Double n: tan → tanned, tanning. «Suntanned» means the same as tanned skin. Myth: a tan is not «healthy» — it means the sun has damaged the skin a little. Do not mix up with «tan» the light brown colour.

### In the corpora

- [A tan is a sign the sun has already harmed the skin, not a shield, so tanned skin still needs sunscreen.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/86-sun-cold-and-growing-up/20/)
