    Why can't you get a tan on your palms?

    Question #33869. Asked by PUZZLER. (May 17 03 7:18 PM)


    mk2norwich

    		The palms of your hands (and the soles of your feet) lack melanin (the substance which give your skin its colour).
    This means that while other parts of your body may tan with exposure to sunlight, your palms would not.
