Tanning.
Abstract
Cutaneous pigment responses to ultraviolet radiation are outlined in this article. The responses induced by different wavebands are compared, and the protection against further exposure that is conferred by different types of tanning is discussed. The term "tanning" is used here to denote the spectrum of adaptive changes in the skin resulting from ultraviolet exposure and is not applied exclusively to increased melanin pigmentation.
