AS your body ages, biological changes, both physical and chemical, can cause pigmentation changes. (Gain\Lose freckles, moles, liver spots, etc.) Those same changes can cause hair to lose pigmentation and alter pigmentation. An example is someone with light red hair when born and grows progressively darker as they reach adult hood. An additional example would be graying hair in elderly people. The changes are influenced by environment (diet, excercise, living location, climate) and genetics.

Skin gets darker when exposed to sunlight because ultraviolet rays from the sun stimulate the production of melanin. Melanin is a pigment that protects the skin from damage. It is produced by melanocyte cells within the skin.

Hair also contains melanin, made by melanocytes beneath the scalp. However, the hair above the surface of your skin is already dead; its melanin cannot be renewed by the melanocytes. The melanin within each strand of hair breaks down with exposure to sunlight. The result? Your hair grows lighter in color.

spray tan or body lotion
If you mean getting darker by getting a tan you can use fake tan but I don't recommend sun beds because over recent years they have been shown to course skin cancer sometimes. If you want to naturally get darker go in the sun more because the sun burns skin gently and is more healthy because it provides the body with vitamin D. Hope this has helped.
