen offering a higher SPF than 30. Reapply your sunscreen after every 4 hours.
- Sunglasses and hats provide extra protection against the sun.
SUNSCREEN :
Applying sunscreen is the easiest way of protecting the skin from sun damage. SPF (sun protecting factor) 30 or higher is considered to be best for Indian summers. While buying sunscreen don't forget to check for ingredients that might be harmful for the skin. Chemicals like Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate), Homosalate and Octocrylene commonly found in sunscreens can mess with the hormones and damage the cells in the body.
Apart from those, ensure to pick a sunscreen with no paraben preservatives as these are associated with allergic reactions, hormone disruption and reproductive toxicity. Also, parabens are linked to incidence of breast cancer.
