Answer:

Pigmentation of the skin results from the accumulation of melanin-containing melanosomes in the basal layer of the epidermis. Differences in skin pigmentation result both from the relative ratio of eumelanin (brown–black) to pheomelanin (yellow–red), as well as the number of melanosomes within melanocytes.

Skin cells will produce more melanin, replacing what has been lost and increasing the percentage of melanin in the skin. This melanin has two effects, acting as a barrier to protect the skin from further damage, and darkening the natural color of the skin.
