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.
Skin that has turned darker or lighter than normal is usually not a sign of a serious medical condition. Normal skin contains cells called melanocytes. These cells produce melanin, the substance that gives skin its color. Skin with too much melanin is called hyperpigmented skin. Skin with too little melanin is called hypopigmented skin. Pale skin areas are due to too little melanin or underactive melanocytes. Darker areas of skin (or an area that tans more easily) occurs when you have more melanin or overactive melanocytes.
