Melanin is a natural pigment in the skin responsible for giving your skin its color and providing protection from UV rays.
The more melanin in your skin, the darker the skin tone. It helps shield your skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.
Melanin absorbs UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage. Darker skin has more melanin, offering better protection.
Genetics, sun exposure, and certain conditions like pregnancy or hormone changes can affect melanin production.
When melanin production is imbalanced, conditions like vitiligo, albinism, or hyperpigmentation can occur.
