Is there a maximum darkness someone can get from sun tanning, or do you continue to get darker depending on exposure?

Kinda, it depends on your skin type and your bodies ability to produce melanin, there’s 2 kinds your body makes, eumelanin (brown) and phaeomelanin (yellow-red)
Light skinned people don’t produce as much brown melanin as they do the yellow-red, so they’re more likely to look sunburned before tan…
It’ll also depend on the exposure amounts and times, this was asked ok the askscience page if u wanna dig
