Tanned skin is a term used to describe the color of tanned palm skin. tanned skin is said to have a high melanin so that it can minimize the negative impact due to sun exposure and slow down in skin aging tana.

Reporting from the official website of Sahyadri Hospital, the color of palmo soil can be caused by many things, one of which is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun or other sources of artificial light. When exposed to UV, melanin will be aroused out so that it looks more brown and darker. Melanin serves to protect the skin from UV and pollution.

To date, the color of brown skin is considered beautiful and exotic, especially for people with winter countries. The assumption of exoticism against brown skin does not just happen.

Reporting from the Skin Cancer Foundation website, New York dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD explained that in America and western countries it is considered that brown skin is a symbol of health and beauty. Brown skin color is considered more attractive than brown white skin.

Obsession of tanned skin then brings a sunbathing trend in bikinis in the early 1940s. Women start wearing bikinis, coupled with the use of creams, oils, and reflectors to capture sunlight for their chocolate skin.

Unfortunately, the efforts of white people to get tanned skin are accompanied by serious consequences, namely skin cancer or melanoma. In fact, based on research from the Journal of Clinical Oncology, it showed an increase in melanoma cases between 1950 and 1954.

Cases of melanoma increased by 17 times in men and 9 times in women between 1950 and 2007. Unfortunately, the trend of sunbathing or tanning continues to be popular today.

The assumption that brown skin is exotic is also denied by a global expert who handles skin aging and cancer Dr. Marko Lens. He considered that the habit of sunbathing for tanned skin is considered healthy, even though if you sunbathe too long in the wrong time it will have a destructive impact, reported by Antara.

"If the skin becomes darker because of sunbathing, that's a sign that DNA damage has occurred," said Marko.

Dr. Marko prefers to choose skin dye products (spray tan) if you want to get tanned skin. The choice is considered healthier longer. Don't forget to get skin care from an expert.
