1. What is sunburn?
Sunburn is an inflammatory response in the outermost layer of the skin to ultraviolet (UV) light damage. Human skin has melanin - a pigment that gives skin color and protects it from the sun's rays. Melanin works by darkening the skin when exposed to the sun. The amount of melanin produced depends on genetics.

That's why some people get sunburned while others tan. Both are signs of cell damage to the skin. For people with little melanin, prolonged unprotected sun exposure can cause skin cells to become red, swollen, and painful, aka sunburn.

The consequences of sunburn can range from mild symptoms to blistering. After a sunburn, your skin may begin to peel. This is a sign that your body is trying to get rid of damaged cells on its own. Never try to peel the skin yourself, let it peel off naturally.

2. Symptoms of sunburn
These include redness, pain, and burning. After about 4-7 days, peeling of the skin may occur.

More serious symptoms include:

Skin burning and blistering.
Loss of water.
Loss of electrolytes.
Infection.

What is sunburned skin?
Sunburn or sunburn is an inflammatory reaction in the outermost layer of the skin to damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. Accordingly, human skin contains the pigment melanin, which gives the skin its color as well as protects the skin from the sun's rays by dissipating more than 99.9% of absorbed UV rays. So, when exposed to the sun for too long, the body will start producing melanin pigment to protect the skin, this is also the reason the skin becomes darker.

Sunburnt skin
Sunburn is a sign of cell damage to the skin. Accordingly, in people with less Melanin pigment when exposed to the sun, the skin will not be protected for a long time, causing the skin to be red, swollen, painful, even blistering... or even worse. called sunburn.

Signs of sunburned skin
When sunburned, your skin will have the following symptoms:

Redness of the skin: When UV rays shine on the skin for too long, the blood capillaries will burst or dilate, causing red, painful skin.
Uneven skin color: In areas of the skin exposed to ultraviolet rays, melanin pigments will be produced to protect the skin, which will lead to the appearance of melasma, freckles and brown spots.
Dry skin: High temperatures cause severe dehydration of the skin leading to flaking and bleeding.
Skin has more wrinkles: This is a sign of aging due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers of the skin.
Blistering skin: In severe sunburn, the skin may blister, even oozing pus. This is a serious case, so the person experiencing it needs to be very careful.
In addition, in severe cases, the patient will feel fatigue, headache, nausea and extensive damage.

1. What is tanning?
Darkening of the skin is a phenomenon in which melanocytes increase the production of Melanin in certain areas of the skin. This leads to the formation of dark patches or nodules that contrast sharply with the surrounding skin. Besides, dark skin is also accompanied by manifestations such as rough, rough, lifeless skin.

Dark skin: What is the cause and how to fix it?

The dark spots are usually brown, dark brown, accompanied by expressions such as rough, rough, lack of vitality.
2. Which skin area is prone to darkening?
Skin tanning often appears in the following common locations:
Face skin
The facial skin is the most prone to darkening due to the thinner skin structure compared to other areas.
Neck skin
The habit of wearing a wide-collar shirt, a two-piece shirt or skipping the step of applying sunscreen to this skin area, will be a condition for UV rays to attack, increase pigmentation and cause dark skin and freckles.
Hand skin
The skin of the hands (specifically the back of the hands) is also one of the locations that are prone to darkening due to both sun exposure and frequent exposure to chemical substances such as soap, dishwashing liquid...
Leg skin
Due to little care, the skin on the feet is very easy to darken and age prematurely if you go to the sun often.
3. Causes of skin darkening in women
There are many causes of skin darkening in women, specifically:
Too much exposure to the sun
When exposed to intense sunlight, the body will increase the production of melanin pigment to protect the skin. However, when Melanin increases, it is the factor that makes the skin dark and dry.

In addition, sunlight also promotes the activity of enzymes that destroy the MMPs background structure, break down fibrous proteins such as Collagen, Elastin... aging, loose, darker color.
Female hormone disorder
Hormonal imbalance can cause the hormone MSH (the hormone that stimulates the production of Melanin under the skin) to go out of control, thereby overproducing Melanin. Common subjects with this condition include pregnant women, lactating women, and women in the peri-menopause-menopause period.
Staying up late and prolonged stress
Constantly staying up late and prolonged stress will cause the body to release more Cortisol hormone. The high concentration of Cortisol causes the breakdown of the protein fibrous structure (Collagen, Elastin, Laminin, Fibronectin), causing the skin to sag, vulnerable to UV rays, causing skin pigmentation, freckles and lack of vitality.
