How does uv rays effect your cells?
When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation there is cellular disruption. That disruption of the cells (and more specifically the isotopes in the cells) is responsible for the skin color change. Short term exposure to ultraviolet rays might cause no damage. Longer term exposure can cause mild damage and leave a person "tanned." Longer exposure can cause more extreme cellular disruption and the red coloration and other effects of a sun burn.
