One of the pigments that plays an important role in the human body is melanin. Its main function is to protect the skin, hair, and eyes from external influences. In particular, melanin absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun, reducing their harmful effects.
The main function of melanin in the skin is to absorb ultraviolet rays and prevent them from damaging DNA. Because excessive exposure to sunlight causes burns on the skin, accelerates the aging process, and even increases the risk of skin cancer.
Melanine drastically reduces these risks. Therefore, people with darker skin are better protected from sun exposure. White people can burn more quickly and have a higher risk of skin cancer.
At the same time, melanin also affects a person's appearance. It determines skin color and overall color, shaping a person's individual appearance.
