When UVA and UVB light hit our skin, they penetrate the cells in the skin both superficially and more deeply, explains Kelly Olino, MD, FACS, the clinical director of the Smilow Melanoma Program and a surgical oncologist at Yale Cancer Center. The burn is due to severe damage to our cells and it generates inflammation—that's why sunburns are so painful. "The 'tan' is the result of cells called melanocytes, which are deeper in the skin, that then produce melanin, the pigment that gives our skin color," explains Dr. Olino. "The more we damage the skin with UV exposure, the more the body makes extra melanin."
