    Glossary Term

    Melanin

    The natural pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their colour. How much of it you have, and which kind, is why skin tones, and the way different skin tans, vary so much from person to person. The colour the sun or a sunbed leaves behind is your own; self-tan and bronzers add colour to the surface of the skin instead.
