| Tanning occurs in the skin's outer (epidermal) layer. About 5% of the cells in your epidermis are special cells call melanocytes. When exposed to ultraviolet B light (short wave ultraviolet), melanocytes produce melanin a pigment which is activated resulting in your tan. The melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to ultraviolet A light (longer light wave), the melanin oxidizes or darkens. This darkening is your skin's way of protecting itself against too much UV light. |

| All people have the same number of melanocytes in their skin. (About five million.) However, heredity dictates how much melanin your body's melanocytes naturally will produce. For example, the skin of African Americans contains enough melanin to create a dark skin color, while the skin of Caucasians has less melanin and is pale. To avoid overexposure, a tan should be acquired gradually, according to the guidelines prescribed by your salon professional. A sunburn occurs when too much ultraviolet light reaches the skin and disrupts the tiny blood vessels near the skin's surface. | |

Why doesn't a tan last forever? Cells in the germinative layer (also called the living epidermis) are constantly splitting and pushing old dead cells upward toward the outer layer which consequentially are knocked and scraped off over the course of about one month. |
| As "new" skin replaces the skin containing the melanin the process begins again. So the tanning process must continue with the new cells. |
