What happens during the indoor tanning process?
UVB stimulates melanocyte cells in the skin to produce melanin (a pigment), which is then oxidized by UVA, turning it brown. As the outer layer of skin sheds, cells are lost and your tan will fade. To maintain a tan requires continued exposure to UV light. The degree of colouring depends on the amount of melanin you have, your individual reaction to UV light and the length of exposure.
