Is Federation sun screen just that good? Does the standard Federation checkup include un-tanning? I am at a loss for any explanation.

    Pretty sure Boims would wear suncreen at all times and re-apply at least five times a day, every day.

    While a part of me has every confidence that young Boimler would be depicted as equally pale, tans fade away if not maintained by lifestyle or choice, and Boimler has been in Starfleet for a bit now.

      This feels like the most reasonable answer, honestly. I hadn’t considered it because I live in the Southwestern US and often get a lot of sun exposure.

    He lives in a starship and isn’t bothered about sunbathing. He’s a nerd.
