Skin gets darker when exposed to sunlight because ultraviolet rays from the sun stimulate the production of melanin. Melanin is a pigment that protects the skin from damage. â¦ It is produced by melanocyte cells within the skin.   Hair also contains melanin, made by melanocytes beneath the scalp. However, the hair above the surface of your skin is already dead; its melanin cannot be renewed by the melanocytes.
Melanin is a natural substance that gives color to your hair, skin and eyes. Melanin is the primary determinant of skin pigmentation; the more melanin you have in your skin, the darker your skin color will be. The amount of melanin in your skin also determines your body's capacity to produce vitamin D, an essential nutrient, from ultraviolet light exposure.
