Genetics: Genetics and skin pigment play a role in tanning. Middle-eastern people tan easily and people of celtic origin have fair skin and burn easier. Overall though, everyone should avoid prolonged sun exposure and should use sun screen protection to avoid the effects of overexposure and uv radiation that can cause skin cancer.
