First and foremost, lets us know about our skin.

 The actual skin color of humans is impacted by various substances and conditions. Generally, the human skin color ranges from darkest Brown to the lightest shades. This color change is affected due to various factors like Genetics and pigmentation. The major reason for this color change is a substance called melanin. This is produced by melanocytes present in our skin cells. The darker the skin the higher the melanocytes. 

 Another most important aspect that impacts skin color is the ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. People living in the regions that are closer to the equator tend to have darker skin tones as you move towards the poles; the skin tone is much lighter. Genetics also plays a crucial role in skin tone.

Here we have a few of the reasons that your skin can suddenly turn dark.

Sun Tan 

 Have you been at the beach for a long time or played cricket in the sun? 

 Then your skin might be tanned. The skin exposed to the sun becomes darker in color. This is because of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Don't worry, tanning isn't bad for your health but excessive exposure to huge amounts of ultraviolet rays can result in sunburn. 

 That's not something which everyone likes. The burning sensation may last for days.

 It is always recommended by the dermatologist to wear sunscreen whenever you go out in the sun.

 

Do you know that the ultraviolet rays by using your skin can affect your DNA? Excessive impact of ultraviolet radiation from the sun's rays can result in skin cancer.
