The five letters left spell your answer! Lifesaver Letters Tanya Andy Melody Amy How does the sun burn skin? To burn or not to burn? OUCH! Hot fun in the summertime can be painful! Too much fun in the sun can burn your skin. Normal skin cells. Cells that get too much sunlight swell and fill with blood. This turns the skin red and makes it hurt. Everybody has tiny grains of color called melanin in their skin. Melanin grains are like a screen. They protect the body from the burning rays of sunlight. Everybody's skin makes melanin. Melanin grains are brown. When your skin is exposed to the sun, it makes more melanin. That is why your skin gets darker when you play in the sunshine. Tanya has a lot of melanin in her skin. Andy and Melody have a little. Amy has very little. Some parts of Amy's body make more melanin than others. These dark spots are called freckles. Everybody needs to protect their skin from the sun. Even people with lots of melanin will burn. Their skin won't burn as fast as Amy's, but it will burn.
