Our skin is made of two layers; the dermis and the epidermis. The epidermis, provides protection and is constantly worn away and replaced. The dermis glues the skin to the body and cushions the body from stress and strain. The skin is colored by a brown pigment called melanin. When exposed to sunlight, the melanin production accelerates to protect your skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays, which gives you a suntan, hence, darkening your skin.
