UVA suntan

Explanation:
When talking about sunlight, tanning and burning, you often hear that there are two types of Ultraviolet (UV) light that the sun sends to us. UV-A and UV-B are the names of these two types of light. Although we call it light, it is not visible to our eyes because the wavelength of this UV light is so short that our eyes cannot perceive it.

The closest color to this wavelength that we can see is of a violet color and this is the reason that this light is called Ultraviolet. Because of the short wavelength, the waves of this light also have a high frequency and can emit a lot of energy when they meet a surface that absorbs the light and, therefore, its energy. When it meets our skin the light (and its energy) is absorbed into the skin and chemical reactions will start with this energy. One of these reactions is the start of a chain of reactions that in the end will result in the forming of melanin, the natural pigment of the skin. This will give us a suntan and it is primarily caused by UV-A.

Indoor tanning with UVA

Explanation:
There are different types of Ultraviolet Radiadion UVA, UVB and UVC
UVB radiation burns the upper layers of skin (the epidermis), causing sunburns, while UVA radiation, which penetrates to the lower layers (the dermis), causes tanning. UVA rays are considered the culprit in the aging of skin, and UVB rays are more often linked to skin cancer. However, research suggests that UVA radiation may also play a role in skin cancer.
