<p>Not obviously at all. I was significantly more tan when I lived in the upper midwest than when I lived in California. Why? My midwestern state was very outdoorsy…I was constantly outside. There was also less hype re: sunscreen (when I say “hype”, I don’t mean that there’s anything wrong with it…quite the opposite…but putting sunscreen on in the morning is part of the daily routine for a lot of people I know in California, while I didn’t know that to be true of anyone in my old state). Maybe part of it’s just natural lifestyle change, too, but in any case, it’s not a given.</p>
<p>Unless you radically alter your routine, then odds are that any change in skin tone, whether lighter or darker, will be fairly subtle. I really wouldn’t worry about this. It seems that sunscreen should make it a non-issue.</p>
