Tanning
UV beds
These rays are artificially generated in order to tan the skin, and they are of two types: [3]
- UVA family: It is one of the types of long rays compared to its counterparts, and thus it has the ability to reach the lower layers of the epidermis, and stimulate the production of melanin by pigment cells.
- UVB family: These rays are considered shorter than UVA rays, meaning that they affect the outer layers of the skin, but overexposure to them causes sunburn, and it is also the main cause of skin cancers such as squamous carcinomas.
Natural oils
Sun tanning has become a popular fashion, and to increase the effectiveness of this method, natural oils are used that attract and focus ultraviolet rays on the skin, making it easier for it to penetrate, and thus accelerate the production of melanin, which gives the skin a dark color. [4] These oils include coconut oil, [5] and olive oil. [6]
