Melanin is the dark pigment which colors the skin. The more melanin, the darker the color of the skin. Melanin absorbs the dangerous UV rays and can protect the skin. Therefore, a person with darker skin is protected from UV rays to a greater degree than a person with fair skin. A person with dark skin, however, is still susceptible to sun damage from the sun's UV radiation. |
