Theory of the lunar tan

Walking along the lengthy stretch of powdery white sand,
with the cooling breeze blowing, the sound of palms swaying and serenity settling under the luminescent full moon and lit canopy of stars,

I strolled pondering: is there such a concept as a lunar tan?

Simply put, can we actually get exposed to UV rays and get a tan, as a result of extreme lengths of exposure under the moon?
As a reflective surface, the moon bounces off light from the sun.
Since the true source of light is the sun, can moonlight have the same effects as sunlight but to a much lesser degree?
Can lying on the beach at night in full view of the moon, for instance, still merit an ever so slight hint of a tan?

In a short experiment, a reflective surface can bounce off the sun's rays and shine on a second surface heating the latter in the process. Can this same principle apply to the moon as a reflective surface, shining on the earth?

Another evidence of this is that there is a cycle in photosynthesis that occurs at night. The occurrence of the cycle further supports the concept that the moonlight still has the components of sunlight because it allows for the cycle to continue regardless of time of day.

If so, exposure under moonlight does not spare us from the effects of sunlight (even is this is to the slightest degree).

...in conclusion when at the beach, lay sprawled on the sand all day and all night
to get the best-EST tan for your buck.
