When UV rays reach your skin, they damage cells in the epidermis. In response, your immune system increases blood flow to the affected areas. The increased blood flow is what gives sunburn its characteristic redness and makes the skin feel warm to the touch.
When does a tan show up?
Most people will tan within 1 to 2 hours in the sun. It’s important to remember that both burns and tans may take a while to set in, so if you don’t see color immediately, it doesn’t mean you’re not getting any color or should use lower SPF.
Why do I look gray after I tan?
Blood carries oxygen around the body, and when this is disrupted, a discoloration may occur. The disruption may be to the flow of blood itself, which produces paleness and/or a gray tint to skin tone. A lack of oxygen doesn’t mean that blood flow has stopped, it may be just reduced, causing the skin to change color.
