The skin is protected from burning primarily by the outermost layer called the stratum corneum, which acts as a barrier to moisture loss and external damage. Additionally, melanin, the pigment produced by melanocytes in the skin, absorbs and disperses ultraviolet (UV) radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn. The body's inflammatory response also plays a role in repairing damaged skin and promoting healing. Regular use of sunscreen can further enhance this protection by blocking harmful UV rays.
