UV rays stimulating the production of Melanin in order to protect skin cells from damage.

Melanin (same substance that causes freckles and differences in skin color) is stimulated by the UV radiation from sunlight.

The same thing that caused chicken to brown in the oven...the sun has cooked your outer layer of skin.. Sounds gross but that's what it is.
