Everybody starts worrying about protecting the skin from the sun as soon as the heat comes. The problem of suntan in this season makes the skin so stained that you do not even recognize your true complexion. Sun tanning causes so much damage to the skin that the skin turns black or there is a feeling that the skin is burnt. The skin of the face is more sensitive, so the sun’s harmful rays affect it the most. Due to these harmful rays, the skin of the face starts to feel dry and lifeless. Generally people think that only in the summer season there is a problem of suntan, but the truth is that suntan can destroy the facial glow if it is in the sun for long or in any season.

What is suntan?
The skin of our body is so sensitive that the environment around us has a profound effect on it. Pollution, sun, rain, cold, heat, wind and dust all affect our skin. If we do not take care of them constantly, then due to these, we get many types of skin problems. A similar problem is sun tanning, in which the skin gets burnt by sunlight and red rashes occur on it. Sun tanning causes a lot of damage to the skin and the skin starts to turn black as well. The skin of the face is more sensitive, so the sun’s harmful rays affect it the most. Due to the effect of these harmful rays, the skin of the face starts to feel dry and lifeless. It also absorbs the moisture of the skin, so due to this, the effect of wrinkles starts appearing on the face and symptoms of premature aging appear on the face.
Why is suntan?
As we discussed earlier, suntan is caused by the harmful rays of the sun. The strong rays of the sun also absorb the moisture of the skin, so the effect of wrinkles starts on the face before time. Falling in sunlight has its effect on the skin in two ways – one which shows immediate effect and the other which shows a gradual effect. To show immediate effect means that the skin changes its color quickly due to exposure to the sun. This is often seen in people who are white. Although their skin is not black. But those who are light dark colored people, their skin becomes black. Lifestyle and diet also have their own role behind being suntan.
- Going out of the sun without a cap and glasses.
- Not using sunscreen before exiting the sun can also result in sun tanning.
- By standing or walking for long hours in the sun.
- Excessive consumption of street food can cause tanning.
- Going to the market without umbrellas in the heat of the day can change the skin tone.
