SKIN TANNING INTRODUCTION
The sun
The sun is the source of life on earth. As we can see from the rotation of the seasons and
from our personal holiday experiences, light and warmth have a huge impact on our
health and physical well-being. A bronzed skin is generally associated with a healthy
and attractive appearance and, thus, enhances a person's self-confidence and well-
being. At the same time, a suntan serves the biological purpose of protecting our skin
from sunburn, particularly before going on a summer holiday.
The tanning
The tanning process is stimulated by a certain part of the light spectrum, regardless of
whether the light is naturally produced by the sun or artificially produced.
Sunlight contains both a visible spectrum, which can be detected as light by the human
eye, and invisible rays, such as those we feel as heat or that can lead to reddening of
the skin or even sunburn. Rays that tan our skin belong to the spectrum of invisible
ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It consists of three components: UVA, UVB and UVC radiation.
A perfect tan requires a preferably intense amount of UVA radiation, a very low amount
of UVB and no UVC radiation at all.
UVC rays are blocked by the earth's atmosphere, while UVB and UVA rays do pass and
can tan our skin. However, the rather high amount of UVB radiation emitted by the sun
might quickly lead to excessive irritation, reddening and, hence, to sunburn in people
with pale skin.
